Luke 6:44 Just like an apple tree can’t grow thorns, and a grapevine can’t produce figs, our actions, words, and attitudes reveal what’s rooted deep within us. If our hearts are grounded in Christ, the fruit that shows will be love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. But when we allow worry,… Continue reading September 26th – Luke 6:44

April 11th – Matthew 12:23-24
Matthew 12:23-24 There’s something so beautiful and deeply humbling about the image of a seed falling into the ground and dying in order to bring forth life. Jesus spoke this truth just days before the Cross. His own life was the seed. Jesus knew that only through His death could true life come to us.… Continue reading April 11th – Matthew 12:23-24
August 5th – Ephesians 2:8-9
Week 1 - Understanding Faith (Ephesians 2:8-9) The apostle Paul lets us know in no uncertain terms that our salvation is entirely due to God's grace, and not our own efforts.

May 22nd – Zechariah 14:3
Zechariah 14:3 In the quiet hush of dawn, Christ first came. He came not with the roar of a Lion but with the tender grace of a Lamb, walking amongst us in humility and love.

May 19th – 1 Thessalonians 5:18
1 Thessalonians 5:18 In 1 Thessalonians 5:18 the apostle Paul urges us to, "give thanks in all circumstances.” A challenging call when we witness Israel under attack, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and deep divisions within our own country. Divisions between friends, loved ones, and even the church. All that turmoil can make gratitude seem… Continue reading May 19th – 1 Thessalonians 5:18
May 14th – Titus 2:13-14
Titus 2:13-14 The apostle Paul reminds us of the blessed hope we have in Jesus Christ. And how, through His sacrifice, we have been purified and set apart for His glory. But what does that mean?

April 15th – 1 John 1:7
1 John 1:7 I love the quote by Dodi Smith which says, “I suppose the best kind of spring morning is the best weather God has to offer.” There’s nothing better than a spring dawn overflowing with sunshine. So as the days grow longer and the light shines brighter, let us heed the call of… Continue reading April 15th – 1 John 1:7
April 12th – Ephesians 2:8-9
Ephesians 2:8-9 There’s nothing more refreshing than spring rain. And like the rain that falls freely from the sky, God freely pours out His grace upon us. So just as the earth receives the life-giving rain, let us humbly accept His grace with hearts full of gratitude. For no matter how great we may see… Continue reading April 12th – Ephesians 2:8-9
March 31st – Matthew 28:5-6
Matthew 28:5-6 Easter is the pinnacle of the Christian calendar. And it’s a celebration of profound significance and joy.
