    Every healthy relationship we have in life requires us to show up! We need to make a proactive effort if we want to grow closer to someone. This story about Zacchaeus shows us that our relationship with Jesus can also benefit from doing what is necessary to move closer to Him.

    When was the last time that you just sat in the silence and waited on God? Every day we are bombarded By noise. In fact, scientists are starting to study what different types of noise do to individuals. If you were to go to my office at work and walk through the behavioral health hallway, ...read more

    God wants us to live in the light, not in darkness.

    Some animals especially those in the ocean floor live in darkness. Some of them even do not have eyes since they live in darkness. Today we are going to talk about living in light. When we go outside in the sun and come back to shade, it takes some time for our eyes to get adjusted to the shade. ...read more

    Many people want to see changes taking place in their lives. The usual prescription given today is, "Just try harder!" But that doesn’t produce true, genuine, lasting life-transformation. In James 4:6-10 James teaches how God changes a person.

    Scripture I once read a Peanuts comic strip where Lucy told Charlie Brown that she would hold the football for him to kick. But when he ran up to kick the ball, she pulled it away. Charlie Brown went flying through the air and fell flat on his back. Well, one day Lucy went up to Charlie Brown and ...read more

    The sermon emphasizes the vital role of encouragement within the church, showing how our words and presence strengthen one another through life’s challenges.

    Church family, have you noticed how a simple sentence at the right time can steady your soul? A text that says, “I’m praying for you.” A hand on the shoulder with a whisper, “You’re not alone.” Those small syllables become like shelter in a storm. They warm a cold day. They remind your heart that ...read more

    Do you face opposition in your life? Does it discourage you? Listen to Paul’s words of encouragement to a discouraged pastor and find hope.

    Have you ever been ready just to give up - especially when it comes to serving the Lord.

    The question is, “Are you a missionary or a mission field?” Acts 1:9NLT After saying this, he was taken up into a cloud while they were watching, and they could no longer see him. Gravity lose its hold on Jesus.

    Israel had an area of defeat -- Jericho. They could never advance in their walk with God until they overcame that obstacle. But it was impossible for them to conquer, on their own. We too have Jerichos that have held us back, but with God they'll fall

    Life was pretty good in Sardis. The lack of opposition may have given them a sense of security and lulled them to sleep. Since the world was relatively nice to them, they may have grown comfortable in their relationship with the pagan world around them.

    Waking Up Is Hard to Do Revelation 3:1-6 "To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to ...read more

    Funeral Service: Step-Up

    “Had I given up in that season of the loss of my first wife, had I given up and thrown [away] [God’s] strength and just started to living into addictions and living into my feelings and going out and living how I wanted to, I would not be living in the promises that I’m living today.”

    The spiritual step-up is increasing one’s faith and prayer life and service to God when a tragedy or trial hits you, like the death of a loved one. Admittedly, when life gets too heavy, it's hard to step up, so Jesus invites us to lighten our load so we can take a step in faith. And, Anna, ...read more
