    True faith is shown by serving others with love in everyday life, trusting that God values our simple acts of kindness and compassion.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a storm in our chest. Others came in with questions that kept us up last night. We wonder, Do I measure up? Is God tired of me stumbling?

    Trusting God means obeying Him even when the path is unclear; true faith is shown through daily, courageous steps of obedience rooted in His promises.

    Some mornings feel like a fog has rolled in and parked on the path right in front of you. You can see your feet, maybe the next step, yet the road ahead stays hidden.

    Church family, have you noticed how a simple sentence at the right time can steady your soul?

    There’s a hush that falls over the heart when you sense God is nearby. Not in the thunder, not even in the headlines, but in the ordinary—the kettle singing in the kitchen, a lunch pail packed for work, the Bible open on a worn table. In those moments, something within whispers, “Get ready.” ...read more

    Prayer begins with trusting God as our Father, centering our lives on Him, and building a simple, daily rhythm of fellowship through Christ.

    If you listen close enough, right where the morning is thin and the coffee is warm, you can almost hear the first word Jesus taught us to pray: Father. Not a distant title, not a cold address, but a name full of nearness and tenderness. The kind of name a child whispers when the night is long and ...read more

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

    Sometimes life feels like a city under siege. You plan, you pray, you press on—and then the bottom drops out. The letter arrives. The job shifts. The news blindsides. You look around and the familiar skyline of your world seems changed, scarred, and smoky. Have you ever stood there, heart in your ...read more
