    God’s grace alone justifies us, not our performance; we are called to live boldly and freely by faith in Christ’s finished work.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a knot in our stomach. We love Jesus. We long to please Him. Yet we bump into old habits, heavy expectations, and the quiet pressure to perform. We want to get it right. We want to be faithful. And in the middle of it all, we wonder: Does God ...read more

    Whole-life worship means daily surrendering ourselves to God, allowing His grace to transform our minds, relationships, and service into a living offering.

    Family, can we pause for a holy breath? The kind you take when the noise quiets, the to-do list loosens its grip, and you remember that God really is as kind as Jesus says He is. Sometimes the holiest moments don’t happen on mountaintops but in kitchens and cubicles, minivans and meetings. Paul’s ...read more
