    God’s power and presence remain active today, inviting us to trust Him in hardship, pray boldly, and expect miracles even in ordinary moments.

    Some days faith feels thin as fog. You stand at the kitchen sink with a coffee cup and a knot in your stomach. You sit in the waiting room and study the floor tile as if it could talk back. You lie awake and watch the red glow of the clock turn minutes into miles. In moments like these, we need ...read more

    Does God Work In Mysterious Ways?

    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,284 views

    One of the first things every Christian needs to learn about God is that He is incomprehensible, which means we are not capable of fully understanding Him.

    However, that does not mean He is mysterious because He has revealed Himself quite extensively in the Bible, nature, and especially in Jesus, who shows us a wonderful picture of what the Triune God is like, to the point that we can truly and intimately know Him well. I hear the phrase "God ...read more

    When we come to church, remember to get to the right focus - God, and get to the right agenda - prayer, communion with God.

    We are looking at a rare glimpse of Jesus today – His anger over something He is passionate about. It pays for us to take note. If it can drive Him to behave in such a way, it must be something we need to take note of today. The Temple was a good thing. God commanded the people of Israel to ...read more
