When we think of a call, we often think of a full-time vocation. This message looks at what it means to be called to the Marketplace.
When you hear that someone has been called to something or has answered a call on their life, who do you think of? A preacher? A missionary? Maybe a doctor, a nurse or a teacher. There seem to be certain professions that we feel particular folks are called to. For many people, a call means that ...read more

Anxiety seems to be a problem today for both the saved and the unsaved. While we can understand it might be a problem with the unsaved, we have a difficult time understanding why it is a problem with the saved.
WHY IS ANXIETY SUCH A PROBLEM TODAY? Someone printed these words under a tranquil scene on a calendar: "Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday." We do spend a lot of time worrying about tomorrow. So many in our society insist on trying to carry the… • Burdens of the ...read more

Our text today is found in that part of the book of Jeremiah that many people refer to as the Book of Consolation or the Book or Comfort. Chapters 30 and 31 stand out in the book of Jeremiah because they offer something completely different from what he normally preaches.
Behold, Days Are Coming Jeremiah 31:27-34 You know, the life of an OT prophet was not an easy life.

How Prayer Changes Us Before It Changes Anything Else. Prayer is not controlling outcomes but aligning with God’s heart, trusting Him fully, and joining His transforming work in people’s lives.
There are phrases that sound almost sacrilegious in a prayer meeting. Not curse words. Just sentences that don’t fit the script Christian culture hands us. And the moment they come out of your mouth, the atmosphere shifts. Forks freeze above plates. Eyes widen. Someone nearly inhales a dinner ...read more

Jesus grants authority not for control but for compassion; strength flows through humility, and true greatness is found at the basin of service.
There are few sights more moving than real authority wrapped in humility. It’s rare. We’re accustomed to power that postures, rank that separates, and leadership that needs to be noticed. Every now and then, we glimpse the beauty of someone who is both strong and gentle—someone who knows exactly ...read more

Grace
Good morning, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ.

This concept, this divine gift, ...read more

Topics: Growing In Grace
God’s grace meets us in our weakness, offering love, strength, and acceptance, empowering us to face life’s struggles with hope and courage.
If grace had a face, I think it would be smiling at you today. Not a plastic grin, but the kind that crinkles the eyes and warms the room. The kind you long to see when the week has been heavy, the bank account thin, and your heart even thinner. Maybe you woke up with that familiar knot of worry. ...read more
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9
Topics: Grace
God gives us a new identity in Christ, freeing us from old labels and shame, and calling us beloved, forgiven, and truly new.
There’s a name tag on the table for every one of us. Maybe it’s not paper and ink, maybe it’s old memories and new mistakes, report cards and résumés, whispers and headlines. Labels stick.

God sees and values our hidden faithfulness, works through our weakness, and calls us to trust His authority and power through prayerful obedience.
Some of us know the quiet corners of life—the cubicle where no one notices, the kitchen where you serve with a smile, the classroom where faith is a whisper. You wonder, Does God see me here?
