Jesus lovingly knocks on the door of our hearts—not to condemn, but to invite us into deeper intimacy with Him—and when we respond by opening that door, the Holy Spirit fills us with joy, gratitude, and renewed fellowship that no earthly substitute can match. May we never delay in answering His call, but eagerly welcome the One who is altogether lovely.
Just as a husband tenderly prepares and loves his bride, Christ is washing His church with His Word so she will stand before Him radiant and without blemish. Every one of us is being shaped into a beautiful bride for Jesus, and the only proper response is to come to Him, leave our fears behind, and be fully with Him.
You can know Jesus and still feel "stuck".
In a world full of thorns and noise, Jesus invites us to rest under His shade—our protector and provider—reminding us that true love is not a fleeting feeling, but a lasting attachment to the One who gave Himself for us.
We need the right "cheerleaders" around us to encourage us. Do you have godly cheerleaders in your life?
The same God who created our longing for love also invites us into a deeper oneness with Himself — a love story written long before ours began. Just as the bride desired the king's embrace, so we are called to draw near to Jesus, the lover of our souls, whose grace restores every broken heart.
When we look into God's Word, it reflects not only who we are but who we're called to become. Like a skilled physician, the Lord uses His Word to heal our hearts—calling us to not merely hear, but to live transformed lives through obedience and love.
The restoration of Israel reminds us that every promise of God still stands — what He declared thousands of years ago, He continues to fulfill before our very eyes. Let that truth anchor your faith today: if His Word is faithful to a nation, it is faithful to you.
God knows all. Beginning to end, He knows his creation personally. God's love for us transcends all time and space, and He sent his only Son to redeem us from sin and death. We can find comfort in knowing that He's with us always.
In the book of 1 Samuel, we find Israel at a dark moment in history. The people were doing what was right in their own eyes. The priesthood was corrupt. The ark of God would soon be captured. It looked like everything was falling apart.
"And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming." 1 John 2:28
When God says, "I've got a guy..."
The message of Scripture reminds us that Jesus came once as a suffering Savior, and He is coming again as the reigning King of kings and Lord of lords. Because of this hope, we do not live in fear but in readiness, confident that His promises will be fulfilled just as surely as His resurrection was.
Join us as we take a dive into what scripture says about Who Jesus is.
Even when the world grows darker and persecution rises, the story of Stephen reminds us that God's people never lose when they stand firm in the Spirit. Like Stephen, and like many faithful witnesses since, we are called to fix our eyes on Jesus and shine with His truth, knowing the victory belongs to Him.
What's the point of life if everything is meaningless? In this powerful conclusion to Ecclesiastes, Pastor Bill challenges us to remember our Creator, face the reality of death, and embrace the hope of the gospel. Whether you're young or old, this message will help you live with eternity in view.

Ecclesiastes reminds us to cast our bread upon the waters, trusting that in God's timing the return will come; when we sow the Word and give generously, even when it seems uncertain, He brings forth a harvest beyond what we can imagine.

Ecclesiastes 10:8–20 reminds us that life is full of risks and pitfalls, but wisdom guides us safely through them. Foolishness—whether in careless work, reckless words, or lazy leadership—leads to ruin, while wisdom brings success and strength. Ultimately, true wisdom is found in Christ, who gives purpose and direction beyond the vanity of life under the sun.
