Upon This Rock - Location Matters

Janetta Allis / December 30, 2024

Before embarking on his final journey to Jerusalem, where he would lay down his life as a redemption for the world’s sins, Jesus took his disciples to Caesarea Philippi. This location, formerly known as Bashan in the Old Testament and Mt. Hermon, held great significance for Jesus. It was not an arbitrary or spur-of-the-moment decision. He was heading straight to the epicenter. Here, Jesus declared, “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” (Matthew 16:18). Jesus was going to Ground Zero.

During my upbringing in the church, the preachers often emphasized the significance of Peter’s revelation of Jesus’ identity. They would passionately exclaim into the microphone, “God granted Peter the keys to the k

The Right Shoes for the Journey: The Right Fit

Janetta Allis / October 16, 2023

In any race, the right equipment is crucial to your success. Imagine being given shoes that don’t fit properly, hindering your ability to run and jump with precision. The wrong shoes would become a stumbling block, causing you to trip and fall, ultimately losing the race. That’s why it’s crucial to have the right tools for success. With the right equipment, you’ll be able to perform at your best, pushing yourself to achieve greatness and come out on top. Don’t let ill-fitting shoes hold you back. 

I bet that is how young David felt when given King Saul’s armor to fight Goliath. 

“Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he w

An Aroma that Touches God’s Heart

Janetta Allis / August 7, 2023

I’m unsure if it’s a fresh perspective of a Bible character or topic that most Christians have encountered numerous times or if it’s simply an improved awareness or understanding. However, it’s inevitable that whenever you delve into the Bible and study it, God reveals something new you haven’t seen before. 

Noah was more than just a man who constructed an ark. According to the Bible, Noah was a man who walked faithfully with God and was considered righteous and blameless. His name means “rest and comfort,” and the Lord favored him.

God selected Noah to present the first atoning sacrifice as an act of worship. This sacrifice ultimately led to God’s repentance once again. He first repented when he saw that his creation had become wicked and felt remors

Giants Living In Your Territory

Janetta Allis / June 19, 2023

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”  (Ephesians 6:12)

A Promise, Then A Problem

Moses sent twelve spies into the land of Canaan to report on the land and its habitants.  Finally, the children of Israel were on the verge of claiming their promised territory.  After leaving Egypt, they wandered in the desert for approximately 40 years. Now, they have an opportunity to see the Promise Land. 

Imagine their anticipation and excitement.  Maybe, they thought God would allow them to walk into the Promise Land without a fight.  Maybe,
