God’s presence and promise give us courage to face opposition and uncertainty, reminding us that prayer shapes our lives and God stands with us always.
Some weeks feel like a wrestling match. You wake up with a knot in your stomach, step into the day with a brave face, and still hear the whispers of worry: What if this doesn’t work? What if they don’t understand? What if I’m not enough? You’ve felt the headwinds—critics at the office, tension at ...read more

Friends, some days feel like valley mornings. The ground is dewy, the air is cool, and yet a shout echoes across the field—a taunt that rattles your resolve. Bills that won’t budge. A diagnosis that won’t back down. A regret that won’t release its grip. We know the scene. We’ve heard the voice. And ...read more

Friends, there’s a line in one of the smallest letters in the Bible that feels like a cup of cold water on a hot day.

Scripture: 3 John 1:2
Topics: Prosperity
Trusting God in seasons of waiting renews our strength, turning weariness into endurance and hope, as faith refuses to panic amid uncertainty.
Some of us walked in today with a wait in our bones. We’ve stood in waiting rooms, stared at silent phones, counted ceiling tiles in the midnight hours. We’ve waited for a call back from a doctor, a prodigal to come home, a door to open, a cloud to move. Life can feel like a long line at the DMV of ...read more

There’s a holy hush that falls over a room when courage walks in. Not the loud kind that shouts to be seen, but the quiet courage that prays in whispers and stands when knees are weak. We know this courage. We’ve asked for it in hospital hallways. We’ve reached for it at midnight when the house is ...read more
Scripture: Esther 4:16
Topics: Perseverance, Faith
The sermon urges us to notice others’ struggles and actively support one another with practical love, reflecting Jesus by carrying each other’s burdens.
Friends, welcome. If we could see the invisible backpacks in this room, we’d see them bulging. Some are stuffed with worry about kids or parents. Some sag with bills that don’t match the paycheck. Some are crammed with grief that doesn’t clock out at night. We smile, we sing, we shake hands—but ...read more

Some of us walked in today smiling on the outside and sore on the inside. You know that quiet ache that doesn’t announce itself but lingers like a shadow—fatigue that coffee can’t fix, fear that keeps whispering, “This is just how it will be,” and shame that makes you want to blend into the ...read more

God uses ordinary people’s courage and compassion to lift others from life’s pits, reminding us to act rightly and help those in need now.
Some days feel like pits, don’t they? Not just potholes in the road, but deep, echoing cisterns of disappointment, decisions, and delays. You pray and the sky seems quiet. You plan and the ground gives way. You stand in the middle of a week that you never wanted and wonder, How do I get out of ...read more

Trusting Jesus brings peace amid life’s storms, as He prepares a true home for us and invites us to reflect His welcoming love to others.

Isn’t it something how a house can feel like a hug? Smells of supper in the air, a chair pulled out just for you, ...read more

God is our ever-present, unfailing Helper and Keeper, offering constant care and strength amid life’s uncertainties, inviting us to trust Him completely.
