Words That Build or Break “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs.” (Eph 4:29)It is impossible to be life giving and life draining at the same time. Our words always build something. They either build people or they… Continue reading Words That Build or Break
Delayed Is Not Denied “Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6 (NIV)One of the hardest lessons of faith is learning that God’s silence is not His absence, and His delay is not His denial.Abraham… Continue reading Delayed Is Not Denied
I HAVE FOUND YOU “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son…”Luke 15:20The prodigal son had a whole speech prepared. He had practised it in his head all the way home.Father, I have sinned.I am no longer worthy.Just… Continue reading I HAVE FOUND YOU
Stay a Little Longer This morning I sat in church with my notebook open, waiting for God to say something profound. One of those lightning-bolt revelations. The kind where you underline everything three times, circle it, draw arrows everywhere and immediately think, “Well, that’s definitely going in the book.” Instead… He gave me one word.… Continue reading Stay a Little Longer
The God of the Valley We all love the mountaintops. The answered prayers. The breakthroughs. The victories. The moments when God opens doors, moves mountains, and reminds us of His goodness in ways we can clearly see. But Scripture reveals something beautiful: God is not only the God of the mountain. He is also the… Continue reading The God of the Valley
Which Direction Are You Running? Every single one of us is running.The question is not whether we are moving.The question is whether we are moving toward life or away from it.Toward faith or toward fear.Toward obedience or toward comfort.Toward God or toward ourselves.Because direction determines destination.And sometimes one decision, one turn, one moment of courage,… Continue reading Which Direction Are You Running?
System override Sunday, Pastor Matt had an incredible sermon on peace, survival mode, and the way God wants to override the broken systems we carry internally.And honestly, it stayed with me long after church ended. As I journeyed through the last 2 days and prayed about it, I realized how many of us are no… Continue reading System override
There’s Room for You Beyond the barriers and walls we build after being hurt, God still calls us closer. His love looks different from the love of the world, it welcomes the obedient servant, the broken, the blind, and those still finding their way. The message of the sermon was simple yet powerful: *there is… Continue reading There’s Room for You
The Weight of a Word This past Sunday, Pastor Matt preached a powerful word on limitation. You know, the way we speak that quietly shapes the world we live in… Not what’s around us. What comes *out* of us. “I can’t.” “It won’t work.” “I have nothing.” And slowly, without even noticing, we start living… Continue reading The Weight of a Word
The idea is almost confronting, about how simple Jesus makes it. There’s no formula. Not even a ten-step process. Nor hidden layers for the “more spiritual.”Just this:Love God.Love yourself.Love others.That’s it. And yet… it’s everything.If we’re honest, this is not easy love. This is not the love that comes naturally when life is smooth and… Continue reading The idea is almost confronting, about how simple Jesus makes it.
