    Recognizing and overcoming the enemy's tactics of fear, doubt, and condemnation through faith in God.

    Imagine you're facing a nine-foot-tall giant. Scary, right? That's what the Israelites were dealing with in 1 Samuel 17. Goliath was this massive dude who had everyone shaking in their boots.

    We all face challenges and burdens that can leave us feeling weary and hopeless. But Jesus offers us rest and hope. He invites us to exchange our heavy burdens for his light yoke of grace. This rest is best experienced in community, where we can support and carry one another's burdens.

    We all need hope, especially after the kind of year we've had. And guess what? That hope is found in Jesus. Life can be a real drag sometimes, right? School, chores, sports, drama... it can all pile up and leave us feeling wiped out. But Jesus gets it. He says, "Come to me, all you who are weary ...read more

     | 675 views

    Jesus wants us to be people who bring light into the world. To do this, we need to be careful about what we allow into our hearts and minds. The things we see and focus on can either bring light or darkness into our lives.

    Our eyes play a big role in shaping our desires and actions. Jesus talks about this when he addresses the sin of adultery. He emphasizes the importance of where we look, as it can lead us down a path of darkness. Often, temptation starts with a glance, but if we're not careful, it can turn into ...read more

    By taking Jesus' yoke upon ourselves, we learn from Him and find rest for our weary souls. This involves surrendering our own ways, embracing His teachings, and submitting to His authority.

    Hey guys, let's chat about something Jesus said that's pretty cool. You know how sometimes life feels like you're carrying a backpack full of bricks? School, friends, family, future plans - it all gets heavy, right? Well, Jesus gets it. He said in Matthew 11:28-30, 'Come to me, all you who are ...read more

     | 896 views

    We are fragile jars of clay carrying the treasure of Jesus' presence. The question is not what we will do with Jesus, but what Jesus will do with us.

    Life can be tough, right? But instead of just leaving us in the dark, God shines a light into our lives. He doesn't just tell us off; He gives us hope and changes us. God shines a light into our lives. Paul talks about Jesus being the boss and us being His crew. Jesus is in charge, and we're here ...read more
