    Real Repentance

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Nov 7, 2021
     | 2,646 views

    Repentance means change. What was I doing before I repented? What kind of life was I leading before? And how will things be different now? That’s not a one-time question, but it’s asked day after day. What shall we do? We bear fruit, for the glory of the God who saved us.

    It’s a great privilege, being a minister of God’s Word. Yet preaching is a difficult job. What makes it hard is not really the years of study beforehand. It’s not the many hours spent every week writing sermons. It’s not even getting over the fear of public speaking. Preaching is difficult because ...read more

    It is so easy to do the right thing the wrong way. This is especially true of church going people or Christians. We want to do the right thing but we don’t always do it the right way. When we see someone doing something wrong it may be right to say tha

    Jesus talks about asking, seeking, and knocking. It's all about the privilege that we have to make our requests known unto God through prayer.

Chapters five, six, and seven of Matthew are Jesus delivered sermons on the mount on the northern coast of the Sea of Galilee. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For ...read more

    Message 8 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

    If you could use one word to describe the current state of the world around us, what would it be? Sad? Troubled? Crazy? If you chose the word Peaceful, I may use the word Drunk to describe you! I think we would all agree that the past few years have been a difficult season, and so here’s the word ...read more

    Trusting Jesus in life’s storms means refusing to panic, fixing our eyes on Him, and finding courage and peace in His presence above our fears.

    If you’ve ever stood in a kitchen at midnight staring at a stack of bills, or sat in a hospital parking lot and felt your heart pound, you know what it is to feel like a thin boat on a thick sea. The wind rises, the waves talk loud, and worries whip across the surface of the soul like whitecaps on ...read more

     | 70 views

    God’s generous presence and blessing are available to us through prayer, inviting us to trust, receive, and live confidently under His open heaven.

    Some mornings feel like the sky sits low and gray, as if our prayers push against a ceiling of clouds. Bills stack, hearts ache, and strength thins out around the edges. And then we read a line of Scripture and it’s as if God opens a window and lets a fresh breeze run through the room. That’s what ...read more

    Persistent prayer matters because God hears, cares, and responds in His perfect timing, inviting us to trust Him even when answers seem delayed.

    Some prayers are born in bright rooms with balloons and birthday cake. Others are born at 2:13 a.m., when the house is quiet, the questions are loud, and the pillow is wet. Some prayers feel like sprinting—fast, full of faith. Others feel like limping—slow, sore, and short on strength. If you’ve ...read more

    Prayer is our refuge in anxiety, inviting God’s peace and strength to guard our hearts and renew us amid life’s worries and uncertainties.

    Some of us walked in today with a knot in the stomach and a weight on the chest. 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

    God’s presence transforms His house and people, inviting us to deeper prayer, reverence, and dedication as we become a welcoming home for Him.

    There is a hush that falls over the soul when you remember that God makes a home among His people. Not a far-off fortress, not a sterile sanctuary, but a home—where His name rests, where His eyes watch, where His heart abides. Think about that.

    The sermon calls us to sincere generosity, prayer, and forgiveness, rooted in God’s love, seeking His approval over others, and living as beloved children.

    Some of us arrived today with hearts that feel hurried, hands that feel heavy, and hopes that feel thin. The week may have been loud, and your soul may feel a little quieted by weariness. If that’s you, you’re in good company. Jesus meets people like us—people with a pair of tired eyes and a prayer ...read more
