    God’s constant presence brings hope and steadiness in our darkest, most anxious moments, reminding us that His light always shines and overcomes.

    Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache we can’t quite name. Sleep came late. Worry came early. Headlines are heavy, homes feel hurried, and hearts can feel hollowed out by the constant ache of a hard week. We carry questions to our pews: Will the light hold? Will hope last? Does God really ...read more

    The Light That Overcomes All Darkness- Introduction

    Contributed by Gary Tate on Mar 6, 2024
     | 994 views

    This I believe can help those who have or are struggling with their relationships. As a grown man now, I understand I had been living within “darkness”. I did not understand until ten years ago I was walking around being held captive by feelings of abandonment and a “orphan spirit”.

    I find that we all want to understand what we can do when facing what seems to be at times an onslaught against us mentally and Spiritually. This can be true for those who have dealt with the thought of not being loved, as I did as a young boy. In my situation then as my “birth Father” was never ...read more

    What we’re trying to do is push back the darkness.

    So, Matthew says that, “when Jesus heard that John [the Baptist] had been arrested, he withdrew….” What does that tell us? It tells us – doesn’t it? – that there is a force of darkness at work in this world. And we know what that means, of course. It means there ...read more
