    Through the Spirit, God sets us free and welcomes us into His family.

    Motherhood is a gift. It’s beautiful, it’s demanding, and it’s one of the clearest pictures we have of sacrificial love. Whether it’s through birth, adoption, foster care, mentorship, or spiritual motherhood—so many women have poured themselves out in ways that reflect the heart of God. And today, ...read more

     | 2,433 views

    Spiritual self-awareness as a believer in Jesus means living in tune with God. It does not mean seeing others with eyes, listening to others with ears, and then responding with a judgmental attitude based on what we see and hear. None of us are as righteous as we think we are.

    WHICH ONE AM I? LUKE 18:9-14 #SpiritualPride INTRODUCTION I was reading and listening in the Gospel of Luke the other week and a parable of Jesus smacked me right in the heart. I am going to share the parable with you today and see if it smacks you as well. The passage comes right after a ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 103 views

    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

    based on 3 ratings
     | 124 views

    God values faithfulness in small, unseen acts; our ordinary, everyday obedience matters deeply and shapes us for greater purposes in His kingdom.

    If you’ve ever held a mustard seed between your fingers, you know how small it is—hardly more than a speck. Yet tucked inside that tiny shell is a towering tree in the making. In the same way, God tucks holy possibility into small places: the quiet errand, the thank-you note, the picked-up towel, ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 96 views

    God’s promises are received by faith, not by our efforts; grace, not performance, secures our acceptance and hope in Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with lists—mental ledgers of what we did right and where we fell short. We carry them like heavy backpacks. We whisper, “Maybe if I try harder, God will be pleased.” And our hearts grow tired, tight, and tentative. Then we come to Romans 4 and hear a fresh breeze blow ...read more

    God calls us to faithfully serve and invest where we are, trusting that our everyday obedience and small acts matter deeply to Him.

    There are days when the King’s call feels as close as the breath in your lungs. Ordinary mornings. Familiar streets. A desk, a kitchen, a classroom. Yet heaven whispers, This is holy ground. Not a stage, not a spotlight—just the square of earth beneath your feet and the neighbors within your reach. ...read more

    God’s mercy meets us in our deepest failures; true repentance brings cleansing, renewal, and restored joy for those who honestly turn to Him.

    Some of us walked in today with a knot in the stomach and a stone in the soul. We know the sound of shame. It whispers in the quiet moments, it shouts in the sleepless hours. Guilt that gnaws. Regret that repeats. Failure that fogs the heart. If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling and wondered, Can ...read more

    Friends, welcome. There’s a candle God has placed within you—a steady, searching flame that glows in the quiet corners of your soul.

     | 78 views

    Jesus calls ordinary, flawed people to follow Him, offering transforming grace and acceptance that overcomes our failures and invites us into a new story.

    If you’ve ever felt passed over, mislabeled, or just plain tired, take heart. Jesus has a way of walking into ordinary places and turning them into holy ground. He steps into tax booths and kitchens, into cubicles and carpools, into hospital rooms and waiting rooms. He sees what others miss. He ...read more

    Jesus’ authoritative word brings transformation, silences evil, and calls us from passive belief to active, obedient faith that surrenders fully to Him.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us arrive carrying questions that kept us awake last night, some with a quiet ache we can’t quite name. Hear this hope: when Jesus speaks, storms settle, souls steady, and rooms grow still. There’s a holy hush that falls wherever He’s taken seriously. His words are not ...read more

    God’s goodness and mercy actively pursue us every day, assuring us of His constant presence, care, and unfailing love in every circumstance.

    If you’ve ever felt shadowed by worry, stalked by regret, or tailed by the long to-do list that never seems to shrink, you’re in good company. David knew what it meant to have enemies at his heels and storms at his door. And yet, out of that life he sings a line so surprising it feels like a ...read more

    We are called to shine Christ’s light through everyday acts of kindness and presence, bringing hope and God’s love to those around us.

    There are evenings when the sky looks like God tossed diamonds across black velvet. You step outside, breathe deep, and remember that the world is bigger than your worries. Streetlights glow. Porch lights flicker. A candle on a kitchen table warms a whole room. And into this very world—our ...read more
