The Year Behind, The Altar Ahead
We are already into the days of this new year, and we find ourselves at the threshold between reflection on the past and readiness for what is to come. I find myself in that sacred space between what was and what will be. It's a thin place, where memories of twelve months press close and the blank canvas of a new year stretches out before us, both inviting and unknown. This is the season when we are tempted to make our lists: accomplishment tallied, failures catalogued, resol

The Journey to Bethlehem: A Story of Faith and Obedience
A Divine Promise Long before a young woman named Mary whispered her "yes," God had been speaking. Quietly. Faithfully. Through the generations, the prophets carried promises like lanterns in the dark. Isaiah spoke of a virgin who would conceive and bear a Son, calling His name Immanuel—God with us. Micah named the place before the people were even looking for it: Bethlehem. Small. Overlooked. A town most would pass by without noticing. Yet God marked it on the map of redempti

Giving Thanks: Finding Grace in Every Season
Gratitude isn't always easy. Some days, life feels heavy, and the blessing we hope for seem distant. Holidays can make that weight feel even heavier. Maybe you've lost someone you loved, or family gatherings leave you tense instead of joyful. Maybe the people around you don't understand your struggles, or you don't understand theirs. Even then, there's a quiet presence reminding us we are not alone. That presence is grace. Grace is God showing up in your life even when you fe

Imperfect. Human.Used by God.
You have probably scrolled past countless "perfect" people online and wondered if anyone still walks with God. Here is the truth, God doesn't need perfect people, He uses flawed, human, ordinary people to do extraordinary things. From Miriam leading worship after a miracle to Paul turning his past mistakes into a mission that changed the world, the Bible is full of real stories you can see yourself in. These people laughed, failed, doubted, and loved. Through it all, they pra

Something is Happening in the World, Can You Feel It Too?
As I write this, autumn winds rattle the windowpanes. October came quietly and now it's already slipping away. Shadows stretch longer across the land, and the air carries with it something ancient. Some celebrate this month with playful ghosts and plastic demons, unaware, willfully or innocently, that spiritual darkness is no costume. The unseen war is not pretend. It is present, piercing, and very real. Why Speak of Spiritual Warfare Now? Silence has a cost. While we busy ou

Jesus Christ: The Soon Coming King
The Promise of His Return From Genesis to Revelation, His story has not changed. Jesus came once in the humility of a manger. He will come again in the blazing glory of a King. Christians hold fast to this hope, that He is the soon coming King, the Savior who is even now seen gathering people to Himself. We do not know the hour or the day, but we know that He waits, longing, as we all should, for the lost to come home. His return is not a threat but a promise, a gentle summon

Thirsty for More? The Real Power of God's Presence.
A woman sits on a balcony, bathed in sunlight, lost in thought Have you ever sat quietly in a sunlit room, the world humming just beyond your window, and felt a longing you couldn't quite name? Perhaps you've tried to fill it with good intentions, religion, busyness, or books. Yet, that ache remains, like a silent invitation echoing in your soul. Friend, I believe that longing is not for something but Someone, the Holy Spirit, God's own presence with us, right here and now. F

Jesus Christ - The Savior and Soon Returning King
Who is Jesus Christ? He is not just a man. He is not merely a teacher. He is the eternal Son of God. He always was, and He always will be. This isn’t just theology; it’s life or death. It’s hope in a hopeless world. It’s the difference between wandering and being found. Let’s explore what the Bible says about Him, and why it matters. He Was Born of a Virgin (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31,35) Jesus didn’t come into the world the same way the rest of us did. He was born to a young wo

The Cross and the Cure: God's Rescue for Humanity
The Salvation of Man is not just a tenet of our Christian faith; it is the very heartbeat of it, the crimson thread that weaves through every page of God's story with us.

The Holy Trinity: Unlocking the Mystery of God's Divine Nature
Have you ever heard the term Holy Trinity and wondered what it means? In simple terms, the Holy Trinity is the Christian belief that God is one being but exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. It's a mystery that is hard to fully understand, but the Bible gives us many clues, starting from the very first book, Genesis.

The Amazing Truth About Jesus
Jesus, The Good Shepherd, leaves the 99 to find the one lost lamb When you think about Jesus Christ, what comes to mind? A healer? A teacher? Perhaps you picture him alongside the fishermen who became his Apostles. Maybe you see a compassionate face that saw past sin, disease, and shame to connect with the lost and broken. All these perspectives are accurate, but viewing Jesus solely in these ways is like gazing at the surface of an endless ocean. Today, I invite you to explo

Seeking His Presence in a World of Distractions
Too often, we're caught in the hustle, aren't we? Life moves fast, and even within the Church, there's a pulse to push forward to grow, to be "relevant." But have we paused to ask ourselves what we're growing into? Have we measured the cost of relevance. If it comes at the expense of God's presence? Friends, a church may boast numbers and programs, but without the Spirit's presence, it's a hollow shell, there's no life, no transformation, no power to heal or set captives free
