Just like guardrails on the road protect us from danger and keep us on the right path, God has given us His Word to set healthy boundaries for our lives. These are not restrictions meant to hold us back, but guidelines designed to keep us safe, secure, and moving forward in His will. This week, we will discuss how God's guardrails—His commands, wisdom, and truth—protect us from harm, guide our decisions, and lead us into the freedom of living within His design.

Life isn't always easy—sometimes it feels like we're surrounded by challenges, opposition, and distractions, like weeds choking out the good seed that we are planting. But Jesus reminds us in the Parable of the Weeds (Matthew 13) that the wheat and the weeds grow together until the harvest and that no matter the attempts of the enemy, we need to stand firm until the end. Join me this week for a powerful message of encouragement and hope.
