Looking For Hope In A New Year Series

Contributed by Chuck Moore on Jan 6, 2024

The New Year is often faced with anxiety and fear. Inflation, world conflicts, political unrest....the list goes on and on. So, where do we turn for real hope?

The Two-Man Lift

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Mar 18, 2025

When something was too heavy for us to lift, it was a policy at my work that anything over 50 lbs. was to have a two-man lift. This way the heavy object could be lifted without injury! Prayer is similar at times!

The Two-Man Lift Ephesians 6:14-18; 1 Samuel 38-40 When something is too heavy for you to carry, what do we do?

Let God Be God

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 2, 2025

When denial dies and we stop playing God, repentance opens the heart to mercy, and grace restores joy that guilt once stole.

There is a certain kind of silence that settles on the heart when we finally stop pretending. Not the silence of defeat, but the quiet that comes when we realize we were never meant to carry the whole world on our shoulders. When we stop trying to be God, something in us exhales—and God can ...read more
