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

    This message opens our eyes to the tragic consequences of idolatry, showing idolatry in 3-D, through the three terms Dispossession, Desolation, and Death.

The reason why is because I’ve been convicted that idolatry is a huge distraction that Satan uses to lure us off the path to God. The devil will use any means possible to hinder our ...read more

    You Can Get There From Here

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 9, 2025
     | 73 views

    Hezekiah’s revival shows that true renewal begins with repentance — a turning from sin and toward God that opens the floodgates of divine mercy.

    Sometimes revival comes in such gradual ways. Without even realizing when it all began, we find ourselves enjoying the spiritual blessings and joy that revival brings. Sometimes revival comes in response to conflict, or persecution, or maybe tragedy. Our complacency, our apathy, is shattered by ...read more

     | 108 views

    When denial dies and we stop playing God, repentance opens the heart to mercy, and grace restores joy that guilt once stole.

    There is a certain kind of silence that settles on the heart when we finally stop pretending. Not the silence of defeat, but the quiet that comes when we realize we were never meant to carry the whole world on our shoulders. When we stop trying to be God, something in us exhales—and God can ...read more
