Our words and promises carry deep consequences; God calls us to speak carefully, obey courageously, and trust His grace even when we fail.
Friend, your words carry weight. Promises shape people. Vows mark moments. We know the power of a whispered “I do,” the gravity of “I’ll be there,” and the ache of “I’m sorry.” Words can build bridges, and words can burn them. Have you ever wished you could take a sentence back? Have you ever felt ...read more
Scripture: Judges 11:29-40
Topics: Obedience, Sacrifice
True stability and lasting fruit come not from striving, but from letting Christ dwell deeply within us, shaping our hearts and lives with His presence.
Welcome, friends. If life this week felt like a tug-of-war—pulled by pressure, pushed by problems—take a breath. You’re in good company, and you’re in a good place. The God who made you also means to steady you. He has a way of slipping peace into a restless heart and strength into weary bones. ...read more
Scripture: Colossians 2:7, Ephesians 3:17
Topics: Abiding, In Christ
True acceptance with God comes not through self-righteousness or comparison, but through humble confession and receiving His mercy offered in Jesus Christ.
Some stories slip into the room and sit right beside us. This is one of them. It whispers to the weary, “You can put down the mask,” and it nudges the proud, “You can put down the measuring stick.” Picture it: two people walk into God’s house—one with a polished prayer and a proud posture, the ...read more
Scripture: Luke 18:9-14
Topics: God's Mercy, Divine Compassion
God’s mercy offers second chances, inviting us to respond in obedience and repentance, turning ordinary steps of faith into opportunities for grace and transformation.
Some of us walked in today carrying second thoughts and stale regrets. Maybe the week wore you down and your prayers felt thin. Maybe a call from God sits on your heart like a note left on the kitchen table—short, simple, and somehow weighty: Go. Speak. Forgive. Begin again. If that’s you, Jonah 3 ...read more
Topics: God's Mercy, Mercy
Trusting God at life’s uncertain crossings requires both faith and obedience, as He calls us to step forward and follow Him into the unknown.
Have you ever stood at the edge of something new—heart thumping, hands trembling—wondering how you’ll make it across? Maybe it’s a decision you can’t delay, a diagnosis you didn’t ask for, a door you’re afraid to open, or a river of unknowns that seems swollen and wild. You can hear it rush; you ...read more
Scripture: Joshua 3:1-9
Topics: Courage, Conviction
Jesus seeks us where we are, calls us by name, and transforms our lives with grace that leads to joyful repentance and welcome.
I wonder how many of us walked in today feeling small. Small under the weight of worries, small beside someone else’s success, small in the shadow of our own failures. We learn early how to tuck ourselves away—behind busyness, behind bravado, behind careful smiles. We wear “I’m fine” like it’s ...read more
Scripture: Luke 19:1-10
Topics: God's Pursuit, Our Response
God continually leads us in victory, spreading Christ’s transforming presence through us, even in weakness, so that others experience the hope and fragrance of grace.
Some weeks feel like we’re pushing a grocery cart with a wobbly wheel through a crowded store—everything leaning sideways, squeaking loudly, and refusing to go where we want. And yet, here we are, gathered in grace, held by the hand of a God who never loses a battle and never misplaces a child. ...read more
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 2:14
Topics: Victory, Perseverance
God draws near to us in our loneliness, offering peace and hope by pouring His love into our hearts through Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Some nights feel longer than others. The house is quiet, the phone is still, and the ache of an empty chair at the table can sound like thunder in the soul. Bills stack up, worries pile high, and even in a crowded room it’s easy to feel hidden in plain sight. We smile for photos, but the heart can ...read more
Scripture: Romans 5:5
Topics: Christmas
Gratitude opens our hearts to God’s presence, transforming ordinary moments and burdens into opportunities for praise, hope, and deeper relationship with Him.
Some of us walked in today with full hearts; some with heavy ones. Either way, here you are, and here God is—nearer than the breath you just took. Picture an old, sturdy gate swinging open. Hear the hinges creak a welcome. On the other side? Not a cold courtyard, but the warm smile of a Father who ...read more
Scripture: Psalm 100:4
Topics: Thankfulness, Choice
God lovingly calls all people, regardless of status or struggle, to gather in His presence, remember His mercy, and rejoice together in shared grace.
If you’ve arrived today with a full calendar and an even fuller heart, you’re in good company. Some of us come carrying victories we can’t wait to tell, others arrive with questions that have kept us up at night. Some of us are bone-tired. Some of us are heartsore. And all of us—every single ...read more
Scripture: Deuteronomy 16:11
Topics: Worship Purpose, Worship
God’s steadfast presence and unfailing love anchor us in every season, inviting us to trust, praise, and find hope in Him alone.
If your week felt like a tornado of headlines and headaches, take a breath. Set down the worry that kept you awake and the weight that sat on your shoulders at the stoplight. Hear the hymnbook of heaven open above you. Psalm 33 is God’s gentle call to lift our eyes and let our hearts be held steady ...read more
Topics: Praise, Worship
Trust God to fight your battles; respond with prayer and praise, knowing His presence and power are greater than any fear or opposition you face.
Some mornings the alarm clock sounds like a starter pistol. We leap from bed straight into a race we didn’t sign up for—emails, meetings, bills, a stack of must-do’s. And then there are the battles no calendar can predict: the doctor’s report that makes your heart pound, the prodigal child who has ...read more
Scripture: 2 Chronicles 20:15, 2 Timothy 4:7-8
Topics: Spiritual Warfare, Divine Battle
The sermon urges us to open our hearts to God’s Word, allowing Him to transform us so we bear lasting spiritual fruit in our lives.
Good morning, friends. I’m so glad we get to sit under the kindness of Jesus together today. If you could see my heart right now, you’d notice both a hunger and a hush—hunger for God’s voice and a hush that says, “Speak, Lord. I’m listening.” Isn’t that what we all long for? A steady word in a ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 13:1-9
Topics: Sowing, Harvesting, Spiritual Significance
Relying on the Holy Spirit’s power, not our own efforts, keeps our focus on Christ and sustains us daily by God’s grace.
If you’ve ever started your morning with grand intentions and then tripped over your own shoelaces by lunch, you’re in good company. We set the coffee, open the calendar, whisper a prayer, and head out the door with a heart set on Jesus. Then the rush hits. Emails multiply. Expectations pile high. ...read more

The letter brought from Jerusalem by the delegation caused quite a stir at Antioch. When Barnabas and Silas read the letter and confirmed it personally a great cloud was lifted from the minds and hearts of the believers in Antioch...
