    Jesus meets us in the storm, reveals Himself above the waves, strengthens faith through obedience, rescues when we sink, and draws worship from our weakness.

    THE PROBLEM THEY SUFFERED Just hours before, the disciples had a completly different frame of mind. They were psyched.They were energized and confident, ready to take on anything. Jesus had just fed thousands with a boy’s lunch, and the crowd erupted with messianic excitement. People surged ...read more

    When Worship Becomes Empty Words PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 92 views

    The sermon urges us to approach God with reverence, listen before speaking, and honor our promises, trusting that God shapes the world through prayerful hearts.

    There’s a hush that falls on the heart when we remember who God is. The ancient preacher of Ecclesiastes takes us by the hand and leads us into that hush. He knows about rushed mornings and restless nights. He knows about hurried hands and harried hearts. And he whispers a needed word to weary ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 408 views

    Trusting Jesus with even the smallest faith leads to powerful results, as God values humble obedience over impressive displays of strength or ability.

    If you’ve ever sat at a kitchen table with a bill you can’t pay, a diagnosis you can’t fix, or a relationship you can’t untangle, you’ve likely whispered the disciples’ prayer: "Lord, increase our faith." It’s a simple sentence with a grand ache. We know the feeling of being stretched thin, of ...read more

    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

     | 241 views

    True faith is shown by compassion for others; ignoring those in need hardens our hearts and distances us from God’s grace and eternal hope.

    Friends, welcome. Some stories slip past our defenses and sit down in the living room of our hearts. Jesus tells one of those stories today. It hums with hope and honesty. It whispers to our comfort and calls to our conscience. It lifts our chin so we can see the person at the gate and the God who ...read more

    Trusting God with opposition frees us from control and revenge, inviting us to pray honestly and rest in His faithful care amid conflict and criticism.

    Some weeks feel like a parade of prickly people and pricklier problems. A stray comment stings. A coworker corners you with criticism. The group text lights up with misunderstandings, and your heart feels like a drumline—pounding, pounding, pounding. Have you ever replayed a conversation until your ...read more

    God’s power is greater than our problems; prayer and obedience invite hope and restoration even when circumstances seem impossible or overwhelming.

    Some weeks feel like a siege, don’t they? The walls close in. The headlines howl. The bills glare. Your energy ebbs and your faith feels small. You stand at a window and you wonder, “How is this going to work?” If that’s you today, you’re in familiar, biblical company. Jeremiah knew about closed ...read more

    Jesus’ sacrifice fully cleanses our deepest guilt, offering complete forgiveness and hope, because we are more loved in Christ than we ever imagined.

    Some stains laugh at soap. You scrub and soak, and they just smile back at you. Life has its stains too—memories that will not fade, words we wish we never said, habits that haunt our sleep. We carry quiet shame the way a traveler shoulders a heavy pack. We try harder, promise bigger, resolve ...read more

    God defines our true identity, calling us chosen and purposeful, empowering us to live distinctly and shine His light in a world of confusion.

    Good morning, friends.

     | 1,126 views

    Jesus gives pastors as a loving gift to His church, calling us to honor, support, and pray for them as they shepherd and serve us.

    Some of the greatest gifts Jesus gives to His church have names and faces, coffee-stained sermon notes, calloused knees, and tender hearts. They stand at hospital bedsides, whisper prayers in empty sanctuaries, answer phone calls after midnight, and show up again on Sunday with a smile that says, ...read more

    Gratitude transforms our lives; when we return to thank Jesus for His mercy, we experience deeper wholeness and the richness only gratitude can bring.

    Some of the most powerful moments in Scripture begin with a simple cry for help. Think about it: a whisper becomes a waterfall, a sigh becomes a song. When weary people raise faint voices to heaven, heaven hears. In Luke 17, ten tired men lifted ten shaky prayers. They were outcasts, pushed to the ...read more
