Trust God’s presence and providence when facing hostility or fear, relying on His protection and grace instead of reacting with anger or self-defense.
Some of us walked in today weary, worried, and worn. You’ve been dodging spears you never asked for—sharp words at work, quiet tensions at home, old wounds that seem to whisper fresh threats. It feels like you’re playing the harp in Saul’s palace—trying to bring calm—while a javelin sits poised in ...read more

The prayer of Antioch got God’s attention in a big way, but we’re not told what they prayed. What can this unique prayer teach us?

Communion is a foreshadowing of the Wedding Feast of the Lamb when Jesus will "drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom."
INTRODUCTION: Revelation 19:7-9 says, The wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread (HaMatzah) (Leviticus 23: 6-8) 1. Whenever we address the Levitical Feasts, we are on Jewish ground. 2. So what better way to start today’s sermon than with a great Jewish joke: The Cohen Brothers & Mr. Ford It was a sweltering August day when all three Cohen ...read more
