Elijah And The Widow

Sunday November 03, 2024 10:00 AM

The story of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17:1-24) offers a powerful reminder of sacrificial trust, generosity, and God’s provision. When Elijah, an outsider, encounters a widow with only enough flour and oil for her final meal, she chooses to share it with him—challenging her natural instinct to prioritize her own survival. This act transforms scarcity into sustaining abundance, showing us how faith can build community across differences. Like the widow, we are invited to reflect on the power of living with a heart of compassion, prioritizing justice and support for others. Join us as we explore what it means to live with a heart that reflects God’s boundless care for all.

God’s Promise To David

Sunday October 27, 2024 10:00 AM

In this exploration of 2 Samuel 7, we dive into King David's desire to build a temple for God. This passage reveals profound truths about God's nature and relationship with us. We learn that God's plans often differ while our intentions may be good. David's wish to construct a grand temple was met with God's promise of an everlasting dynasty instead. This teaches us the importance of seeking God's will before acting, even when we believe we're doing something to honor Him. The message challenges us: Are we, like David, sometimes too quick to assume we know what God wants? It encourages us to cultivate a habit of constant communication with God, always asking for His guidance in our decisions, big and small. As we reflect on this, we're reminded that God's vision extends far beyond our immediate circumstances, focusing on the long-term impact of His plans for His people.

The Power Of Hannah's Prayer

Sunday October 20, 2024 10:00 AM

In this exploration of Hannah's story from 1 Samuel, we're invited to reconsider our approach to prayer. Hannah's bold, unrestrained communication with God challenges our often cautious, tepid prayers. We're encouraged to bring our whole selves - our pain, desires, and raw emotions - before God without fear or hesitation. This isn't about demanding that God fulfill our every wish but rather about cultivating a deep, authentic relationship with our Creator. Hannah's example reminds us that true peace comes not from immediately receiving what we ask for but from being fully present with God and trusting that He hears us. As we reflect on this, we might ask ourselves: What are we holding back in our prayers? How can we approach God with greater boldness and trust?

Sandwiched!

Published: October 17, 2024

We discuss the challenges faced by the "sandwich generation," who are responsible for caring for their aging parents and raising their own children simultaneously. Navigating these difficulties can be made easier by turning to one's faith for guidance, comfort, and seeking support from the faith community. By trusting in God's plan, practicing self-care, and finding joy in small moments, individuals can overcome the challenges of the sandwich generation and find peace and contentment in their lives.

Need Prayer? No matter what you're facing, we'd love to pray with you!

There are times when life is overwhelming, when all we have is questions. In those moments, hope can feel far away. The great thing about prayer is that it shifts our perspective toward the One who stands ready to listen.
