God’s grace meets us in our weakness, transforms our identity, and invites us to live in continual amazement and gratitude for His mercy.
Some days feel like thin ice, don’t they? One more worry, one more regret, and the surface might crack. You smile for the room, but your heart whispers, “I’m worn, I’m weak, I’m wondering.” And then, in the hush of that honest place, a gentle truth arrives: God’s mercy is not measured by your ...read more

Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-7
Jesus didn't die (just) for your sins; He died for YOU and He deserves to get what He paid for.
An older gentleman was driving home from work when his cell phone rang. His wife was on the line in a panic and said, "Honey, be careful driving. I just saw on the TV that some maniac is driving the wrong way on the interstate!" The old man replies, "One? There's hundreds of them!" That story ...read more

Jesus comes with his need to a broken person( in his brokenness), not to burden him, but to bless him and make him a blessing for others. Meeting Jesus’s need in your lack and brokenness creates an avenue for Jesus to bless you and become a blessing to many others.
Jesus asks the samaritan woman for a cup of water. This is the greatest paradox in the Bible. Jesus never asked anything from anyone. He always gives but rarely asks for something from others. Jesus comes to the most broken person and expects something from her. The broken person has nothing(in ...read more
Scripture: John 4:7
God's most essential attribute is His Mercy -- full of Mercy! He expects His children to be merciful as well. "Blessed are the merciful . . . "
I love the sign displayed at a convent, "Trespassers will be punished at the fullest of the law!" signed 'Sisters of Mercy.' Punished by mercy? That doesn't quite make sense! What is mercy? When we look up the definition in the dictionary it states the following: ...read more
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:3
Because Christ is enthroned above all, believers can live with confidence, purpose, and authority, trusting their secure position and God’s ongoing work in their lives.
Friends, can we take a breath together and remember who our God is? He is the Lifter of our heads, the Steady Hand in our storms, the Shepherd who knows every scar and every sigh. Some of us walked in with tired feet and tender hearts, and the week has felt louder than our faith. But the Lord is ...read more

When it comes to the Christian life, it doesn't take much. God can make a little go a long way.
I think it’s happened to all of us; we lay down intending to take a short nap, but we end up sleeping for hours. It only takes a little slumber for it to turn into a long sleep. 1.

An exhortation to be Christlike preached at a confirmation service
Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became ...read more

How rare is it to find a true friend willing to die for you? Is Jesus such a friend? Let's begin in 1 Samuel 20.
Are loyal friends hard to find? Are we loyal to our friends even to death? Is Jesus a true friend? Let’s look at a special friendship in 1 Samuel 20.
