    God’s presence and promise give us courage to face opposition and uncertainty, reminding us that prayer shapes our lives and God stands with us always.

    Some weeks feel like a wrestling match. You wake up with a knot in your stomach, step into the day with a brave face, and still hear the whispers of worry: What if this doesn’t work?

    When we face overwhelming challenges, prayer and faith in God’s promises empower us to overcome fear and step forward with courage and obedience.

    Some days, the mirror tells the truth you’d rather ignore.

Have you felt ...read more

    Christ calls us to shine His light in everyday life, so that our actions reflect His love and guide others toward God’s glory.

    Some nights feel too dark. The text pings at midnight. The doctor’s tone is flat. The worry refuses to sleep. Yet even in a midnight room, a small nightlight steadies a child. A single candle hushes a whole room of shadows. That’s the math of heaven: a little light makes a life-sized difference. ...read more

    Have you ever stood on a threshold with your hand on the knob, heart racing, knowing there’s goodness inside but still hesitating to step in? Maybe it’s a fresh calling, a new season, a second chance. Maybe it’s peace after a long storm, or hope after a hard night. God brings us to thresholds. He ...read more

[3] Now as he went ...read more
