     | 145 views

    Jesus lovingly exposes our self-sufficiency, invites us to deeper dependence on Him, and offers restoration, hope, and true riches for our lukewarm hearts.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile for the foyer and a sigh for the soul. Bills on the counter, deadlines on the calendar, questions on the heart. And yet, here we are, gathering around a Letter from Jesus to an ancient church in a city called Laodicea—a church with polished doors and tepid ...read more

    Jesus lovingly calls us to reject complacency, pursue genuine relationship with Him, and value what truly matters over worldly success or self-sufficiency.

    There’s a kindness in the way Jesus speaks to us. He doesn’t holler from across the street; He knocks at the front door. He doesn’t shove His way into our living rooms; He stands and waits, like the Friend you can trust with the tender truth. You can almost hear the hinge creak as you reach for the ...read more

    Following Jesus means daily self-denial and cross-bearing, trusting His worth and grace, and surrendering our lives to His call in every circumstance.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us arrived with hurried hearts and heavy hands. Some of us smiled at the door and sighed in the seat. Wherever you are, come close. Hear the whisper of Jesus that cuts through the noise and the nagging: I see you. I love you. Walk with Me. He doesn’t wave us onward like a ...read more

     | 8,737 views

    We put faith in action when we approach life with a right attitude about God’s will, life and work. The other truth I see in our texts today is where we live matters to God too and all this seems rooted in our attitude with God.

The half-brother of Jesus is speaking to the scattered Jewish Christians across the nations – they were scattered right after Stephen was killed. James tells these ...read more
