Have you ever thought you saw clearly, only to realize you were missing something vital? Sometimes what seems like clarity is actually blindness, and what feels like darkness becomes where light breaks through. In John 9, a man born blind challenges our assumptions about suffering. The religious leaders asked, “Who sinned, this man or his […]
Beyond Backwards
There’s something beautifully simple about how we’re made. Our eyes look forward. Our knees bend forward. Cars are shaped to move forward. Even lawnmowers work best when pushed ahead. Creation itself reminds us: we weren’t made for backwards. This isn’t just biological—it’s spiritual. The Danger of Looking Back Imagine backing away from a threat, eyes […]
Yes, It Hurts!
Have you ever said “yes” to something and instantly regretted it? Sometimes obedience is uncomfortable or costly—but what if the most important “yes” of your life is also the one that hurts the most? In our spiritual lives, we often experience different levels of vision. Some are blind to God’s ways, living for themselves. Others […]
Lasting Hope
In a world of disappointment and uncertainty, where do we turn when life gets hard? We all know the sting of unmet expectations — a purchase that disappoints, a relationship that fractures, a dream that stalls. Yet Scripture points us to a hope that does not fail. The Israelites in the wilderness were hungry and […]
Weathering Life’s Storms
Life often feels like sailing through unpredictable waters. One moment, the skies are clear; the next, fierce winds and waves surround us. Storms come in many forms—financial struggles, health crises, broken relationships, or spiritual doubts. In those moments, where do we turn? The story of Jesus walking on water gives us powerful truths about facing […]
Empty Prayer Life?
We’ve all been there. Sitting in a group when someone says, “Would you pray for us?” Suddenly, your heart races, your mind scrambles for the “right” words, and prayer feels less like talking to God and more like performing for people. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re not off track. But it does […]
Carrying Our Friends!
When we think about healing, most of us imagine miraculous recoveries—cancer gone, legs that walk, depression lifted. And while God certainly can heal physically, what if the healing we really need is deeper than that? What if, in God’s eyes, spiritual healing—the kind that restores our soul—is far more important than fixing our broken bodies? […]
Step Into The Light
Many of us grew up hearing John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” It’s the most famous verse in the Bible, seen on billboards, sports jerseys, and even tattooed on arms. But what does […]
Baptism Of Jesus
Deep within, you probably already know the areas in your life that do not honor God. Maybe it’s a relationship that doesn’t reflect His character, a habit that harms you, or how you handle everyday frustrations like road rage or even your thoughts when no one is watching. These areas might feel like small cracks, […]
Pride Takes Over
Nebuchadnezzar was a powerful king, a ruler with unmatched authority. He stood on the rooftop of his palace, marveling at all he had achieved. He saw himself as the source of his greatness, the architect of his success. But God had other plans for this self-exalted king. The very moment Nebuchadnezzar glorified himself, his life […]
