When Worry Becomes a Way of Life
on February 8th, 2026
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?” - Matthew 6:25Worry has a way of sneaking in quietly and then settling deep. It moves from a passing thought to a constant presence. Many people are carrying anxiety about jobs, health, finances, leadership, and the fu... Read More

Clearing the View So Christ Can Be Seen
on February 7th, 2026
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” - Matthew 16:24–25Sometimes the hardest part of following Jesus is recognizing what needs to move out of the way. Not everything that looks religious actually help... Read More

When the Cross Loses Its Meaning
on February 6th, 2026
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. - 1 Corinthians 1:18The cross still has power, but it does not always carry the same meaning it once did. Over time, something meant to represent sacrifice and love can become familiar and harmless. When that happens, the cross can lose its ability to challenge us.Jesus knew His w... Read More

Faith That Chooses People Over Profit
on February 5th, 2026
“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” - Matthew 16:26Jesus asked this question in today’s key verse because He knew how easily people confuse success with faithfulness. Gaining the world can look impressive on the outside, but it can quietly hollow us out on the inside. Jesus was not speaking agains... Read More

God Meets You Where You Are
on February 4th, 2026
When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. – Acts 2:6From the very beginning, God has worked through people’s real lives, real cultures, and real stories. When the Holy Spirit moved in the early church, people heard the message in their own languages. God did not ask them to become someone else first.The cross was neve... Read More

Power Was Never the Point
on February 3rd, 2026
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant. – Matthew 20:26Jesus spent a lot of time correcting misunderstandings about power. His disciples expected Him to overthrow Rome and establish dominance. Instead, He talked about servanthood. He told them that greatness in God’s kingdom looks nothing like greatness in the world.The cross makes this clear. It was... Read More

The Cost of Carrying the Cross
on February 2nd, 2026
And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. – Luke 14:27Jesus was very clear about one thing. Following Him would cost something. He said plainly that whoever does not carry their cross and follow Him cannot be His disciple. That statement was not meant to be dramatic. It was meant to be honest.In Jesus’ time, the cross was a symbol of suffering and humiliation. Peo... Read More

When Faith Blocks the View
on February 1st, 2026
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” – Matthew 16:24There are moments when something meant to help us see God more clearly actually makes it harder to see Him at all. Jesus talked about this long before crosses were worn around necks or placed on church buildings. When He said, “If anyone would come after me... Read More

The Wall Rose Because the People Did Not Quit
on January 31st, 2026
“So the wall was finished in fifty-two days.” - Nehemiah 6:15 Restoration rarely happens in ideal conditions. Most rebuilding starts while pressure is still present. Fear hasn’t left. Fatigue hasn’t lifted. Problems haven’t magically resolved. Many people assume progress depends on circumstances improving first. Scripture shows something different. Sometimes restoration comes simply because people... Read More

A Mind to Work in the Middle of Weariness
on January 30th, 2026
“The people had a mind to work.” - Nehemiah 4:6 Weariness doesn’t usually announce itself all at once. It creeps in through long days, half-finished progress, and problems that don’t seem to end. At some point, you realize your body is tired, your emotions are thin, and fear is sitting closer than you’d like. In moments like that, continuing the work can feel unreasonable, especially when rest sou... Read More

Building Without Responding to the Mockery
on January 29th, 2026
“So we built the wall, and all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.” - Nehemiah 4:6 If you aren’t careful, mockery has a way of pulling you off task. It questions motives. It exaggerates flaws. It tries to bait you into explaining yourself. When you’re rebuilding something meaningful, criticism often comes wrapped in sarcasm instead of substance. The ... Read More

When Opposition Shows Up Mid-Progress
on January 28th, 2026
“When Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became angry and was greatly incensed.” - Nehemiah 4:1 Opposition has a way of showing up at the worst possible time. Not when you were broken. Not when everything was quiet. It comes once you finally start rebuilding. You take a step forward, momentum begins to form, and suddenly, criticism gets louder. Questions turn sharp. Motives get q... Read More

Shutdown Does Not Mean Finished
on January 27th, 2026
“For the vision awaits an appointed time. It hastens to the end. It will not lie.” - Habakkuk 2:3 Shutdowns have a way of messing with your sense of direction. Something you were building slows down or stops altogether. Plans get shelved. Momentum disappears. The quiet that follows feels heavier than the work ever did. When nothing is moving, it’s easy to assume the story must be over, as if delay... Read More

Where Faith and Fear Collide
on January 26th, 2026
“I believe. Help my unbelief.” - Mark 9:24 There are moments when faith and fear exist at the same time, and that tension can feel confusing. You trust God, but worry still shows up. You believe He is good, yet uncertainty keeps tapping you on the shoulder. Many people assume this mixture means something is wrong with their faith, as if belief and fear are not allowed to share the same space. Scri... Read More

Saying What Hurts When God Is in the Room
on January 25th, 2026
“Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.” - Psalm 62:8 Some people learn early to clean up their prayers. You thank God. You stay polite. You avoid the parts that feel messy or angry or confusing. Over time, honesty gets replaced with habit. You still pray, but you leave the sharp edges out. Pain gets translated into something safer, as if God can only handle the filtered version o... Read More

Doubt as a Doorway
on January 24th, 2026
“Do not disbelieve, but believe.” - John 20:27 Doubt usually gets treated like a problem to fix or a threat to avoid. People lower their voices when they talk about it. Questions feel dangerous, like admitting them might undo everything you believe. Many assume that real faith means never wondering, never hesitating, never asking hard questions. Scripture does not support that assumption. Thomas i... Read More

When You Need an Encounter for Yourself
on January 23rd, 2026
“My Lord and my God.” - John 20:28 At some point, borrowed faith starts feeling thin. Believing because your parents believed. Trusting God because your community does. Showing up because that is what you have always done. Those things can carry you for a while, but eventually life asks harder questions. Pain hits. Disappointment lingers. Answers feel distant. Suddenly, you realize you cannot live... Read More

Locked Doors Do Not Stop Jesus
on January 22nd, 2026
“The doors were locked where the disciples were, but Jesus came and stood among them.” - John 20:19 Fear has a way of shrinking the world down to whatever room you can control. After loss or shock, safety starts to matter more than movement. Doors get locked, not just physically but internally. You keep conversations short. You limit expectations. You stay close to what feels familiar because grie... Read More
