Tap here to send us a message!The Word of God is an unshakable foundation—unchanging, eternal, and forever settled in heaven. Its power transcends time, culture, and circumstance, bringing light, order, and life wherever it is spoken. In a world of shifting values and fleeting truths, the Word stands immovable, a rock of divine authority that never fails.05/15/2025 - Thursday NightScriptures:Psalm 119:89-96Psalm 121:4Jeremiah 30:11Psalm 9:5, 9:7, 10:16, 19:9, 23:6, 28:9, 33:11, 37:18, 37:28, 45:6, 48:8, 52:5, 52:8, 72:17Hebrews 1:3Colossians 1:17I Peter 1:6-7Colossians 1:13Ephesians 2:10

Tap here to send us a message!When the weight of life bears down and weariness sets in, it's easy to confuse the stress of our circumstances with the burden of doing good—and we begin to wonder if we have the strength to keep going. But Scripture reminds us that in these moments, we are not called to retreat, but to lean deeper into the presence of God. In His Spirit, we find the rest our souls are desperate for and the renewal we need to rise and keep fighting.05/08/2025 - Thursday NightScriptures:Genesis 27:46Galatians 6:9-10II Thessalonians 3:13Genesis 26:35Proverbs 4:23Ecclesiastes 12:12II Corinthians 11:23-30Isaiah 40:28-31

Tap here to send us a message!The greatest battle we face each day is fought in the mind—the struggle to believe that God is truly for us, not against us. It's the war between truth and lies, where we must hold fast to the promise that we are not beyond repair and that His strength is made perfect in our weakness. In Christ, we are not victims of fear or despair, but overcomers called to walk in peace, victory, and purpose.05/04/2025 - Sunday Afternoon Scriptures:Colossians 1:19-22Genesis 3:13II Corinthians 11:3Proverbs 23:7Job 3:25II Corinthians 4:4Philippians 4:8I Corinthians 2:16II Timothy 1:7Isaiah 26:3Ephesians 4:22-24I Corinthians 2:14Romans 8:5-11Philippians 2:5Jeremiah 10:23II Corinthians 10:3-5Colossians 1:19-22John 8:24, 31, 32, 34, 36

Tap here to send us a message!There are divine moments when God reaches out, not just to speak but to see who will respond with hunger and surrender. In those sacred encounters, Heaven leans in and waits for a heart to cry out, "Here I am, Lord, I want You." Every believer must recognize that moment in their life and respond with earnest desire for the presence of God.05/01/2025 - Thursday NightScriptures:Exodus 3:1-4Genesis 22:1Genesis 3:8-10

Tap here to send us a message!The enemy constantly tries to lure us into a dangerous comparison — measuring our strength against his attacks — leaving us feeling defeated before the battle even begins. But victory was never meant to come from our own limited abilities; it flows from the limitless power of an immeasurable God. When we shift our focus from our weakness to His greatness, we step into the complete triumph He has already secured for us.04/27/2025 - Sunday AfternoonScriptures:John 3:31-34John 4:24John 1:1-5Isaiah 66:1Psalm 8:3Ephesians 3:20I Samuel 17:4-7, 33-35

Tap here to send us a message!Life's battles can leave us feeling worn down, but every trial we endure becomes part of the powerful testimony God is writing through us. What the enemy meant to destroy us only proves that by God's grace, we are still standing. Our testimony is not just our survival story — it is the weapon God gives us to overcome the attacks of the devil.04/24/2025 - Thursday Night Scriptures:Job 1:13-20Ezekiel 33:21Deuteronomy 19:15Acts 1:8Revelation 12:10-111 John 1:1-4Revelation 11:4-7

Tap here to send us a message!The sacrifice Jesus made on Calvary is beyond comprehension — why would He pour out such grace on a world so unworthy? Many reject His love because they feel too lost to be forgiven, yet He died precisely for those who feel they don't deserve it. Jesus gave His life so that we could have life, obey His Word, be filled with His Spirit, and spend eternity with Him.04/20/2025 - Resurrection SundayScriptures:I Corinthians 1:18-29Psalm 22:6-8I Corinthians 1:18Luke 22:44, 23:42-43Lamentations 3:22-23Hebrews 2:3

Tap here to send us a message!In seasons of weakness and weariness, the psalmist poured out his heart, feeling as though he might utterly fail—yet he remained faithful to God. Likewise, we will face hardships, betrayal, and moments when our strength seems to vanish, but we are called to anchor ourselves in His Word and trust in His unfailing promises. When everything else shakes, our faithfulness to Him must remain steadfast, for it is there we find true life and hope.04/17/2025 - Thursday NightScriptures:Psalm 119:81-88Proverbs 13:12Psalm 13:1Psalm 90:13Isaiah 8:17James 3:5-6Matthew 12:36Psalm 119:33Galatians 6:9

Tap here to send us a message!Peter prayed two unforgettable prayers—one in shame, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man,” and one in desperation, crying out, “Lord, save me!” In the first, he believed he was too far gone; in the second, he discovered the only one who could reach him. At the heart of every need, failure, or storm is the same answer: Jesus, save me!04/06/2025 - Sunday AfternoonScriptures:Luke 5:3-8Matthew 14:29-32Matthew 16:26Psalm 107:13Matthew 6:7-8Luke 5:5-8Romans 3:23

Tap here to send us a message!No matter how shattered life may seem, there is always hope when Jesus is in the picture—He specializes in restoring what others would throw away. The beauty of the Gospel is that broken people aren't disqualified; they are the very ones Jesus came for. Hope is the audacity to believe that maybe the same God who healed, delivered, and transformed others will do the same in my life.04/03/2025 - Thursday NightScriptures:Ezra 10:2

Tap here to send us a message!King Herod stands as a stark warning of what happens when a person chooses to sit on the throne of their own life, determined to do whatever it takes to make themselves the king of their domain. His relentless pursuit of power is a mirror for each of us, showing the spiritual danger of letting our own desires and ambitions rule us, rather than submitting to God's authority. To follow Christ means rejecting the temptation to be our own ruler, surrendering every area of our lives to His control, and allowing Jesus alone to reign as the King.03/30/2025 - Sunday Afternoon Scriptures:Proverbs 21:1Proverbs 12:21Proverbs 22:6Acts 2:37-38Matthew 21:44Matthew 16:24-26

Tap here to send us a message!In the book of Genesis, we meet Pharez, a child who broke through against the odds to claim the birthright and blessing as the firstborn, setting in motion a legacy of greatness that would ultimately flow into the bloodline of Jesus Himself. This breakthrough spirit didn't end with Pharez—it marked generations of overcomers who did the impossible. In the same way, we are called to break free from earthly and generational limitations, stepping into victory as heirs of Christ through His name and His Spirit!03/23/2025 - Sunday AfternoonScriptures:Genesis 38:27-30Ruth 4:12-13, 18-22Matthew 11:12Ruth 4:12Acts 2:38

Tap here to send us a message!Life has a way of breaking our faith into pieces, leaving us struggling to believe.

In His presence, He strengthens us, renews our trust, and gives us the faith we need to move forward.03/13/2025 - Thursday NightScriptures:Mark 9:14-24Hebrews 11:1-2II Timothy 4:7Hebrews 11:6Romans 12:3

Tap here to send us a message!The book of Luke tells us about a group of leprous men who were healed by Jesus, yet only one returned to give Him thanks and worship.

No matter the circumstances that bring us to Jesus, we must respond with unwavering trust, believing that He will always honor sincere faith.03/09/2025 - Sunday Afternoon Scriptures:Titus 3:5-6Luke 17:11-19

Tap here to send us a message!Acts 20 tells the story of a young man who became too comfortable in church and drifted into sleep.

Every child of God must wake up to the reality of how blessed we are and approach every service with an urgency to draw closer to Him.03/06/2025 - Thursday NightScriptures:Acts 20:7-12

Tap here to send us a message!Every believer will face a season of sifting—a process that will either refine them or drive them away from the church. How they respond determines the outcome.
