    based on 3 ratings
     | 193 views

    True greatness is found in serving others with everyday acts of kindness, recognizing and loving Jesus in the overlooked and ordinary people around us.

    Some of the most breathtaking moments with Jesus arrive in ordinary clothes. A paper cup of water handed to a weary worker. A brown-bag sandwich shared on a bench. A text sent at midnight that says, “I’m here.” He has a way of walking into our Mondays and Market Streets, our waiting rooms and ...read more

    God lovingly searches and guides our hearts, illuminating our true priorities so we pursue what truly matters and find purpose in His presence and direction.

    Friends, welcome. There’s a candle God has placed within you—a steady, searching flame that glows in the quiet corners of your soul. You feel it when the house finally settles for the night and the noise goes still. You sense it on the commute, when the dashboard hums and your heart starts ...read more

     | 107 views

    God’s presence and promise give us courage to face opposition and uncertainty, reminding us that prayer shapes our lives and God stands with us always.

    Some weeks feel like a wrestling match. You wake up with a knot in your stomach, step into the day with a brave face, and still hear the whispers of worry: What if this doesn’t work? What if they don’t understand? What if I’m not enough? You’ve felt the headwinds—critics at the office, tension at ...read more

     | 124 views

    When we face overwhelming challenges, prayer and faith in God’s promises empower us to overcome fear and step forward with courage and obedience.

    Some days, the mirror tells the truth you’d rather ignore. Not the truth about hairlines and headlines, but the whisper that says, “You’re small.” Bills stack tall, bosses bark loud, diagnoses loom large, and your heart crouches like a child in the hallway of a big, echoing house. Have you felt ...read more

     | 209 views

    God gives us a new identity in Christ, freeing us from old labels and shame, and calling us beloved, forgiven, and truly new.

    There’s a name tag on the table for every one of us. Maybe it’s not paper and ink, maybe it’s old memories and new mistakes, report cards and résumés, whispers and headlines. Labels stick. Some feel like tattoos. Others like Post-its that refuse to peel away. Have you noticed how fast the world ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 109 views

    The sermon urges us to personally confess Jesus as the Christ, surrendering all to Him, and finding true life and identity in wholehearted allegiance to Him.

    There are questions that settle the soul. They steady the heart in a world of headlines and hurry. One question rises above the noise like a bell in a storm. Jesus asks it with gentle authority and unshakable kindness: “Who do you say that I am?” We carry many names on our backs—titles, labels, ...read more

    God uses ordinary people’s courage and compassion to lift others from life’s pits, reminding us to act rightly and help those in need now.

    Some days feel like pits, don’t they? Not just potholes in the road, but deep, echoing cisterns of disappointment, decisions, and delays. You pray and the sky seems quiet. You plan and the ground gives way. You stand in the middle of a week that you never wanted and wonder, How do I get out of ...read more

    Live each day in a way that reflects the gospel, showing unity, courage, and Christlike character in every aspect of ordinary life.

    Friends, grace to you. Some weeks feel like a blur of keys, calendars, and carpool lines. We know the drill: the alarm rings, the coffee brews, the inbox fills, and our souls whisper, “Lord, make this count.” In the hum of everyday life—school runs and staff meetings, grocery aisles and garage ...read more
