God’s presence makes the impossible possible; when we reach our limits, we can trust His power and faithfulness to carry us through every challenge.
Some of us walked in today with a tight throat and a tired heart. The week has been long. The bills stack up, the headlines hit hard, and the calendar doesn’t care that your energy is on empty. You’ve prayed for the prodigal until your words feel worn. You’ve watched the doctor’s face for good news ...read more

If we were to look at Hebrews 11:1 it is a A Journey Beyond Sight In every human heart lies a yearning—for meaning, for justice, for hope, for something more than what we see with our eyes. We search for certainty in a world that offers little of it. We long for stability yet live amid constant ...read more
Scripture: Hebrews 11:1
Have you ever walked into a room and immediately wondered, “Do I belong here?”
A lot of people today walk into churches wondering: “Would I be welcome here?” “If they knew my past… my struggles… my doubts… would I still belong?” Sadly, sometimes the Church has made it harder than it should be to answer confidently, “Yes, you belong.” This isn’t a new problem. In Acts 15, the ...read more

Scripture: Matthew 5:37
The first organization God ordained, even before the church, was that of marriage and the family. All Scripture references are from the NASB.
Just what is it that we believe? Could you tell someone what it is you believe? In past messages we have discussed our believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We have talked about how we need salvation and cannot save ourselves and that Jesus is the only way. We believe ...read more

This sermon teaches that our trials are like a refiner's fire, designed by God to prove and purify our faith—which is more precious than gold—so that it will result in praise, honor, and glory at Christ's return.
Introduction: The Purpose of the "Need Be" In our last study, we faced the difficult paradox that we can "greatly rejoice" even while we are "in heaviness." We learned that our trials are temporary—just for a season—and that they are purposeful—there is a "need ...read more

Psalms 46:10, Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Sometimes we tend to rely on ourselves before trusting in the Lord.
