    Faithful, unseen service and prayer in everyday life have eternal significance, as God values and uses every act of obedience for His lasting purposes.

    Some of us come in today with calloused hands and tired hearts. You’ve folded laundry at midnight, sat beside hospital beds, raised kids and grandkids, held a flashlight while someone else turned the wrench. You’ve prayed through storms and sung through tears. And maybe, just maybe, you’ve ...read more

    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.

    When fear and challenges overwhelm, our greatest response is to seek God in prayer, trusting Him to fight our battles and bring peace.

    Maybe you woke up this morning with a knot in your stomach and a question in your heart: How am I going to face this?

    When life falls apart, faith refuses to panic, seeks God’s strength and guidance, and trusts Him to restore what’s been lost.

    Some days smell like smoke. The kind of day when you pull into the driveway and something feels off. The porch light is on, but peace is off. The phone rings, the doctor calls, the boss texts, the door closes—and your heart drops. The room looks the same, but everything has changed. Ashes in the ...read more

    Jesus lovingly calls us to reject complacency, pursue genuine relationship with Him, and value what truly matters over worldly success or self-sufficiency.

    There’s a kindness in the way Jesus speaks to us. He doesn’t holler from across the street; He knocks at the front door. He doesn’t shove His way into our living rooms; He stands and waits, like the Friend you can trust with the tender truth. You can almost hear the hinge creak as you reach for the ...read more

    Some mornings feel heavier than others, don’t they? The alarm sounds, the headlines scream, the to-do list grows, and your heart whispers, “Lord, I could use some help here.” You’re not asking for fireworks. You’re asking for a Father.
