    Gratitude transforms our lives; when we return to thank Jesus for His mercy, we experience deeper wholeness and the richness only gratitude can bring.

    Some of the most powerful moments in Scripture begin with a simple cry for help. Think about it: a whisper becomes a waterfall, a sigh becomes a song. When weary people raise faint voices to heaven, heaven hears. In Luke 17, ten tired men lifted ten shaky prayers. They were outcasts, pushed to the ...read more

    God brings peace and order to our lives and church, inviting us to trust His presence and follow His clear, simple guidance with settled hearts.

    If you walked in today with a heart that feels hurried, with thoughts that scatter like leaves in a gust of wind, you’re in good company. Life has a way of turning up the volume. Deadlines stack up. Conversations get clipped. Sleep runs thin. And then Sunday comes, and we find ourselves in the ...read more

    Message introduces a series examining the Gifts of the Spirit. In the first half, the series entitled Foundations for Worship is reviewed, teaching the relational nature of the gifts. In the second half, God's purpose for the gifts is explained.

    Intro Today, we begin a series on the gifts of the Spirit. This is a challenging subject because the goal is not just more knowledge about the gifts but knowledge that releases us into the actual exercise of the gifts in our personal lives and in the corporate life of this church. “Be ye doers of ...read more

    God’s abundant goodness invites us to pray boldly and expectantly, trusting His faithfulness to do more than we can imagine or ask.

    If you’ve ever stood on the shore at dawn, watching waves roll in one after another, you know something about the heart of God. His goodness doesn’t trickle; it tumbles. His grace doesn’t drip; it drenches. He is the God who fills empty nets, feeds hungry crowds, and whispers to weary hearts, “I ...read more
