Ephesians 2:22 At Christmas, we celebrate the moment Jesus stepped into the world as the foundation of everything God was building. He came quietly and humbly, yet strong enough to hold every life together. God’s church isn’t just a place we gather, it’s made up of people. And each one is intentionally placed and deeply… Continue reading December 17th – Ephesians 2:22

December 16th – 1 Peter 2:9
1 Peter 2:9 One of the things I’m most thankful for is how God, in His great mercy, choose us and called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.

December 11th – Titus 2:14
Titus 2:14 Pastor Paul David Tripp once said, “The good news of the kingdom is not freedom from hardship, suffering, and loss. It is the news of a Redeemer who has come to rescue me from myself."

December 10th – John 4:14
John 4:14 At Christmastime, I’m reminded that Jesus isn’t just a baby in a manger. He is the Living Water for my soul, poured out in love for a thirsty world.

November 27th – 1 Thessalonians 5:18
1 Thessalonians 5:18 Thanksgiving has a way of slowing us down just long enough to notice the goodness we often rush past. 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
November 25th – Psalm 105:1-5
Psalm 105:1-5 Every now and then Facebook shows me a memory I didn’t even remember I had. It brings up pictures of laughter, moments of answered prayer, or seasons I didn’t realize God was carrying me through at the time. It always surprises me how quickly we move on from things we once thanked Him… Continue reading November 25th – Psalm 105:1-5
November 20th – Psalm 5:7
Psalm 5:7 There’s something so awe-inspiring about coming before God with a heart full of reverence. And the more I reflect on His greatness, the more humbled I am by His presence.

November 13th – 2 Corinthians 9:8
2 Corinthians 9:8 Every year as Thanksgiving approaches, I feel both excitement and a little bit overwhelmed. Because my house is the gathering place. I love how family fills every room, laughter spills from the kitchen, and the smell of turkey and pies fills the air. It’s a beautiful time, but I won’t lie. It’s… Continue reading November 13th – 2 Corinthians 9:8
