God’s constant presence brings hope and steadiness in our darkest, most anxious moments, reminding us that His light always shines and overcomes.
Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache we can’t quite name. Sleep came late. Worry came early.

Does God really ...read more

Some of us walked in with tired feet and tender hearts, and the week has felt louder than our faith. But the Lord is ...read more
Scripture: Ephesians 1:24-25
Topics: New Life, Exaltation
God is our ever-present, unfailing Helper and Keeper, offering constant care and strength amid life’s uncertainties, inviting us to trust Him completely.
Some of us walked in today with quiet questions in our hearts. How long will this last? Where will the help come from? The world can feel like a wall of hills, looming larger than our strength. When the bills stack up, when the diagnosis surprises, when the nights stretch on, the soul starts ...read more

For Ascension Sunday; and in preparation for my retirement as pastor. What stands in our way? Exhaustion? Gather all, gather the marginalized, and pray. Planless? Remember our core values and do them. Lack of urgency? We are accountable to God.
When a leader and those he leads part company, we learn a whole lot about both of them. Their true values become apparent. The things they are really about become clear. There is no more game-playing when it is time for a leader and those he leads to part company. Sometimes they separate ...read more

Resolving to do something. Now, this is the time of year when many of us will make those famous New Year’s ...read more
