    The healing of the crippled man showed that Peter and John believe in the presence of Christ, His power and the authority of His Name.

    Acts 3:1-8, 12-16 - The Living Christ What Peter and John did was remarkable and out-of-the-ordinary. Their actions tell us at least THREE realities: (1) They believe that Christ has risen and is with them. No one would invoke the name of a dead man and expect something to happen.

    I remember the first suit I ever bought for myself. It was 1988, and I was working at Men’s Wearhouse—so I had access to the good stuff, not Hart, Shafner, and Marx, but high quality suits. I picked out a charcoal gray, double-breasted suit with chalk line pinstripes. Sharp. Classic. It was a $300 ...read more

     | 185 views

    God gives us a new identity in Christ, freeing us from old labels and shame, and calling us beloved, forgiven, and truly new.

    There’s a name tag on the table for every one of us. Maybe it’s not paper and ink, maybe it’s old memories and new mistakes, report cards and résumés, whispers and headlines. Labels stick. Some feel like tattoos. Others like Post-its that refuse to peel away. Have you noticed how fast the world ...read more

    God’s grace alone justifies us, not our performance; we are called to live boldly and freely by faith in Christ’s finished work.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a knot in our stomach. We love Jesus. We long to please Him. Yet we bump into old habits, heavy expectations, and the quiet pressure to perform. We want to get it right. We want to be faithful. And in the middle of it all, we wonder: Does God ...read more

    Following Jesus means trusting God’s timing, standing firm amid misunderstanding and opposition, and finding courage to remain faithful despite pressure from others.

    If you’ve ever felt the sting of skepticism, the squeeze of expectations, or the chill of criticism, you’ll feel the temperature of John 7. Picture the scene: the streets of Jerusalem hum with the Feast of Booths. Families build shelters, memories mingle with meals, and whispers chase rumors ...read more

    Whole-life worship means daily surrendering ourselves to God, allowing His grace to transform our minds, relationships, and service into a living offering.

    Family, can we pause for a holy breath? The kind you take when the noise quiets, the to-do list loosens its grip, and you remember that God really is as kind as Jesus says He is.
