God uses our small offerings, given in faith and compassion, to meet the needs of others and multiply blessings beyond what we imagine.
Some of us walked in today with a smile that took a lot of effort. Bills stare back, bodies ache, and a stack of needs feels taller than our energy. Maybe you’re a parent counting pennies at the grocery store, a grandparent worrying over a prodigal, or a student standing at the edge of a new season ...read more

God’s power is greater than our problems; prayer and obedience invite hope and restoration even when circumstances seem impossible or overwhelming.

True faith is shown through obedient action to Jesus’ words, building a life that stands firm through life’s storms by relying on Him as our foundation.
Welcome, friends. Some of us walked in today with the week still clinging to us like rain-soaked coats—news that unsettled, bills that piled up, a diagnosis that won’t leave the mind alone, a loneliness that lingers even in a crowded room. Life has a way of sending squalls without notice. The phone ...read more

The sermon encourages believers to shine Christ’s light through everyday acts of love and faith, trusting God to use their ordinary lives for His glory.
Friends, have you noticed how even the faintest glow can calm a room? A nightlight in a child’s hallway, a candle on a windowsill during a storm, a porch lamp that says, “You’re welcome here.” Light doesn’t shout. It simply shines. It takes up residence in dark places and changes what we can see ...read more

Topics: Light, Authenticity
We all struggle with sinful anger. For some it’s violent and red-faced; for others it’s a quiet, building resentment. Whatever the form, James teaches us how to overcome it in this passage.
James 1:19 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the ...read more

This is a Biblical perspective on homosexuality.
In today’s society, homosexuality has become "the forgotten sin." While Scripture is clear on the subject, the Church has quickly, and meekly followed the world and softened its’ stance.

How do you know what parts of the Old Testament law apply to you today? Why do we still obey the law prohibiting adultery but not the laws concerning stoning certain people to death?
