    God places us where we are for a purpose, offering courage and guidance in uncertain times when we seek Him with prayerful trust and obedience.

    Good morning, friends. I’m glad you’re here. Some of us arrive today with a quiet ache, some with a smile that’s doing its best to hold steady, and some with a burden that feels bigger than our own strength. You are seen. You are welcome. And you are not alone. Have you ever felt cornered by a ...read more

    Oliver Cromwell asked for a portrait “warts and all.” Paul writes 1 Corinthians the same way—seeing the flaws but starting with grace. In 1:1–9 we’ll see our called identity and God’s faithfulness to sustain us.

    Today we’re going to be in the first 9 verses of 1 Corinthians. While studying these verses, I came across a story that I’d like to share with all of you. Oliver Cromwell It’s a story of Oliver Cromwell. If you’re unaware of who he is, I’ll give you an extremely brief summary: he was a political ...read more

    James describes "pure religion" in very practical terms that are easy to understand.

    Pure Religion James 1:19-27 What is religion? Isn’t it amazing how we can use a word every day of our life and have no idea what it means? “Religion” is one of those words. It’s like the ad in the newspaper “Dog for sale.” When we read that ad, what kind of dog comes to our mind? Chances are ...read more

    The need is great for a practical demonstration of the Law of Kindness in the church.

    THE LAW OF KINDNESS Ephesians 4:31 – 32 Let all bitterness and all passionate feeling, all anger and loud insulting language, be unknown among you—and also every kind of malice.

    These verses put our hearts in the dock. God wants to cast out earthly unspiritual wisdom. He wants us full of his heavenly, considerate, merciful wisdom.
