Trusting Jesus with even the smallest faith leads to powerful results, as God values humble obedience over impressive displays of strength or ability.
If you’ve ever sat at a kitchen table with a bill you can’t pay, a diagnosis you can’t fix, or a relationship you can’t untangle, you’ve likely whispered the disciples’ prayer: "Lord, increase our faith." It’s a simple sentence with a grand ache. We know the feeling of being stretched thin, of ...read more

Church family, have you noticed how a simple sentence at the right time can steady your soul?

They remind your heart that ...read more

Worry whispers at 3 a.m., bills pile on the counter, diagnoses arrive in sterile envelopes, and the what-ifs line up like storm clouds on the horizon. Our hearts try to outrun our thoughts, and our thoughts try to ...read more

Topics: Jesus-Reflectors, Change, Living
True peace and acceptance come not from self-righteousness, but from humble, honest confession and receiving God’s mercy through Jesus Christ.
Some of us came in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Calendars are crammed, minds are noisy, and hearts carry the kind of weariness you can’t quite name. You’ve been faithful, you’ve been trying, and you’re hoping heaven hears. Others of us slipped in quietly, feeling a little out of place, ...read more
Scripture: Luke 18:9-14

God’s steadfast love transforms us, enabling us to extend patient, kind, and honest love to others, even in difficult relationships and situations.
If you’ve ever stood at the sink late at night replaying a hard conversation, wondering whether love can last through another week of deadlines, disappointments, or disrespect, you are in good company. Hearts get bruised. Words get sharp. People we care about act like porcupines. And if we’re ...read more

This study was done such a long time ago I am not sure what other sources was used but I thought it was interesting for the studies ...read more

God meets us in our hidden, ordinary places, calls us by His name, and transforms our weakness into strength through His presence and grace.
Some days feel like threshing wheat in a winepress—hidden, cramped, and far from ideal. You’re just trying to get by, head down, doing what needs to be done, praying the storm will pass.
