New Methods, Same Mission
by Ministry Support on October 9th, 2025
“What God has made clean, do not call common” – Acts 10:15 The entire tenth chapter of Acts tells the story of two very different men. Peter, a Jewish follower of Jesus, and Cornelius, a Roman centurion. One man was raised under strict tradition and religious law. The other was seen by Peter’s people as an outsider and an enemy. But in this powerful moment, God stepped in and shattered every human...  Read More

Don’t Overlook Your Blessings
by Ministry Support on October 8th, 2025
"In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will" – Ephesians 1:11 There was a young man who used to spend time with a friend’s family often enough that he almost became like one of their own. They would take him to dinner, buy him things at the mall, and even gift him a leather jacket once. Y...  Read More

The Blessing of Reward
by Ministry Support on October 7th, 2025
"In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will" – Ephesians 1:11 God never asks you to live for Him without promising that something is waiting on the other side. As Paul continues his letter to the Ephesians, he points to one final spiritual blessing from God the Son that must not be overlo...  Read More

The Blessing of Responsibility
by Ministry Support on October 6th, 2025
"Making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ" - Ephesians 1:9 There’s something powerful that often gets overlooked when we talk about blessings. And that is that blessings always carry responsibility. God never blesses just to bless. He blesses so that you and I can steward what we’ve been given. That’s exactly what Paul is getting at when he...  Read More

The Blessing of Revelation
by Ministry Support on October 5th, 2025
"Making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ" - Ephesians 1:9 When you think of blessings from God, revelation might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But Paul wants you to understand that one of the greatest gifts you’ve been given in Christ is the ability to see. To see what? To see the will of God for your life. To see with clarity...  Read More

Back in Right Standing
by Ministry Support on October 4th, 2025
“In him we have…the forgiveness of our trespasses” - Ephesians 1:7 One of the most beautiful truths about our relationship with Jesus is that we are not only redeemed, we are also reconciled. Redemption paid the debt. Reconciliation restored the relationship. Paul says that in Christ, we have the forgiveness of our trespasses. That means God not only saw the offense. He also made the first move to...  Read More

Redeemed and Set Free
by Ministry Support on October 3rd, 2025
“In him we have redemption through his blood” - Ephesians 1:7 Before you ever tried to get your life together, before you ever made a decision to follow Jesus, before you even realized how lost you were, He had already made the move to redeem you. The first blessing we have from God the Son is redemption. That word isn’t just church language. It means something real. It means to be bought back, re...  Read More

More Blessed Than You Think
by Ministry Support on October 2nd, 2025
“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace” - Ephesians 1:7 You really are more blessed than you realize. Maybe you don’t feel it because your bank account is low or your dreams are still sitting on the shelf. Maybe you’ve convinced yourself that being blessed means being visibly successful, but God sees blessing differentl...  Read More

Count the Right Blessings
by Ministry Support on October 1st, 2025
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.” - Ephesians 1:3 There’s an old hymn that says, “Count your many blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.” It’s a song we’ve heard before, but one that hits different when you’re under pressure. When life gets heavy and...  Read More

Equipped in Motion
by Ministry Support on September 30th, 2025
“The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still.” – Exodus 14:14 We often assume that before God calls us into something, He will hand us everything we need upfront. We picture Him stacking our toolbox with every skill, resource, and connection we could possibly require before we take the first step. But in Scripture, that is rarely how God works. More often, He equips us in motion. Think ...  Read More

Equipped for the Call
by Ministry Support on September 29th, 2025
“The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:24 When God calls you to something, He never leaves you to figure it out on your own. He does not hand you an assignment and then step back to see if you can handle it by your own strength. If He calls you to it, He will equip you for it. That’s a promise we can hold on to, even when the journey feels overwhelming. Equippi...  Read More

Never Canceled
by Ministry Support on September 28th, 2025
“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” – Romans 11:29 If God has placed a calling on your life, no one else gets the final say about whether or not you can walk in it. People may try to slow you down. They may question your qualifications, criticize your approach, or even bring up your past to discredit you. But the truth is, they don’t have the authority to cancel what God has al...  Read More

Be Secure in Yourself
by Ministry Support on September 27th, 2025
“But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being.” – Galatians 1:15-16 Paul never tried to hide his past or pretend he had always been a follower of Jesus. He admitted openly that he once persecuted the church and tried to dest...  Read More

Break the Box
by Ministry Support on September 26th, 2025
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” – Galatians 5:1 Some people spend their whole lives trying to fit into boxes that were never meant for them. Boxes made of cultural expectations, family traditions, or even church rules that God never required. These boxes can be subtle or obvious, but they all have ...  Read More

Stop Trying to Fit Their Box
by Ministry Support on September 25th, 2025
“Am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” – Galatians 1:10 The apostle Paul knew what it was like to be put in a box. People had a long list of reasons why they thought he was unqualified to be an apostle. He was not one of the original twelve. He never walked side-by-side with Jesus li...  Read More

Get Out of the Box
by Ministry Support on September 24th, 2025
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind…” – Romans 12:2 You may not be able to fold yourself into a tiny glass box like a contortionist, but many people spend their lives doing something similar. They twist and bend themselves into shapes that were never meant for them, trying to fit into boxes that God never designed them for. For some, it is the career ...  Read More

In the Middle of the Mess
by Ministry Support on September 23rd, 2025
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28 The Bible is full of examples. Abraham was old, Joseph was abused, Moses stuttered, Rahab had a sinful past, David failed morally, Elijah battled despair, and Paul struggled with poor health. None of them had flawless circumstances, but all of them were used...  Read More

Start Walking
by Ministry Support on September 22nd, 2025
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” – Exodus 14:14 If you are waiting for every obstacle to disappear before you start walking in your calling, you will be waiting for the rest of your life. The truth is, there will always be something in the way. There will always be unanswered questions, resistance from others, and moments where you feel underqualified. We tell ourselves, “...  Read More

Stop Running
by Ministry Support on September 21st, 2025
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” – Deuteronomy 31:6 When life gets uncomfortable, the instinct to run can be strong. It’s easier to avoid the hard conversation than to have it. It’s easier to quit the job than to push through the conflict. It’s easier to distance yourself from th...  Read More

A Firm Foundation for Your Worth
by Ministry Support on September 20th, 2025
“So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?’” – Hebrews 13:6 When you let other people’s opinions dictate how you see yourself, you will never stand on solid ground. The pressure to keep up, impress, or match what someone else is doing will have you constantly shifting, adjusting, and second-guessing who God made you to be. I remember t...  Read More

Secure in Your Own Path
by Ministry Support on September 19th, 2025
“Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else.” – Galatians 6:4 Comparison will drain your joy faster than almost anything else. It will make you feel like you’re always behind, never enough, and constantly missing out. The truth is, much of the dissatisfaction people feel today is not because their life is lacki...  Read More

Secure in Who You Are
by Ministry Support on September 18th, 2025
“Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you will not need to compare yourself to anyone else.” – Galatians 6:4Some people seem to get all the attention. Their accomplishments are talked about, their names are remembered, and their stories get told again and again. Then there are others who work just as faithfully, put in the same dedi...  Read More

Use What You Have
by Ministry Support on September 17th, 2025
“But Moses said to the Lord, ‘Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent…’ The Lord said to him, ‘What is that in your hand?’ ‘A staff,’ he replied.” – Exodus 4:10, 2 Shamgar’s story in Judges 3 is easy to miss, but it holds a powerful truth. While others in Israel’s history fought with swords, spears, or entire armies, Shamgar defended God’s people with nothing more than an ox goad (a ...  Read More

Stop Waiting for the Perfect Situation
by Ministry Support on September 16th, 2025
"But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’" – 2 Corinthians 12:9 Yesterday, we looked at Shamgar, a man in the book of Judges who made an impact for God despite a less-than-ideal background. Today I want to share another story that carries the same message, but from a different angle. A young pastor once wrote to his mentor asking for a recommen...  Read More

Flourishing Despite Your Background
by Ministry Support on September 15th, 2025
"But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.'" – 1 Samuel 16:7 Tucked away in the book of Judges is a man named Shamgar. His story is short, but powerful. Judges 3:31 tells us he was one of Israel’s judges, a leader G...  Read More

Trust Beyond Yourself
by Ministry Support on September 14th, 2025
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." – Proverbs 3:5 It is natural to rely on what we know, what we can do, and what we can control. We measure situations by our skills, our resources, and our experience. But if we are honest, there are moments in life when what we have simply is not enough. Our abilities have limits, but God’s power does not. Trusting...  Read More

Lead With Courage
by Ministry Support on September 13th, 2025
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." – Joshua 1:9 Leadership is not just about titles or positions. It is about influence, and influence requires courage. Leading with courage means you are willing to do what is right even when it is not popular, to make hard decisions even when they a...  Read More

Standing Firm in What You Believe
by Ministry Support on September 12th, 2025
"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong." – 1 Corinthians 16:13 Most people go through life without ever deciding what they truly stand for. They move with the current of popular opinion, changing their stance depending on the situation or the crowd they are in. But someone who is grounded in their convictions is different. They are not swayed by trends or outside pressure b...  Read More

Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing
by Ministry Support on September 11th, 2025
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." – Matthew 6:33 Life is full of distractions. Opportunities, responsibilities, entertainment, ambitions, and everyday demands constantly pull for our attention. None of these things are necessarily wrong, but they can easily crowd out the most important thing, our commitment to God’s purpose for ou...  Read More

The Reward of Walking in Integrity
by Ministry Support on September 10th, 2025
"Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways." – Proverbs 28:6 Integrity is not just about the words you speak in public. It is about the life you live when no one is looking. It is about being the same person in private as you are in public. In a world full of image management, where people say what others want to hear just to gain approval, integrit...  Read More

Work Like It’s for the Lord
by Ministry Support on September 9th, 2025
"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men." – Colossians 3:23 How many people do you know who are constantly seeking shortcuts in life? The fastest way to make money. The easiest way to get in shape. The simplest way to grow an audience. And while there is nothing wrong with being efficient, there is a big difference between working wisely and cutting corners. God did not ca...  Read More

Move in Quiet Obedience

"But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing." – Matthew 6:3 It is easy to get caught up in announcing your next big move. Social media makes it even easier. A new job, a big project, a ministry idea, a business launch. Before it even starts, many people rush to tell the world. But often, when we spend more time talking about what we are going to do...  Read More

Let Your Yes Be Yes
by Ministry Support on September 7th, 2025
"Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil." – Matthew 5:37 In a world full of empty promises, God calls His people to be different. Words are not meant to be tossed around carelessly. They carry weight, and when we speak, we are accountable for what we say. Being a person who keeps their word is not just about good manners; it is about integrity. When you t...  Read More

Influence for Impact
by Ministry Support on September 6th, 2025
"Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves." – Philippians 2:3 Influence and resources are gifts from God. Whether it is money, a platform, a skill set, or a position of authority, these things are entrusted to you for a purpose. The problem is that in today’s culture, most people treat influence as a spotlight to shine on themselves...  Read More

Steady Under Pressure
by Ministry Support on September 5th, 2025
"Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." – 1 Corinthians 15:58 Life has a way of revealing what we are made of when the pressure turns up. Anyone can be pleasant when things are going their way, but the real test of character is how you respond when the bottom drops out. Do you stay steady, or do you let the storm cont...  Read More

The Strength of a Humble Spirit
by Ministry Support on September 4th, 2025
"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you." – James 4:10 We live in a time when self-promotion is not only common but it is celebrated. People are told to market themselves, to make sure their voice is heard, and to fight for recognition. Everywhere you turn, the message is the same: prove your worth by putting yourself in the spotlight. Yet the way of Jesus points in the opposite ...  Read More

The Strength of Character

“The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.” – Proverbs 11:3 Character is who you are when no one is watching. It is the sum of your values, convictions, and choices over time. While personality may attract people and skills may open doors, it is character that determines whether those relationships last and whether you can be trusted with great...  Read More

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” – 1 Corinthians 16:13 In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about what it means to be a “high-value man.” Popular voices have offered their own lists, things like making a certain amount of money, being in the right social circles, having a certain physical build, or reaching a specific level of status. While some of these qu...  Read More

When Pretending Breaks You
by Ministry Support on August 31st, 2025
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7 One of the greatest weights you can carry is the pressure to act like everything is fine. Some of us aren’t just dealing with hard circumstances, we’re drained from pretending we’re not. You feel the push to smile when you’d rather cry. To hold it all in when your heart’s about to burst. But God never asked you to carry that ki...  Read More
