Year’s end is a period of reflection and expectation. It is a time where people reflect on the events over the past year and look forward in expectation to what is to come. If we come to the opinion that our experience over this year is due to human work, good or bad luck, then there is ...read more

In the incident of the furious storm on the Sea of Galilee, the disciples learn something about dealing with fear through faith. Who is Jesus? He is God and is Lord of the storm.
Introduction: A. Let’s begin with two questions: Have you ever been really afraid of something? What is the scariest situation you have ever experienced? B. Let me share a terrifying experience that took place when I was very young, probably 14 or 15. 1. It wasn’t funny at the time, but our ...read more

If your week has felt heavy, if your heart has carried more sighs than songs, you are in the right place. You didn’t stumble in here by accident. The God who sees you also speaks to you, and His voice carries comfort that steadies the soul. He has a word for the weary and a lift for the lowly. He ...read more

Scripture: Luke 8:19-25
Denomination: Brethren
We are deeply flawed yet deeply loved; God’s law reveals our need, and only Christ’s grace can heal and restore us.
If you walked in today feeling a little weary, worried, or worn-out, you’re in good company. We bring our Mondays and our midnights, our sighs and our secrets, into the same sanctuary. Some of us carry guilt that nags like a dull ache. Others carry questions that won’t sit down. And a few of us ...read more
Scripture: Romans 3:9-20
Topics: Sin, Humanity
God invites our weary, honest selves to find true rest in His presence, offering comfort and strength for every burden we carry.
There’s a hush that comes when a roomful of tired hearts hears a kind voice. I believe that’s what this moment can be—a hush for hurried souls, a pause for people who have given their best and still feel thin, a holy breath for those who woke up weary. Some of us are carrying backpacks no one else ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 11:28

That’s the holy heartbeat of the church: arms open, hearts open, doors open. In a world quick to label and slow to listen, the family of God is called to be the place ...read more
Scripture: Romans 15:7-13
Topics: Joy, Hope
True acceptance with God comes not from self-righteousness or comparison, but from humble confession and receiving the mercy and love found in Jesus Christ.
Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a scoreboard in our heart. You know the scoreboard I mean—the quiet tally of how we’re doing compared to others, the inner itch to be seen as enough, the nervous need to be noticed and approved. We measure our worth by the week we had, the ...read more
Scripture: Luke 18:9-14
Topics: Humility, Exaltation, Self-Righteousness
God works through ordinary courage, presence, and compassion, weaving deliverance and hope even in our most fragile and uncertain moments.
Some stories slip into our souls like a lullaby. Exodus 2 is one of them. We can almost hear the hush of a mother’s whisper, see the ripple of the Nile, feel the tremble of a sister’s hope. A woven basket, a watchful girl, and a princess with tear-touched eyes—God pens redemption with reeds and ...read more
Scripture: Exodus 2:1-9
Topics: Motherhood, Daughters, Relationships
God brings peace and order to our lives and church, inviting us to trust His presence and follow His clear, simple guidance with settled hearts.
If you walked in today with a heart that feels hurried, with thoughts that scatter like leaves in a gust of wind, you’re in good company. Life has a way of turning up the volume. Deadlines stack up. Conversations get clipped. Sleep runs thin. And then Sunday comes, and we find ourselves in the ...read more
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 14:33
Topics: Clarity, Christ
The sermon invites us to slow down, release control, and find peace by trusting God’s presence and sovereignty amid life’s noise and anxiety.
Friends, some weeks feel like living in a wind tunnel. The headlines howl. The phone hums. The calendar crowds. Even our prayers can sound like hurried headlines—fast, faint, fragmented. And yet, in the middle of the noise, God offers a chair in a quiet corner, a deep breath for a weary chest, a ...read more
Scripture: Psalm 46:10

Scripture: Psalm 135:5-7
Denomination: Baptist
Have you seen Jesus lately? Mark’s amazing witness reveals a complex Messiah. Jesus in our world is both comforting and disturbing.
Read or quote Mark 6. It is tempting in this study to jump to Matthew and Luke for a broader perspective on these events recorded in Mark. I have purposely resisted doing that so far, so that Mark can tell the gospel to us himself and we can see Jesus with his witness. What happens when we ...read more
