The apostle Paul employed a farming illustration to explain how our heavenly bodies will be different and so much better than our earthly bodies. Consider the difference between the seed that is planted and the plant that results.
A. Today, I want to start with the story of a young boy who came home from worship and Sunday school with a question for his mom: “Is it true we come from dust and after we die, we return to dust?” 1. His mother said, “That’s right, son. Does that concern you?” 2. The boy hesitated, but then ...read more
Scripture: Philippians 3:21, 2 Corinthians 5:10-11
Denomination: Christian/Church Of Christ
Trusting God’s timing in every season, we learn to wait with faith, knowing He is present and working even when we cannot see it.
Some of us came in today with calendars covered in scribbles and hearts heavy with questions. The clock keeps ticking, but the answer seems late. A prayer hangs in the air. A door stays shut. A dream feels shelved. We know God is good, we sing that God is faithful, yet our watches rarely match His ...read more
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:11
Topics: God's Work, Daily Life
Trusting Jesus with even the smallest faith leads to powerful results, as God values humble obedience over impressive displays of strength or ability.

True worship happens when our hearts and minds align with God’s truth, allowing authentic praise regardless of our changing feelings or circumstances.
Friends, pull up a chair and take a deep breath. Some of us walked in today with hearts humming like a racing engine, others with batteries barely blinking.

Scripture: John 4:24
Topics: Emotion, Faith
God’s approval, not others’ opinions, defines our worth; even when those closest doubt us, Jesus understands and affirms our value through the cross.
Some of the hardest headwinds we face often blow from our own back porch. It’s funny how life works: strangers may applaud you, acquaintances may admire you, but the folks who know your middle name and saw your backyard mistakes can struggle to see God’s handiwork in you. They remember the messy ...read more
Scripture: Mark 6:4
Topics: Prophet, Honor
God offers deep, transformative grace—restoring brokenness, writing His law on our hearts, and forgiving our sins completely through the new covenant in Christ.
Some days feel like a slow sunrise after a long night. You wake up with yesterday’s worries still whispering, with old guilt tugging at your sleeve, with the quiet question that won’t quit: Can things really change? Is there mercy for what’s been messed up, mendedness for what’s been mangled? If ...read more

Through union with Christ’s death and resurrection, believers receive a new identity, freedom from sin, and the power to live transformed lives.
Friend, take a deep breath. The God who raised Jesus Christ from the dead is nearer than your next heartbeat. He is not reluctant. He is not distant. He is ready—ready to speak life where you’ve heard only the rustle of regret, ready to steady trembling hands and tired hearts. I think of a ...read more
