    Following Jesus means surrendering our comfort and control, embracing self-denial, and trusting that true life and reward are found in obedient discipleship with Him.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a storm in our chest. The calendar is crowded, the heart is heavy, and the questions are louder than ever. You’ve been faithful, you’ve prayed, you’ve pressed on—and still, there are days when following Jesus feels like walking uphill with a ...read more

But we know that He is the primary Actor. • He might not be prominent but He is present, and working behind the scenes even when we don’t see Him much. • We see that again in 2 Kings 11. ...read more

     | 3,322 views

    Today’s sermon is about a childless couple unexpectedly blessed with a grape-less son who ends up being a womanizing hothead hippie, marries the enemy, has a hobby of setting fox’ tails on fire, gets put in prison just because he gets a haircut, and dies of fallen arches. This is how it happened.

    A Self-centered Hothead Meets God’s Providence (Judges 13-16) Some people think that God using someone means God endorsing someone. God uses two types of people: 1. Those He uses because of their close walk with Him. 2 Timothy 2:21, “Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is ...read more
