     | 167 views

    God gives us a new identity in Christ, freeing us from old labels and shame, and calling us beloved, forgiven, and truly new.

    There’s a name tag on the table for every one of us. Maybe it’s not paper and ink, maybe it’s old memories and new mistakes, report cards and résumés, whispers and headlines. Labels stick. Some feel like tattoos. Others like Post-its that refuse to peel away. Have you noticed how fast the world ...read more

He hears the hush of a hospital hallway and the hum of a kitchen sink; He listens for faith at a funeral ...read more

    God’s love transforms us, reconciles us to Himself, and sends us out to love others with grace, forgiveness, and the hope of new life.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts humming like quiet engines, carrying the week on our backs—school runs, bills to pay, conversations we wish had gone better. Others of us came with hope rolling like a sunrise—news of a baby on the way, a victory over a habit, a fresh start at work. Wherever ...read more

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

It can be used for good stuff or it can cause a lot of damage. When money takes over our hearts, it can burn us up ...read more

     | 8,020 views

    The Christian life is like "Walking on Water" and to do it successfully we need to be assured that Jesus Prays for Us; He’s Present with Us, Helps Us to cope with Fear and Urges Us to Move Out in Faith.

    WALKING ON WATER “Walking on water” – this is a biblical phrase which has found its way in everyday use. What does it mean? The secular meaning is that a person is doing wonders - but we can’t quite understand how they’re doing it and there’s a hint of danger that it could all go wrong! The ...read more

    In order for each of us to move toward becoming the person God created us to be and fulfill the purpose He created us to fulfill, we must pull some stakes and refuse to let limitations define us.

     | 2,632 views

    All of us here will try to solve problems and face situations using our own strength, but the truth of it all is that if we do not allow the Holy Spirit to give us conviction and guide us, then we will fail.

    Like I said last week, we all live with a certain level of stress. Due to our responsibilities and obligations, on a daily basis we are pulled in different directions.
