Have you ever ventured outside at night, where it’s pitch black, no light, no stars, just black and the territory is unfamiliar? Did you carry a flashlight or use your phone’s light to guide your steps? Okay, apply that same scenario to uncertainties in life. Much like a flashlight, the Holy Spirit is available to guide you, illuminating what is needed to nurture your faith. Your ever-present helper is always available to whisper directions and brighten your path when the crossroads of life seem daunting or uncertain. Join us tomorrow morning at 7:05 as we explore how the Lord guides us through His Spirit.

As we step into spring, it’s a great time to consider not just cleaning our homes, shops, motorhomes or trailers, but also time to rejuvenate our soul. In the same way that sunlight streams through open windows, revealing hidden dust and dirt, God’s light shines into the corners of our souls, inviting us to clear away what hinders us. To be renewed in the spirit is to allow God to reshape our thoughts, sweep away the old and embrace the new self that He saw in us from the beginning of time. Join us tomorrow morning at 7:05 as we talk about renewing our soul by reducing the clutter in our lives. Don't forget, we will have communion!

A song with a message for any seeking a relationship with Christ.

Forgiveness isn't merely about overlooking faults; it's about embracing a profound love that refreshes and renews, much like the first warm days of spring. It's a love that sees beyond mistakes and misunderstandings, reaching into the very essence of grace. You might feel weighed down by past hurts or misunderstandings that play over and over in your mind. It's natural. Yet, in the embrace of forgiveness, you find freedom in forgiveness.

Much of my life, I have worked with and for people that held great sway over me as an individual. My Experience has been both good and bad and encompasses different phases of my life. Those spoken and seen experiences are why I have become the person I am.

Like the subtle awakening of spring, the most profound growth often occurs out of sight, in the quiet depths of your heart. This unseen growth is evidence of the nurturing power of patience in your walk with God. Think of a seed planted in fertile soil; it doesn’t sprout overnight. It requires time, care and the unseen work of God.

You can trust God for all He has planned for you as you continue to face forward and look to Him. What are you looking forward to? There are prizes for those who are in Christ Jesus. They are the most fulfilling of all; so much more than the world has to offer.

Sometimes it’s a word of encouragement when you want to give up. Maybe it’s an extra set of hands to help you get the job done, or maybe it’s a little extra food or finances in a time of need. We all face times in our lives when we can’t do it on our own. God, in His infinite love, sends friends who will hold us up, lend us their strength and speak encouragement until together, we can. Join us Sunday morning at 7:05 for more on what the Lord shared with me this week. *NOTE: Don't forget, we have communion tomorrow morning*

It’s just polite to hold the door open for others as you walk into a venue – whether you know them or not. Granted, not everyone does. But as a believer in Jesus Christ, you have been chosen to live a lifestyle that elevates those around you, seeing their worth through the eyes of love. When you let others go first, it establishes a higher value of love by adding the element of respect and showcases God’s way of doing life.

So much of our lives is shaped by the influence of our fathers. That begs the question, what constitutes a good father.

Imagine you're on a racetrack, ready to run the race of your life. The crowd is cheering, and you can feel the excitement. But this race isn't just any race; it's the race of life, and your goal is to finish and win. God placed unique and divine ambitions within your heart – part of His vision for your life – and you need to pursue them. Your dreams, talents and passions are all gifts from Him, given with a purpose. You journey toward fulfilling God's plan for your life as you embrace and pursue them.

Do you realize the incredible power that resides within the simple act of prayer? Prayer is much more than a religious ritual or a routine exercise; it is a direct line of communication with the Almighty God, the Creator of the universe. It's easy to underestimate the significance of prayer, but the transparency is real and holds transformative power. Many Christ followers often stumble in life because they forget the single most important aspect of our relationship, communication with the Father.

How often have you been in a situation, and you realize the person with you is reacting differently than you are? Sometimes it doesn’t make sense to you. Sometimes you wish you thought of what others realized in a moment. God made each person uniquely with different purposes in the body of Christ. All of us are one in His Spirit, but there are many members created as He chose. Just like the physical body needs all its parts, so does the spiritual body.

We live in a world filled with words, images and videos. It’s a kaleidoscope of never-ending stimulation. The competition for our attention, our eyes, and our headspace has never been more aggressive and ruthless than today. Our modern lives are filled with digital and analog voices and images stealing our limited focus. They clamor for our money, our time, our energy, our love and our worship.

Entering a new year can be filled with optimism and dreams. It is a time to remember that God is always present in our lives and actively bestowing His goodness upon us daily. He offers a promise of abundance and provision, and there's a profound message for us as we look ahead to the coming year. Sometimes, it would be easier to have our roadmap already planned, but if we did, we might miss the profound beauty in engaging with God in prayer to help us create our year's goals and tasks. Imagine each day of the upcoming year as a blank canvas, painted and outlined with God's love and provision. It will be a year filled with moments to witness God's hand at work in our lives. We're walking alongside a God who promises to fill our days with goodness and abundance.

As we approach a new year the world seems crazier than ever. You have to ask yourself, have we been here before? Is there an example in the scriptures that can help us deal? The short answer is yes!

Every journey in life has its moments of clarity, where purpose and ambition intersect with faith. Maybe you’ve felt it, that tug at your heart urging you to seek a greater purpose, to move beyond the horizon you’ve always known. You might be wondering where this drive comes from and how to align it with God’s plan for you and your life. It's easy to wax nostalgic and live on the success and memories of the past. You have to ask yourself one question, is that what the Lord wants me to do with my talents and gifts? The answer is no!

We do certain things in anticipation of certain results. But what happens when you’ve been following a star with the idea in mind that it will lead you to something spectacular but, instead, it leads you to something humble and unassuming? What do you do when, after dreaming that you will find a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow, you end up beside a rusting, empty pot? Instead of finding the pomp and ceremony of a regal king in a palace, the wise men that followed a promising bright star for so long found themselves in a humble dwelling with a little toddler in the arms of his teen-aged mother.

In the whirlwind of our bustling world, where time races and the demands of life tug relentlessly at every step, take a moment to step out of the chaos. Breathe. Exhale. Feel the weight of the world begin to lift as you immerse your weary heart and mind in the gentle embrace of God’s Word and unwavering promises.

Truth is ever so elusive these days. I honestly struggle with believing much of anything when it comes to the leadership placed above us in positions of authority. From the government to the media, the half-truths and outright lies are everyday occurrences. I’ve come to a place in my life where the realities of the world are nearly unbelievable. The world, aka the enemy, will have you looking through those rose-colored glasses and wants you to live by their views. Instead of seeing the realities of this world, you see the lies of this life. But as Christ followers, we have a secret weapon, the Holy Spirit. He is the ultimate authority on truth and the giver of life.

Forgiveness constantly flows out of God’s loving nature. It is who He is and has been from the very beginning. From Adam and Eve, to David, to this present day when we accept Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness, He doesn’t count our sins against us.

Have you ever struggled to see something right in front of you? Perhaps you looked all over the house for your glasses, keys or something else, only to look over them numerous times, finally seeing them at last. That can be the case with our salvation – the gifts God has made available to us through the death burial and resurrection of His son. So many things belong to us as His redeemed, but we struggle to see them until the Holy Spirit opens our eyes. The men on the road to Emmaus, were broken, dismayed and downtrodden and walked with Jesus and didn't even know it.

Just as every grain of sand on a beach is unique, so is God's individual love for each of us. When you begin to grasp the concept of His love, your perspective shifts. The gospel becomes not just stories from a distant past but living truths that personally speak into your life. As you start recognizing His love in your everyday life, you'll find the gospel becoming more real and intimate to you than ever before.
