In a world full of noise, stress, and inner battles, true peace can feel out of reach. But Scripture reminds us that peace isn’t found in our circumstances—it’s found in Christ. Though we wrestle with the war within—our sinful nature pulling one way, God’s Spirit calling another—there’s hope. But God… rich in mercy, offers new life, raises us up, and seats us beside Him. The path to peace isn’t av... Read More

True joy isn’t based on circumstances—it’s rooted in Christ. James reminds us that even in trials, we can have joy when we stand on God’s truth and His promises. But joy has enemies—discontent and sin can rob our hearts of peace. The good news? Joy grows when we live by the presence of the Spirit and for the person of our Savior. It’s not a surface feeling—it’s the deep, lasting fruit of a life su... Read More

Spiritual gifts are powerful—but without love, they’re empty. Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 13 that love gives meaning to our actions and depth to our witness. Love sacrifices, it defers, and it dies to self. It’s not about impressing with gifts, but expressing Christ through grace. Love is the fruit that makes the gifts fruitful. While gifts may fade, love remains—timeless, eternal, and essent... Read More

In Luke 15, Jesus shows us a father like no other—one who releases, resolves, and receives. Though his sons had different struggles, the father met them both with the same steady love. One wandered with selfish motives; the other stayed with a bitter mindset. But the father’s heart remained full of grace, wisdom, and peace. He didn’t just react—he reached out, mediating with love and receiving the... Read More

The story of Paul shows us what happens when faith meets surrender. From a life of religious pride and desperation, Paul encountered Christ—and everything changed. He moved forward, not by status, but by submitting to the One who called him. Through transformation, Paul’s faith became a testimony, and his life a tool for God’s glory. He preached boldly, lived humbly, and walked in step with Christ... Read More

Evangelism begins on our knees. Ephesians 6 reminds us that prayer is not a side note—it’s the battleground for souls. We’re called to pray intentionally and biblically, lifting others before God with purpose and compassion. Effective prayer flows from a heart settled before the Lord, even when it’s sowing through seasons of sorrow. And we don’t give up—persistence matters. We pray always, stay sp... Read More

A popular book on the Holy Spirit is titled The Forgotten God. In the modern era, so much time and dialogue is rightly spent on the Father and the Son that the Holy Spirit is oftentimes mistakenly rendered a confusing afterthought. Scripture and church history demands that this verdict of the Holy Spirit's relevance is furthest from the truth, in fact, both demand that the Holy Spirit is crucial f... Read More

In Luke 19, we meet Zacchaeus—a man with both prominence and problems. Despite his wealth, he felt the emptiness that status couldn’t fill, driving him to seek something more. Jesus, walking intentionally through Jericho, sought him out, becoming a friend when others kept their distance. In that moment, Zacchaeus experienced true connection and life-changing grace. His heart, once preoccupied with... Read More

Jesus promised that history is heading somewhere—and He’s coming back. After devastation and darkness, after tribulation and trials, the Gospel doesn’t fade—it returns. Mark 13 paints a sobering picture: lights will fail, hearts will tremble, and the world will reel. But then comes the crescendo. Jesus returns, not in weakness, but in power and glory. His strength will calm every storm. His splend... Read More
