    Jesus personally seeks and transforms the overlooked, offering immediate grace and acceptance that leads to genuine change and restored identity through His love.

    Some of us walked in today feeling unseen, unheard, and maybe even unwanted.

    True acceptance with God comes not through self-righteousness or comparison, but through humble confession and receiving His mercy offered in Jesus Christ.

    Some stories slip into the room and sit right beside us. This is one of them. It whispers to the weary, “You can put down the mask,” and it nudges the proud, “You can put down the measuring stick.” Picture it: two people walk into God’s house—one with a polished prayer and a proud posture, the ...read more

    Friends, have you noticed how even the faintest glow can calm a room?

It takes up residence in dark places and changes what we can see ...read more
