"Wednesday's Inspirational Nugget" with Pastor Dreama of Table of Grace Church "He Saved You a Seat"

"Oh God, Help Me." Today's WIN Focus: Seeking Peace There are times when all I can pray is  "Oh God, help me."  I have plenty of needs, worries, and people to pray for, but the words just won't come. These are the days I lean heavily on The Holy Spirit to intercede for me. To transform my moans and groans into fervent prayers our Father understands. You see, it is only through The Holy Spirit that hope, joy, peace, and love can abound even when our soul seems a mess! As God's Spiritual Zion (because we have God's Holy Spirit residing inside) all Christians should have hope that God understands our heart's deepest desires and pleas...so why does our soul get weary? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Dreama shares more on " Happiness is Relative, Attitude is Elective " where we'll study how the fruits of the Holy Spirit operate and how we can, on purpose , draw upon Him to restore a right standing with The Father. Have a blessed rest of th...

"Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!" (Psalm 139:23-24). Wanna hear a scary reality? Only God knows the true intent of the heart. When we first accept Christ as our Savior, we change. The desire to walk in purposeful sin decreases, our thoughts become less chaotic, and our entire being longs to draw closer to Jesus. We are operating in God’s love, and life becomes more about His character working through us and less about the world around us...but... Throughout the Bible, we read accounts of how people like Adam and Eve, Jonah, David, Martha, even Peter, let their eyes stray from The Truth, and suddenly, the weight of the world and the desires of their heart settled on their shoulders.  Sound familiar? In this Sunday's message, "Attitude is Elective,"  Pastor Dreama will share biblical insights on how we can - on purpose - take our thoughts captive (2 Co...

Fall 2026 ~ Week 39 Seedtime and harvest is an exciting time in rural America. Harvest balls may be a thing of the past, but that only means more time to celebrate the season in other ways!  Football games, homecomings, hay rides, pumpkin patch tours, corn mazes, making apple or pumpkin butter the ole fashioned way, bonfires, apple cider, and those wonderful fall scents! Oh how much fun Fall brings into our lives! The Bible says a lot about seedtime and harvest; some verses are literal while others are referencing a spiritual harvest.  Wednesday's Inspirational Nugget  is the perfect time to quietly reflect on these verses for the WIN! Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” 2 Corinthians 9:10 “He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.” Lu...

Kelly @ Grant Co., WV In Loving Memory of   Holly Michelle Evans  (1/2/1976 – 7/23/1995) & Frederick Elwood Evans, Sr.  (8/9/1950 –  2/14/2018) REFLECTION “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”   (Genesis 28:15).  Question of the day: Why do we feel alone? The little bird thought itself alone, but through the snow-splotched glass, I silently cheered it on.  I wondered how long it would search before it gave up and flew away hungry. But this little bird was resilient. Mesmerized, I  watched as time after time, it shook itself, flew off for a few seconds, and returned. Eventually, its innate tenacity and stubborn determination paid off. It found its daily sustenance. It had lighted on the crusty snow  cautious but determined, tired and hungry, but willing to go a little dee...

I knew the ruts and potholes, The rocks, turns, and those familiar one-sided trees. They felt a lot like ole friends; Always there – always welcoming. Forward movement was slow and steady. Looking back through the rearview mirror, I hit the brakes when I realized that the scene behind me Was just as beautiful as the one before me. Yes, that backward view was indeed beautiful. I let off the brake and pulled  forward as I felt God say: “Hey! You haven’t seen anything yet!” And with a smile, I drove forward, Destination: awesome. A DEEPER LOOK Read Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Jeremiah 15:16 John 10:27 Deuteronomy 30:17-18 Matthew 4:4 1 Samuel 3:4 Romans 10:17 John 8:47 This week’s verses stress the importan...

Table of Grace Church Ministry Blog from Beyond the Mirror week 42  “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom” ( Psalm 90:12, ESV). REFLECTION I’d squirm and she’d give me the look. I’d yawn and she’d swat my leg. I’d giggle and she’d threaten me with my big brother. Church...again...Twice a week. Sometimes more...the point was moot - wasn’t it? But then again... I can still recall my mom’s stories of “All day meetin’s and dinner on the ground”.  According to her, the entire community would spend Sundays at church - all day Sunday - and walk home by lantern light. Her reply of “It’s just what folks did back then” didn't answer my question of why they'd want to! Apparently, those folks weren’t  in a rush to leave God’s house. They’d tarry a bit, sing from hymnals, listen to the preacher, and eat together. Kids would nap under the pews, no electronic gadgets to calm them down or occupy their wandering minds. They built relat...
