    Jesus knows our suffering, calls us to courageous faithfulness amid trials, and promises eternal life to those who endure with Him.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts that feel threadbare. Bills stack up. Doctors call back. Friends pull away. Tears fall in the dark, and worries pace the floor at 3 a.m. You wonder, Does Jesus see this? Does He know my name? Does He care about my pain? Smyrna asked the same questions. They ...read more

    Jesus sees and loves His church, calls us to repent from compromise, and urges us to hold fast to Him with hope and faithfulness.

    Friends, gather your hearts. The Lord of the church has written us a letter. Not a postcard from far away, but a message pressed with nail-scarred love, addressed to people He knows by name. He sees the late-night prayers and the early-morning faithfulness. He hears the sighs nobody else hears. And ...read more

     | 150 views

    God’s presence transforms His house and people, inviting us to deeper prayer, reverence, and dedication as we become a welcoming home for Him.

    There is a hush that falls over the soul when you remember that God makes a home among His people. Not a far-off fortress, not a sterile sanctuary, but a home—where His name rests, where His eyes watch, where His heart abides. Think about that. The Maker of mountains sets His affection on a house ...read more

    Jesus lovingly calls us to reject complacency, pursue genuine relationship with Him, and value what truly matters over worldly success or self-sufficiency.

    There’s a kindness in the way Jesus speaks to us. He doesn’t holler from across the street; He knocks at the front door. He doesn’t shove His way into our living rooms; He stands and waits, like the Friend you can trust with the tender truth. You can almost hear the hinge creak as you reach for the ...read more

    The sermon calls believers to reject favoritism and embrace Christlike love, welcoming all as equals in God’s family regardless of status or background.

    Sometime between the handshake at the door and the last hymn, most of us have felt it—the little nudge to measure people by pocketbooks or pedigrees, by what they drive or where they sit. Maybe you’ve been on the other side of that glance. You walked into a room, and before you spoke a word, you ...read more

    Are you a participant in the growth of the church, or are you a bird sitting in its branches pooping on people?

    “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me."

    How can revival take place when the church is dead and there is no voice to speak life into them? Such is the state of affairs of the churches today.

    Opening illustration: A U.S. Lutheran bishop tells of visiting a parish church in California and finding a stirring red and orange banner on the wall. “Come Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!” it declared in words printed under a picture of a fire burning. The bishop was also interested in the sign directly ...read more

    Election in the Church today is very ugly at every level from local congregation to the international forums. According to their spiritual standard people play the politics in a simple position to the highest rank. God hates.

    Jesus has just told the Parable of the Good Shepherd. The shepherd goes after the straying sheep. Then Jesus spells out what WE need to do when we see a member of our church falling into sin and straying.

    INTRODUCTION We sometimes hurt people. I can think of times when I’ve hurt people. And people sometimes hurt us. I can think of times when I’ve been hurt. It happens in families, in workplaces and in churches. There was a time when Paul was planning to visit the church in Corinth. But he was ...read more

    Within the necessary unity of the church, there is also beneficial diversity. Such unified diversity seems like a paradox, but in reality, it is a thing of beauty. Healthy churches must strive to promote unity and diversity at the same time.

    Marks of a Healthy Church Ephesians 4: 11-16 In the preceding verses of chapter four, Paul has spoken about the unity that is necessary within the body of Christ in order for the church to be effective in daily life and service unto the Lord. Within this necessary unity, there is also beneficial ...read more
