As we continue to pursue the "true religion" that James encourages us to embody, we come face to face with a war that we face. Sure, there are battles with culture, but this war is within.
One of my favorite bands is the group “Switchfoot.” While I like their sound (it is unique and often very easily identifiable), what I like most is their lyrics. Switchfoot is a band that is made up of Christians. Their lyrics and songs have made their way onto both Christian and secular charts ...read more

Denomination: Brethren
God seeks ordinary people willing to pray and stand in the gap, using their faithfulness to bring hope, healing, and change to a broken world.
Some of the greatest moments in the Bible begin with God looking for a person. Not a celebrity. Not a committee. A person. A shepherd with a sling. A teenage girl with a “yes.” A fisherman with a net. Heaven leans over the balcony and asks, “Who will stand? Who will say yes? Who will carry My heart ...read more
Scripture: Ezekiel 22:30
Topics: Intercession, God's Agents
Knowing God personally gives us strength to persevere faithfully through weariness and opposition, trusting His grace to sustain and complete the work in us.
Some of us walked in today with tired feet and a tender heart. You’ve been faithful in the little things. You’ve shown up when the scoreboard didn’t seem to change. Maybe you’ve been praying for a prodigal, cheering on a spouse, or steadying a weary mind in the middle of the night. You’re here. And ...read more

Friends, gather your hearts and breathe in this grace-soaked moment. Jesus tells a story that sounds like the evening wind moving through vines—soft at first, then strong enough to stir us awake. It’s a story about ownership and oversight, about the Owner’s kindness and the tenants’ choices. It’s ...read more

Topics: Wicked Tenants, Parable
God lovingly exposes our hidden flaws to awaken us, inviting us to repentance and restoration through His grace, not shame, so we may return to Him.
Some mornings the mirror tells the truth better than our memories. You’re brushing your teeth and you notice a new gray hair. It didn’t ask permission to arrive. It just showed up, whispering, “Time is moving. Pay attention.” Gray hairs have a way of doing that—gently alerting us to what we have ...read more

God’s grace offers healing and new life to discouraged, sinful hearts—not by our efforts, but by looking in faith to Christ, our only remedy.
Some of us walked in today with sand in our souls. The week felt long, the road uneven. You’ve prayed, but the words sounded thin. You’ve tried to keep a sunny outlook, but the clouds rolled in anyway. Discouragement can be a quiet snake in the grass—one nip of cynicism, a bite of bitterness, and ...read more

Topics: Redemption, Christ
Stay focused on God’s calling, resisting distractions and lesser pursuits, so your life’s work aligns with what truly matters in God’s eyes.
Some weeks feel like a parade of interruptions. Phones ping, pressures pile, promises pull, and before long our attention drifts like a leaf on a windy day. You set out to do the thing God has put in your hand—raise a child, love your spouse, serve your neighbor, finish that assignment, shepherd ...read more
Scripture: Nehemiah 6:3
Topics: Great Work, Purpose, Focus
The sermon urges us to embrace God’s Word even when it challenges us, reminding us true faith means letting God, not ourselves, define truth.
Some words woo us with comfort; others confront us with change. When the Lord speaks, His words carry weight that wakes us up. We sense His sentences brushing the dust off our Bibles and the haze off our hearts. Sometimes the pages feel prickly, passages puzzle us, and precepts press against our ...read more
Scripture: Hosea 8:12
Topics: God's Word, Importance
True satisfaction and joyful obedience are found only in knowing God and delighting in His presence, rather than seeking fulfillment in the world’s empty offerings.
If we could sit together around a kitchen table, you’d notice the warmth of the oven and the smell of fresh bread. Plates set, cups full, chairs pulled close. That’s the picture in my mind when I think of what God offers His people: a table where the hungry are welcomed, where the thirsty are ...read more
Scripture: Deuteronomy 28:47-48
Topics: Worship, Feasting

Friends, grace to you. Set your heart at ease for a moment. Take a breath. You are seen by the God who knows every heartbeat and still calls you by name. There are days when our hands look clean, yet our hearts feel cluttered—weighted by worries, hurried choices, and half-kept promises. We all know ...read more

Abiding in Christ transforms our weariness into fruitful living, as we rest in His love, receive His care, and reflect His life to others.

He talks to us in pictures we can feel between our fingers: vines and branches, sap and seasons, blossoms and baskets ...read more

Promises that sound pleasant but leave you empty. Maybe your week has felt that way. Maybe your home has heard more noise than nourishment, more ...read more

Topics: Good Life, Virtue
Trusting in God, not ourselves or others, anchors our hearts and brings lasting strength, hope, and fruitfulness even in life’s hardest seasons.
Some of us walked in today with a smile that covers a storm. Bills stack up like bricks. Family tensions tug at your heart like a riptide. News cycles churn, and your soul feels thin. You’re doing your best, yet your best feels brittle. Have you ever wondered, “Where do I place my weight when the ...read more
Scripture: Jeremiah 17:5-10
Topics: Trust, Curses
God’s grace meets us in our sin and need, offering true freedom and acceptance through faith in Jesus, not our own efforts.
Some of us arrived today feeling like life has been a long hallway of closed doors. You knocked on the door of good intentions and it stayed shut.
