		<title>In His Presence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	What brings joy to your life? Our culture seems captivated with the pursuit of finding happiness and joy in life. The Declaration of Independence subscribes to the notion that as humans our unalienable right is to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. Television commercials promise happiness stemming from new cars, cold beer, or the latest cure-all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Priorities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	We live in a hustle and bustle world in which time seems to be a precious commodity in short supply. The supply of time is not decreasing; rather the demands for our time are increasing. Thus, the word for this week is priority. The only way we can survive in this fast-paced, time-consuming environment is [...]]]></description>

		<title>God is Imminent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Have you ever felt as though God forgot you? Have you ever thought the Lord was uninvolved in your life? The word for this week is imminence. Imminence speaks of the nearness of God. Imminence speaks of God’s intimate involvement in your life. When circumstances and situations in your life seem chaotic, you may find [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heaven</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I have a word this week for you that is often out of our purview. It is a very important word for Christians; however, it seems as though that we have lost sight of what this word represents and the hope that it provides. The word for the week is heaven. For the saints in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Overwhelming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	What a wonderful God we serve! His greatness, his majesty, and his glory; combined with all that he has done for you through his only Son, Jesus Christ leads to our word for the week, overwhelming. Everything God has done through Jesus Christ was done for you and when you contemplate this, it is overwhelming. [...]]]></description>

		<title>God Knows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I trust you had a great weekend and a wonderful worship experience this past Sunday. This morning as I was praying I had this thought that I want to pass on to you as our word for this week. It is actually a brief phrase; God knows. You know that God is omniscient that is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Be an Overcomer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Jesus said, “in the world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). The word for this week is overcome. Throughout the Bible believers are referred to as those who overcome. I like being an overcomer, though I do not always like the road I must travel to become [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hope</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Words are powerful, yet what makes a word powerful is not the word itself but the meaning we attach to that word. The word for this week is one of the most powerful words in the Christian vocabulary. The word is hope. Biblical hope means certain hope or assured hope. Biblical hope stems from your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Commitment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Have you ever seen construction crews building a highway? If so, you notice that before they pour the concrete they build a steel mesh made of rebar. This rebar mesh reinforces the concrete making it stronger so that it can withstand the pressure of the heavy loads exerted upon it by the vehicles that depend [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	There are so many words to contemplate that I find it difficult to zero in on just one word. However, the word for this week is trust, specifically trust in the Lord. Trust is a word the Lord has continually impressed upon my heart. Trust and its corresponding word faith are the result of confidence [...]]]></description>
