Anxiety For Peace

Sunday December 08, 2024 10:00 AM

As the Spirit fills all people, we see a peace that reorders a distressed community into one rooted in God’s promise. Anxiety fades in the presence of God’s Spirit, which assures us of God’s ongoing work to reconcile and renew our lives.

Despair For Hope

Sunday December 01, 2024 10:00 AM

As we enter the season of Advent, we're invited to exchange the world's gift of despair for God's gift of hope. The story of Daniel in the lion's den reminds us that even in our darkest moments, faith can sustain us. Like Daniel, who continued to pray openly despite the king's decree, we're called to trust in God's presence and power, even when circumstances seem hopeless. This biblical account challenges us to consider: How might our lives change if we approached our challenges with unwavering hope rather than despair? The sealed lion's den parallels Jesus' tomb, hinting at the resurrection power that can transform our seemingly impossible situations. As we face our own 'lion's dens,' let's remember that hope isn't just optimism—it's a radical trust in God's ability to work miracles in our lives and in our world.

God Promises A New Covenant

Sunday November 24, 2024 10:00 AM

In this exploration of Jeremiah 36, we encounter a stark reminder of how easily we can reject God's message when it challenges us. The story of King Jehoiakim burning the scroll containing Jeremiah's prophecies serves as a poignant metaphor for our own tendency to 'edit out' parts of God's Word that make us uncomfortable. Yet, we're reminded that God's truth cannot be destroyed by human actions. Just as God instructed Jeremiah to rewrite the scroll, adding even more to it, we're called to embrace the fullness of God's message, even when it's difficult. This narrative invites us to examine our hearts: Are we truly open to hearing God's word in its entirety, or do we, like Jehoiakim, try to remove the parts that don't align with our desires? Let's challenge ourselves to approach Scripture with humility and openness, ready to be transformed by its truth.

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.
