     | 76 views

    True prosperity begins with a thriving soul, shaping our health, stewardship, and prayers as we seek God’s presence and live with integrity and generosity.

    Friends, there’s a line in one of the smallest letters in the Bible that feels like a cup of cold water on a hot day. It’s just a sentence, but it sounds like the kind of blessing you’d hear from a dear friend across a porch swing or see scribbled at the bottom of a postcard. John calls us ...read more

     | 134 views

    Prayer is a powerful, intimate encounter with God that brings healing, unity, and hope when we approach Him honestly and support one another.

    Some of us walked in today with a whisper instead of a shout. Hearts carry heavy headlines—doctor’s reports, strained relationships, silent worries that keep us wide awake at 3 a.m. You’ve prayed before, and maybe your prayer felt like a paper airplane tossed into a hurricane. But friend, the God ...read more

     | 90 views

    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. Not the truth about hairlines and headlines, but the whisper that says, “You’re small.” Bills stack tall, bosses bark loud, diagnoses loom large, and your heart crouches like a child in the hallway of a big, echoing house. Have you felt ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 75 views

    The sermon urges us to personally confess Jesus as the Christ, surrendering all to Him, and finding true life and identity in wholehearted allegiance to Him.

    There are questions that settle the soul. They steady the heart in a world of headlines and hurry. One question rises above the noise like a bell in a storm. Jesus asks it with gentle authority and unshakable kindness: “Who do you say that I am?” We carry many names on our backs—titles, labels, ...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

    God’s grace meets us in our brokenness, not as something earned, but as a transforming gift that brings new life and freedom in Christ.

    There is a hush that falls on the heart when grace comes close. Like dawn quietly lifting the night off the hills, grace slips in—soft, steady, sure—and before you know it, the frost of fear begins to melt. Maybe you’ve felt it on a hard day when your own strength ran out, or in a quiet moment when ...read more

    God’s grace meets us in our weakness, transforms our identity, and invites us to live in continual amazement and gratitude for His mercy.

    Some days feel like thin ice, don’t they? One more worry, one more regret, and the surface might crack. You smile for the room, but your heart whispers, “I’m worn, I’m weak, I’m wondering.” And then, in the hush of that honest place, a gentle truth arrives: God’s mercy is not measured by your ...read more

    True joy and belonging are found in knowing Jesus personally, sharing fellowship with God, and experiencing His life-giving presence in everyday moments.

    Have you ever noticed how the best news often arrives in the simplest package—a note on the counter, a text from a friend, a voice that says, “I’m here”? First John opens like that. It’s an old apostle’s steady hand reaching for your shoulder, a pastor’s calm voice speaking to a crowded room and a ...read more

    God meets us in our need by giving Himself—our Counselor, Strength, and Father—inviting us to bring every burden to Him in prayer.

    Friends, welcome. If your heart feels hurried, your calendar crowded, your mind a little muddled, you’re in the right place. The Lord meets us here—where questions hum and worries tug.

    God invites us to find true safety, peace, and courage by dwelling in His presence and trusting His faithful protection amid life’s storms.

    Some of us came in today with hands full and hearts heavy. Bills on the counter, headlines on the phone, questions in the dark. Life can feel like a storm that lingers—raindrops of worry, winds of weariness. And yet, over every squall, our Father holds out an umbrella that doesn’t falter: His ...read more

    Some mornings feel like the air itself is holding its breath.

    Trusting Jesus brings peace amid life’s storms, as He prepares a true home for us and invites us to reflect His welcoming love to others.

    If you’ve ever come home on a rainy night, you know the relief of a porch light and a door that opens. Shoes squeak, coat drips, and someone says, "You’re here. Sit down. You’re safe." Isn’t it something how a house can feel like a hug? Smells of supper in the air, a chair pulled out just for you, ...read more
