Have you ever thought of yourself as a gem in the eyes of God? In today's devotion we'll look at Zachariah 9 to see that even though we know we are imperfect, we are a crowned jewel to the Lord. It's hard to believe that we're that precious to him! We hope you find comfort in this verse and devotion. God bless your time in worship!

The season of American football is almost upon us! That gets a lot of people excited about their favorite pro or college team! What are you looking for in a quarterback? The quarterback is the key player! You want them to be fast, elusive, tall, quick thinking…confident but not arrogant…an encouraging leader. How does a quarterback relate to Jesus?

Do you ever feel like your to do list is a half a mile long and yet your energy to work on it is waining? Instead of feeling energized to tackle it, you're overwhelmed, afraid, or sad…the opposite of thriving. Think about that type of approach to life, which plagues all of us from time to time, compared to someone who doesn't feel overwhelmed but has energy and finds joy in the day to day tasks. I think we'd all agree that we'd prefer to be like the second person! In today's devotion we'll look at Haggai 2:4-5 and see how that possibility is a lot easier than you think!

Do you ever get a song stuck in your head? Sometimes that can be annoying if it's a song that isn't so good. But other times it's invigorating! It can make you feel full of joy and light on your feet! For example, if the song “Amazing Grace” were stuck in your head, that would inspire you and give you such peace! Do you think God ever get's a song stuck in His head? And if He does, what song would it be? In today's devotion we'll look at Zephaniah 3:16,17 and see the amazing truth that God rejoices over us with singing! God bless your time in worship!

There are a lot of names the Bible uses to describe believers. One of the not-so-well known ones is “we are like the feet of a deer”. Deer feet are light, and you've probably seen how they allow a deer to bound along easily. But something you might not have seen about them is that the front toes can dig in and grab difficult terrain. A deer could climb a mountain where many other animals and predators cannot climb. That's the way that the Bible describes believers! Join us as we look at Habakkuk 3:17-19 and discuss this comparison farther! God bless your time in worship!

One is delivered, the other is destroyed, and your relationship with God makes all the difference in the world! Our “Old Testament Gem” for today is from Nahum 1:7-8. The prophet Nahum was different because the message he gave was not to believers, it was directed towards unbelievers from the nation, Assyria. Let's look at this message and rejoice because when all other ground is sinking sand…the Lord is always our refuge! God bless your time in worship!

“Hey, what's new?” Have you said that to anyone lately or had someone say it to you? Sometimes it can be a challenge to come up with something that's “new”. A brand new day, a new pot of coffee…those are ordinary things that we come to expect. There's something else that ordinarily happens each day…the Lord's mercy, which is new everyday!

Have you ever wondered if God cares? Have you ever asked Him, "Why would you let this happen, God?" In today's sermon you'll find peace and answers from a story when the disciples were wondering that same thing. Sometimes Jesus calms the storm, sometimes Jesus lets the storm rage. But in all cases, Jesus calms you! God bless your time worship!

What would you pray if you were stuck in the middle of a fish? As far as we know, there's only one person that can answer that question from experience, and that's Jonah. A far more common question would be… What would you pray if you felt abandoned by God? Banished. Trapped. Terrified. Those feelings also applied to Jonah while he was in the fish but many, many, many people also feel that way. Life isn't always sunshine and roses. We can feel swallowed by the trials of this world. Listen to todays devotion and see what Jonah prayed when he was trapped inside the fish and how we can apply it to our own lives. . God bless your time worship!

When Judgement Day comes, there's no other questions to be asked, no bribery that can be offered to the judge, there's no way to get out of it. When some people think about Judgement Day they can feel scared or anxious about it. People back in Obadiah's day felt the same way. Even though they feared it, they were living God-less lives and seeming like they were getting away with their behavior. Listen to todays message from Obadiah 15-17 and hear God tell them they weren't getting away with it and Judgement Day was coming. May you find peace knowing your sins wiped clean by your faith in Jesus alone! There's no reason to fear Judgment Day! God bless your time worship!

Have you ever considered the alternative of the prayer, “thy will be done”? C.S. Lewis had a quote that said, “There are two types of people in the world, those who say “thy will be done Lord” and then there are people to whom God will say “thy will be done”.” What it means is there are christians who trust Jesus and His will for their life. Then there's people who continue to ignore God and want their way and God says, “fine sinner, have it your way. Your will be done.” To live as though God is not a factor and blame Him for all the wrong in the world would be a cold life leading to separation from Him for eternity. Today we'll look at Amos 8:11-12 when the people were shutting down God's word. May you find peace in trusting God's plan for you and letting His will be done! God bless your time worship!

Last week a storm came through the Houston area and small tornadoes popped up all over. Lots of wind blew through and it unexpectedly left a lot of damage! This storm caused fences, building, and trampolines to be damaged. Just like damage after a storm, we are broken and left in ruins by sin. Today we're going to look at Amos 9:11 and a promise that all hope is not lost. God bless your time in the Word!

Have you ever thought about the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament? Some people have a false impression that the New Testament God is the one they want to spend time with, they see Him as a gentle and loving God. They think the God of the Old Testament is impatient and brings judgement. The truth is that God doesn't change. He is both law and gospel, centering in both the Old Testament and New Testament. Today we'll look at the book of Joel where we see just that… God bless your time in the Word!

Before Jesus ascended into Heaven he proclaimed that His work, providing salvation for sinners, was FINISHED! We want to spread that good news and help people have a taste of the peace you receive when you set your heart on things above instead of worldly things here on Earth! We hold on to the fact that life is all about His kingdom, not ours! It's the best possible way to live! Jesus, come and dwell in my heart. It's all about YOUR Kingdom, not mine!

What is repentance? Repentance is a u-turn, a change of heart. You admit your sin openly without cutting corners or blaming. You are sorry, but instead of trying to be your own savior, you trust in Jesus! You believe you're saved by His finish work and try to change your sinful ways. Listen to these verses from Hosea 13:14 as we hear the prophet Hosea talking to the people of Isreal. God bless your time in the Word!

What a friend we have in Jesus! The definition of a friend could be many different things but one is that a friend is someone who walks in, when everyone else walks out. The night before Jesus died, Jesus said many comforting things to His disciples. He talked about His friendship with them. Join us as we look at John 15:13-16 and find incredible peace in how Jesus is the BEST friend we could ever have. A friendship that's not contingent on how we treat Him or what mood He might be in. A friendship that is always there, arms wide open with love, no matter what! God bless your time in the Word!

Easter People = Sheep. More specifically, Easter people = sheep that trust their good shepherd. Sheep don't have smarts, speed, camouflage, or fangs.

“Why God?” “OUCH, this hurts, God!” “Really, God?” “What did I do to deserve this?” Have you ever felt this way towards God sometimes? It's not done to hurt or destroy you. It's only done so you'll be more fruitful in the end. He is the vine, we are the branch. The present is more important than the past!

What goes into creating a foundation? When you're pouring a foundation for an earthy structure, it takes quite a few people. We recently had foundation poured at our church for our ministry expansion and it took many, many hands! Way to many people to count in order to pour the foundation just as it was supposed to be. However, when you're talking about the foundation of the soul, it's easy to count how many people it takes! Just one. Jesus Christ! Join us for today's devotion as we look at Acts 4:12 and find peace in building a faithful, firm foundation. God bless your time in the Word!

If we're going to be spending eternity together, we may as well start getting along now! You might have heard that motto from christians. People who know they're going to heaven because of the finished work of Christ. When you have that truth in your heart it makes all the difference in the world with how you treat people. Today we're going to look at Acts 4:32-34a and how the christians at that time treated one another. God bless your time in the Word!

Everyone loves a "rags to riches" story, don't they? A story that inspires, motivates, and makes people believe anything is possible. What about a story that's probably more relatable, "riches to rags"? A story when everything seems great but then something happens that changes things for the worst. You lose your job, a relationship becomes broken or goes through a rough patch, unexpected expenses come up and it becomes hard to make ends meet. Listen to today's sermon and find peace no matter what the circumstances..."rags to riches", or "riches to rags"...your heart can be content in God's promises! We are Easter people!

Who else has lived a perfect life of love with no sin, loving every enemy perfectly? Only Jesus! Who else has been offered to live for sinful man? Only Jesus offered to make that trade! Who else rose from the dead having finished His mission, bearing the curse of sin? Only Jesus! Jesus is the only one! Join us for today's Holy Week devotion as we look at Isaiah 53:3-7, 10-11 and even though Isaiah wrote these words in 700BC, it's as though he's standing at the foot of the cross!

What does it mean to “save your own skin?”. The dictionary says it's to remove yourself from a dangerous or unpleasant situation, not caring at all about what happens to anyone else. Our world is full of people who are all about saving their own skin and the world back in Jesus' time was no different. Join us for today's devotion as we look at Luke 23:35-39 and see how the people were only trying to save their own skin and dared Jesus to do the same! God bless your time in the Word!

Wouldn't it be nice to be king or queen for a day? Just think of what you could do! You could give orders instead of taking them. You could wear a crown of jewels and be wealthy beyond compare!

Haș peer pressure ever gotten the best of you? Maybe it's not just a problem for teenagers as any adult would be able to tell you! Having the nicest house, participating in gossip, not speaking up when someone is doing something they shouldn't…there are so many ways we can fall into peer pressure. Peter knows this all too well…let's look at Luke 22:60-62 to hear a story about peer pressure that he went through and how we can learn from it!

Science has a lot of different theories on a variety of topics about our world and universe. How is it that everything else is a possibility, EXCEPT God's word being the truth? What is foolishness? What is wisdom? Am I a fool? Am I wise? How do I know? God's word has a lot to say about that in today's verses from 1 Corinthians chapter 1 that will certainly help us with these questions! God bless your worship.

During the last hours of Jesus' life he was betrayed by Judas, surrounded by enemies, abandoned by his disciples, thrown under the bus by Pontius Pilate, flogged by the soldiers, and then crucified…and yet the Lord sustained Jesus Christ through it all. Think about that today as we look at Psalms 3:1-6.

In this life we will have many happy, good and peaceful times. But we also have difficult times, sad times, exhausting times...even days we feel so consumed and wonder if we'll ever make it through. Despite the ups and downs we can find peace that surpasses all understanding through Christ. The Lord will use different experiences to mature our faith. Listen to this message and may you deny yourself and pick up your cross and follow him!

Have a heartfelt Ash Wednesday! At first it may seem pretty unusual having both Ash Wednesday and Valentines Day fall on the same day! Ash Wednesday is about repentance and solemn mourning over your sin and Valentines Day is about joy, love and togetherness. It might not seem like the best combination but it's actually the PERFECT combination and today's devotion we'll tell you why! We'll be looking at Joel 2:12-13. God bless your time with the Lord and we hope you enjoy this message!

Worship Theme: See the Light! Scriptures to read along with this message.... 2 Kings 2:1-12a See the Light! Elisha saw Elijah taken to heaven in a chariot of fire. This glimpse of God's glory gave him courage as he began his difficult ministry as a prophet. Psalm 2 Because Jesus is ruling over all things at all times, we have confidence in his victory over sin. Martin Luther said, “Psalm 2 is a prophecy of how Christ will suffer and become King and Lord of the entire world. This psalm promises that those who believe in Christ will be blessed. Through Christ, God has delivered us from sin, death and hell and brought us to eternal life! This is the blessing we pray for in the Second Petition of the Lord's Prayer, that his kingdom come.” 2 Corinthians 4:3-7 (sermon verses) See the Light! By nature we are all blinded by a veil of sin. But Jesus' glory has ripped through the veil and brought us out of the darkness and into the light! Mark 9:2-9 See the Light! Approximately one month before his crucifixion, Jesus' glory shined brightly as he transfigured himself. There was absolutely no doubt that he is, and always will be, true God!
