Shift Your Focus
on July 9th, 2024
"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."- Genesis 50:20 I want you to understand something today: if you never heal from what hurt you, you’ll bleed on people who never cut you. Jesus understood that His assignment wasn’t to bleed "on" people but to bleed "for" them. For Jesus, this shift came in the form of asking no... Read More

Try Not to Take It Personal
on July 8th, 2024
"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."- Colossians 3:13 Healing after being hurt is tough because our natural inclination is to take it personally. This is where all those “how could they do this” and “how could they hurt me like that” thoughts come from. But by stepping back and gaining some perspective, we ... Read More

on July 7th, 2024
"Jesus replied, 'Do what you came for, friend.' Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested him." - Matthew 26:50 We’ve established that life is not perfect, and neither are people.

People Are Not Perfect Either
on July 6th, 2024
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."- Matthew 7:1-2 Building on the idea that life is not perfect, it’s crucial to remember that people are not perfect either.

Life is Not Perfect
on July 5th, 2024
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." - 2 Corinthians 12:9 Life is not perfect. We see this when we look at one of Jesus’ disciples, Judas. The reason many people get thrown off by the selection of Judas is because they think that a perfect, all-knowing God ought to be able to create a perfect situation to fulfill His perfect plan. They struggle to understa... Read More

The Winding Path
on July 3rd, 2024
"The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." - Proverbs 16:9 Our journey with God is not always linear. It’s easy to think that once we start following Christ, everything will move smoothly from bad to good on a straight path. But in reality, our walk with God often looks more like a winding road with unexpected turns, detours, and sometimes even setbacks. Take the life... Read More

"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men." - Colossians 3:23 Think about the platform God has given you.
