    The more we have humility, and we are serving others the more we are like Christ. The places of honor in Christi’s kingdom are not reserved for those who seek it selfishly.

    In our passage the disciples are sensing Jesus’ time has come. They know Jesus is the anointed Messiah and now they are arguing who will sit in Jesus’ right and left when his kingdom is established. And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to ...read more

    Easter morning injects a rock-solid conviction that our sins are forgiven.

    Some call it coffin commercialism. Those who want to make a final statement about their life can now choose customized, personalized, caskets to tell their story. Business is thriving at the Whitelight Casket Company of Dallas, which has introduced the “art casket” for those who wouldn’t be caught ...read more

     | 1,181 views

    Jesus gives pastors as a loving gift to His church, calling us to honor, support, and pray for them as they shepherd and serve us.

    Some of the greatest gifts Jesus gives to His church have names and faces, coffee-stained sermon notes, calloused knees, and tender hearts. They stand at hospital bedsides, whisper prayers in empty sanctuaries, answer phone calls after midnight, and show up again on Sunday with a smile that says, ...read more

    Through Christ’s victory, believers can stand strong amid unseen spiritual battles by relying on God’s strength, prayer, and the armor He provides.

    Friends, welcome. Some weeks feel like a breeze; others feel like a battlefield. You wake up, pour the coffee, and before the mug cools, a storm swirls—tension at home, a cutting comment at work, a nagging worry that refuses to hush. The calendar looks normal. The room looks quiet. Yet the soul ...read more

    God lovingly exchanges our sorrow and heaviness for joy and praise, transforming our brokenness into strength through His nearness and kindness in prayer.

    If your week has felt heavy, if your heart has carried more sighs than songs, you are in the right place. You didn’t stumble in here by accident.

    Gratitude and praise, even in ordinary or difficult moments, enrich life and draw us closer to God, making worship a daily, heartfelt practice.

    Some mornings the world wakes humming. A sparrow announces the sun before it peeks over the rooftops. Coffee warms your hands while the quiet of the house rests on your shoulders like a soft shawl. On other mornings, the forecast in your heart feels gray. Bills, doctor visits, deadlines. The melody ...read more

    True gratitude transforms us—recognizing God’s mercy in our lives leads to deeper healing, richer faith, and a life made whole by thankfulness.

    Some of us walked in today with smiles that fit like borrowed shoes. They look fine, but they don’t feel right. Hearts a little hurried. Souls a bit sore. We know the ache of unanswered prayers and the sting of feeling unseen. If that’s you, your pew has your name on it, and your Shepherd has your ...read more

     | 95 views

    Jesus offers his own unshakeable peace to calm our anxious hearts, inviting us to trust his presence instead of giving in to fear or panic.

    Some days the headlines hit like hail on a tin roof. Bills stack up, calendars crowd in, and our hearts hum with hurry. We lie awake staring at the ceiling fan, counting worries like sheep that refuse to sleep. We wonder if peace is a myth, a mirage on the horizon of a hurried life. Is there a calm ...read more

    The sermon encourages believers to shine Christ’s light through everyday acts of love and faith, trusting God to use their ordinary lives for His glory.

    Friends, have you noticed how even the faintest glow can calm a room? A nightlight in a child’s hallway, a candle on a windowsill during a storm, a porch lamp that says, “You’re welcome here.” Light doesn’t shout. It simply shines. It takes up residence in dark places and changes what we can see ...read more
