    True worship happens when our hearts and minds align with God’s truth, allowing authentic praise regardless of our changing feelings or circumstances.

    Friends, pull up a chair and take a deep breath. Some of us walked in today with hearts humming like a racing engine, others with batteries barely blinking. Some of us feel God’s nearness; others wonder if our prayers are bouncing off the ceiling. Can I encourage you? You are not here by accident. ...read more

    The sermon urges us to focus our attention on God, allowing His light to clear our vision and transform our hearts, actions, and perspective.

    Friends, have you ever tried to read with smudged glasses or looked through a windshield streaked with grime? You can see, but you can’t see well. Colors dull. Edges blur. You miss what’s right in front of you. Life can feel that way, can’t it? The calendar fills up, the news churns, the phone ...read more

    The devil loves to see people hurting, feeling desperate and hopeless. He thrives on our pain, our fears and confusions, and frustrations. But God will take the worst that the devil can muster, and he will make it a doorway into the greatest glory that you have ever seen.

    I'm going to say some things here today that you might have to think about. Let me start by saying the battles, the struggles, the warfare that you see and experience in the world today, it's not really about us fighting the devil. It is really about two super powers fighting it out. I ...read more

     | 222 views

    True acceptance with God comes not from self-righteousness or comparison, but from humble confession and receiving the mercy and love found in Jesus Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a scoreboard in our heart. You know the scoreboard I mean—the quiet tally of how we’re doing compared to others, the inner itch to be seen as enough, the nervous need to be noticed and approved. We measure our worth by the week we had, the ...read more

    Following Jesus means trusting Him through every joy and trial, knowing He leads us, shapes us, and walks with us every step of the way.

    Some days feel like a string of small skirmishes—spilled coffee on the way out the door, a terse email that stings, headlines that weigh heavy. Other days carry a deeper ache—an empty chair at the table, a diagnosis you didn’t see coming, a door closed that you prayed would open. In moments like ...read more

    God’s love reaches us at our lowest, offering grace and acceptance not because we are worthy, but because He chooses to love us first.

    Some of us slipped into church today with a quiet ache that words barely touch. Some carry the weight of a week that felt longer than it should. Some bring a secret shame that still stings, a failure that still whispers. And yet here we are—together—hearts open, hands ready, longing for a word that ...read more

    Trusting God with our decisions brings peace and guidance; through prayer and seeking His wisdom, He shapes our lives and directs our paths.

    Most of us know the look of a crowded calendar and a crowded heart. The inbox pings, the bills stack, the decisions loom. We stand at the crossroads and try to make sense of the map, squinting at arrows and options. Have you felt that pull—wanting to do the right thing, yet unsure which door to ...read more

    When it comes to doubt, we need to see that: 1. Doubts can build faith. 2. We will never have all the answers. 3. A cynical spirit leads us away from God.

He says, “A young mother wrote that her joy had turned to bitterness and grief when she delivered a daughter with spina bifida, a birth defect that ...read more
