As the table fills and familiar faces gather, we’re reminded that gratitude isn’t just a holiday tradition, it’s a posture God invites us to carry every day. God calls us to give thanks… Continue reading November 27th – 1 Thessalonians 5:18

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

June 11th – Matthew 12:31
Matthew 12:31 “And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.” When my son was little we would talk about sin and God’s forgiveness.

May 7th – Lamentations 3:22-23
Lamentations 3:22-23 It’s hard for me to read the book of Lamentations without a lump in my throat. Because its pages are filled with the pain of the prophet Jeremiah. He grieves over the destruction of Jerusalem at the hands of the Babylonians. Yet even in the midst of desolation and despair, Jeremiah had a… Continue reading May 7th – Lamentations 3:22-23
May 4th – Job 42:10
Job 42:10 The phrase, don’t judge a book by its cover doesn’t just apply to people, but also situations. When Job’s friends saw his misfortune they were sure he deserved it. They assumed, incorrectly, that Job was suffering because he had sinned against God. How many times as Christians do we do the same? How… Continue reading May 4th – Job 42:10
