    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Nov 2, 2013
     | 7,887 views

    the topic of spiritual disciplines doesn't excite many people. Yet if you've ever been worn out, ready to quit, they might just be for you.

    “Connected: Playing by the Rules” Is. 30:15-22; Daniel 6:1-16; Matt. 11:28-30 If I had told you last Sunday that this morning we would focus on spiritual disciplines, I doubt I would have seen many of you doing cartwheels or standing and applauding. The concept just doesn’t have ...read more

     | 120 views

    Trusting God’s care frees us from worry, as He values and provides for us even more faithfully than He does for the birds and fields.

    If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m., rehearsing the what-ifs and worst-case scenarios, you’re not alone. The mind races, the heart paces, and the shadows in the room grow longer with every anxious thought. Worry has a way of tightening its grip—white-knuckled, breath-shortening, ...read more

    Jesus offers true rest and mercy, reminding us that God’s compassion outweighs rigid rules and that Sabbath is a gift meant to restore weary souls.

    Good morning, dear friends. Some weeks feel like a blur of alarms, appointments, and a to-do list that never seems to take a breath. Yet here you are—hungry for more than hurry, ready for more than noise. Your soul is smart; it knows when it’s thirsty. It senses a Sabbath-shaped space that work ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 150 views

    God values faithfulness in small, unseen acts; our ordinary, everyday obedience matters deeply and shapes us for greater purposes in His kingdom.

    If you’ve ever held a mustard seed between your fingers, you know how small it is—hardly more than a speck. Yet tucked inside that tiny shell is a towering tree in the making. In the same way, God tucks holy possibility into small places: the quiet errand, the thank-you note, the picked-up towel, ...read more

    True revival is living daily in the Spirit’s righteousness, peace, and joy, letting God’s love transform ordinary moments and relationships into Kingdom life.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that’s doing a lot of work. Bills stack up, headlines shout, and our own hearts whisper old worries with new volume. And yet, into that ache comes a whisper stronger than worry: the King is here, and where the King is, joy begins to sing. Not a thin grin, not ...read more

    Friends, welcome. There’s a candle God has placed within you—a steady, searching flame that glows in the quiet corners of your soul.

    The sermon encourages perseverance in doing good, assuring that faithful, unseen efforts matter and will ultimately yield a harvest in God’s perfect timing.

    Some of us walked in today a little weary, a little worn, and a little wondering. You’ve been faithful in the small things—praying for prodigals, blessing neighbors, showing up for work with integrity, holding your tongue when it would be easier to snap, trusting God when the calendar feels crowded ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 164 views

    Trusting God in seasons of waiting renews our strength, turning weariness into endurance and hope, as faith refuses to panic amid uncertainty.

    Some of us walked in today with a wait in our bones. We’ve stood in waiting rooms, stared at silent phones, counted ceiling tiles in the midnight hours. We’ve waited for a call back from a doctor, a prodigal to come home, a door to open, a cloud to move. Life can feel like a long line at the DMV of ...read more

    God sees and values our hidden faithfulness, works through our weakness, and calls us to trust His authority and power through prayerful obedience.

    Some of us know the quiet corners of life—the cubicle where no one notices, the kitchen where you serve with a smile, the classroom where faith is a whisper. You wonder, Does God see me here? Does this count? Friend, the Father’s eyes are not dim. He sees the sparrow’s flight and your faithful ...read more

     | 122 views

    Whole-life worship means daily surrendering ourselves to God, allowing His grace to transform our minds, relationships, and service into a living offering.

    Family, can we pause for a holy breath? The kind you take when the noise quiets, the to-do list loosens its grip, and you remember that God really is as kind as Jesus says He is. Sometimes the holiest moments don’t happen on mountaintops but in kitchens and cubicles, minivans and meetings. Paul’s ...read more
