Greetings to all. As we gather this Sunday, we are given another opportunity to journey together in faith and deepen our connection both with one another and with God. The Bible encourages us to continually seek knowledge, emphasizing that learning is a lifelong process. We are also reminded that spiritual growth comes from a persistent desire to understand God’s truth, and that ignoring this pursuit can lead to spiritual emptiness and missed blessings from generations to com

Greetings to all. This weekend, let us take a moment to pause from the cares of the world and open our hearts to hope. Even in our most challenging moments, remember: God walks beside us. When worry threatens to overwhelm, pause, breathe, and trust that His goodness and mercy will never leave your side. In His presence, we do not need to worry, as our anxiety fades and hope is renewed. His love is a constant source of strength. Matthew 6:27 (GW) 27“Can any of you add a single

Greetings to all. As we end this week, keep looking forward. Blessings delayed are never blessings denied. As the week draws to a close, it is natural to reflect on what we hoped would happen, what did happen, and what remains out of reach. Sometimes, we find ourselves waiting for things to happen, for prayers to be answered, or for dreams to come true. In those moments, it is easy to feel discouraged, wondering if perhaps the blessings we seek have passed us by. Isaiah 25:9

Greetings to all. On this grateful Thursday, we can continue to trust God’s promise to sustain and protect us. In His word, we are assured that the Lord cares for us. We can be grateful that our God carries us through every season of life. He has promised that His care and protection for us will never cease, sustaining us even in our old age. Isaiah 46:4 (GW) 4 Even when you’re old, I’ll take care of you.  Even when your hair turns gray, I’ll support you.  I made you and will

Greetings to all.  This hump day, Wednesday, can be challenging. Let us choose to walk a path that uplifts us and helps us grow, rather than simply mirroring what we see around us. We are encouraged to seek the path that brings true fulfillment and a life of meaning. Sometimes, we may find ourselves choosing differently, and that is completely human. The world often encourages us to prioritize only our immediate desires, but we can choose a different path. Ephesians 2:1–2 (GW

Greetings to all. As we progress through life, we come to realize that it is all too easy to fall into temptation. According to the prize being offered, falling into temptation can be easy. The first time sin entered the world, it was through temptation from the spirit of Satan by way of the serpent, who Satan used to deceive and tempt the woman in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 3:1 (GW) 1The snake was more clever than all the wild animals the LORD God had made. He asked the wom

Greetings to all. As we begin this week, let us open our hearts to hope and stand strong in faith. Even in these challenging times before Christ’s second return, let us remember that light shines brightest in darkness. May we not be deceived by the deception and delusions of wicked days. But let us encourage one another to stand and walk in truth, courage, and unwavering trust in God's promises. 2 Thessalonians 2:12 (NCV) 12 So all those will be judged guilty who did not beli

Greetings to all.  May this Sunday bring us together in hope, unity, and the blessings God has promised. Through prayer and faith, we receive the blessings God promised. Prayer is powerful. When we pray boldly and honestly, we can overcome any challenge, because God often answers the prayers of those who are sincere and have faith. 1 Chronicles 4:10 (KJV 1900) 10And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and tha

Greetings to all. This weekend, let our lives inspire others seeking to live the Christian life. When it comes to experiencing pain in our lives, we can find ourselves doubting and feeling confused. This often happens when we are torn between two choices, such as serving God or giving in to temptation. It is like trying to follow God while also engaging in behaviors that oppose Him and then wondering why we face struggles as a result. James 1:7–8 (NCV) 7Such doubters are thin

Greetings to all. As we conclude this week, be encouraged and seek God’s strength to accept the painful changes that you may be facing. Life is full of unexpected changes, and sometimes, those changes bring pain, loss, or uncertainty. In these moments, it is natural to feel overwhelmed or discouraged. Yet, God invites us to trust Him, even when the path forward is unclear. Isaiah 53:5 (NKJV) 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The c

Greetings to all. On this grateful Thursday, let us commit ourselves to both prayer and expressing gratitude. Today, let us embrace the power of gratitude and allow it to transform the way we express ourselves. Prayer is the strongest foundation of all spiritual growth, a source of strength, hope, and renewal. Imagine how our lives would change if, given the choice, we always lined up for gratitude instead of complaints. When we shift our focus from what is lacking to the abu

Greetings to all. On this hump day, Wednesday, let us continue moving forward despite doubt or criticism. As we navigate life, there will be times when we hear the voice of God giving us directions or instructions that others and even ourselves may think are unusual or even crazy. Before acting, we must first ensure that the voice we hear is truly the voice of God. Once we are confident, we can move forward, regardless of how it is perceived. Genesis 7:5 (NCV) 5 Noah did ever

Greetings to all. As we journey through life, let us unite in a shared commitment to uplifting every person and nurturing the dignity and well-being of all inhabitants of Earth. This world belongs to all people, a gift entrusted by our Creator. As people of God, we are called to demonstrate compassion, kindness, and responsibility. Despite the darkness in the world, when we unite our hearts and actions, we become shining examples of hope and compassion. Isaiah 6:12–13 (GW) 12

Greetings to all.   As this week begins, let us recognize, connect with, and acknowledge those who uplift us and inspire us to live with purpose and faith. As God’s children, we are called to shine as beacons of light in a world that often walks in darkness. Choosing holiness is not only about separation, but about choosing a higher calling. A calling that draws us closer to God and allows His love to flow through us to others. 2 Corinthians 6:17–18 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, “Come

Greetings to all. As we gather this Sunday, let us reflect on a profound truth: none of us can rely on our own goodness to reach heaven. The fact that we are not good enough to go to heaven comes with a 'not on our own' clause. One of the greatest misunderstandings the world has about the kingdom of God is that many people believe goodness will automatically grant them entry into heaven. Until we are forgiven, we will find ourselves standing guilty before God. Romans 3:23–24

Greetings to all.   This weekend, take a moment to reflect on the humbling reality that our lives are fleeting and uncertain. As we walk by faith in a world with little certainty, I find myself reflecting on the reality of life's end, faith, injustice, and the meaning of existence while holding on to hope. Although we witness injustice and uncertainty, we are still called to do our best and live well. Ecclesiastes 3:20 (GW) 20 All ⸤life⸥ goes to the same place. All ⸤life⸥ com

Greetings to all. As we finish this week, let us stay true to ourselves. The price to pay for not being true to who we are in Christ can be very costly. In this world, we will find ourselves having to choose whom or what we will be obedient to. May we always choose to be obedient to the Lord. Deuteronomy 11:26–28 (NRSV) 26 See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: 27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I am commanding you toda

Greetings to all. On this grateful Thursday, let us reflect on choosing the path God has made for us. There is a saying: God has a way, and you cannot go around it, under it, or over it; you must go through it. God’s guidance often comes during our hardest times, and we are wise to trust that way. Deuteronomy 8:15–16 (NKJV) 15 who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; who broug

Greetings to all.  Gossiping and listening to gossip can have serious consequences. We are often told that words cannot hurt us, but in reality, words carry tremendous power. Negative and careless words can wound deeply, damaging relationships and undermining our confidence. However, we can take heart and stand firm, knowing that God is always on our side. God’s blessings and protection surround us. He is faithful to uplift us in the presence of those who wish us harm.   Psal

Greetings to all. Remember that our prayers have a great impact on us. We must have confidence that God hears our prayers and responds. Prayer builds our faith, gives us boldness to approach God, and brings peace and strength. As we are changed through prayer, we become confident witnesses, ready to share God’s love with others. Acts 4:31 (KJV 1900) 31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Gh
