    The sermon urges us to notice and compassionately respond to those in need at our gates, opening our lives and tables with urgent, Christlike love.

    Some stories slip in quietly and sit down beside you. Others knock at the front door and ask to be heard. Jesus tells one that stands at the gate. We can see him, can’t we? A rich man with linens crisp as a spring morning. A poor man with sores that sting like salt. A gate between them. A table ...read more

Have you ever felt unseen in a swirl of noise, pushed to the back while questions press to the front? Then you’ll feel ...read more

    Gratitude opens our hearts to God’s presence, transforming ordinary moments and burdens into opportunities for praise, hope, and deeper relationship with Him.

    Some of us walked in today with full hearts; some with heavy ones. Either way, here you are, and here God is—nearer than the breath you just took. Picture an old, sturdy gate swinging open. Hear the hinges creak a welcome. On the other side? Not a cold courtyard, but the warm smile of a Father who ...read more

    Through prayer, God will open a window of opportunity for us to work past our stresses, our conflicted feelings, and even our sins and shortcomings.

    Life is tough. Am I going to get any argument about that? The philosopher Thomas Hobbes said that human life was solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. Wow! Not the kind of stuff we expect on Sunday morning. Supposed to be all, “Praise the Lord”! But deep down, lots of people do ...read more
