    God’s constant presence brings comfort, strength, and help in every circumstance, assuring us that we are never alone or unsupported, no matter our struggles.

    Some mornings our hearts wake up to a thunderstorm that the forecast never saw. The headlines hiss. The bills pile up. The diagnosis calls your name. The calendar feels crowded, yet the soul feels empty. Parents wonder if they’re doing enough. Singles wonder if they’ll always eat dinner with the ...read more

    True spiritual fruitfulness comes when we surrender our lives to God, trusting Him to bring new life and abundance from our acts of faith.

    There’s a wonder in the way God works that often begins small and quiet, like a seed resting in the palm of your hand. If you’ve ever planted one, you know the hush of that moment. You press it into the soil, cover it with a thin blanket of earth, and walk away with a mixture of faith and ...read more

    When we feel exhausted and overwhelmed, God invites us to trust Him, wait on Him, and receive renewed strength for each day.

    Some of us walked in today with a quiet question humming beneath the surface: How much longer can I keep this up? The calendar is crowded, the to-do list grows fangs, and sleep feels like a stranger. Parents, professionals, students, caregivers—such faithful folks—yet even you can feel thin at the ...read more

    Jesus, the Good Shepherd, personally calls us by name, offering true life, guidance, and security amid life’s noise and distractions.

    Some weeks feel like standing in a crowded barn. So many voices. So much noise. Phones buzz. News churns. Deadlines demand. You find yourself wondering, Does anyone hear me? Does anyone know my name? The pages of John 10 open like a quiet pasture on a loud day. They whisper, Yes. The Shepherd does. ...read more

    God welcomes honest, humble prayers from needy hearts; true prayer is not performance, but sincere confession that receives mercy and transforms us by His grace.

    If your heart is tired and your prayers feel thin, you’re in the right place. The Lord welcomes real people with real needs and real words. He is not looking for polish; He is listening for honesty. He is not impressed by our resumes; He is moved by our repentance. We’ve all had those moments—hands ...read more

    The Lord has been of late speaking to me about obedience. You hear a lot today about hearing the voice of God. The (3) voices you hear, you, God and the devil. Classes, seminars, etc. and etc. Personally I don’t think we have any trouble hearing. I “know”

    This misquote is usually spoken out of kindness, but it can cause great confusion and guilt. God WILL sometimes allow you to suffer more than you can bear--but that’s okay, because His grace is sufficient!

    INTRODUCTION The phrase “God helps those who help themselves” is often uttered with a harsh tone of condescension, but not so with the statement, “God won’t put more on you than you can bear.”1 These words are usually spoken out of deep concern and compassion. There is no criticism implied in this ...read more
