    As believers, we are encouraged to remain steadfast and committed in our faith through every trial and storm that life may bring. We are anchored by Jesus, our great hope, salvation, and savior.

    Today, we're gonna talk about anchors: those big, heavy things that keep ships from drifting away. We're gonna see how anchors can teach us something important about our faith and our relationship with Jesus. Our main verse for today is Hebrews 6:19, which says: "We have this hope as an anchor for ...read more

    We all face challenges and burdens that can leave us feeling weary and hopeless. But Jesus offers us rest and hope. He invites us to exchange our heavy burdens for his light yoke of grace. This rest is best experienced in community, where we can support and carry one another's burdens.

    We all need hope, especially after the kind of year we've had. And guess what? That hope is found in Jesus. Life can be a real drag sometimes, right? School, chores, sports, drama... it can all pile up and leave us feeling wiped out. But Jesus gets it. He says, "Come to me, all you who are weary ...read more

    When our sin is exposed, we can feel broken and ashamed. But Jesus offers forgiveness and a fresh start. We can find hope in Him.

    We've all messed up, right? We've all made choices that led to some kind of brokenness. Maybe it's a friendship that's gone sour, or you've messed up at school, or you're having a tough time at home.

    Jesus is not afraid of our doubts and meets us where we are. He invites us to seek evidence and find hope in Him.

    Today, we're going to be talking about how even if you're tired, broken, feeling like an underdog, or even if you're doubting, there's hope for you. You know, doubt is like this balloon I have here. It starts small, but as we feed it with our fears and uncertainties, it gets bigger and bigger until ...read more

    When Your Soul Talks Back

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 64 views

    When your soul talks back with despair, answer it with Spirit-filled faith — stir up the gift and praise your God again.

    There are moments in life when faith feels like it’s lost its soundtrack. You still know the words, you still come to church, you still bow your head for prayer — but inside, something has gone quiet. You’re mouthing the lines of faith, yet your soul isn’t singing along. That’s what Psalm 42 feels ...read more
