Hearing God After Loss
on May 24th, 2025
"Now the Lord said to Abram, 'Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.'" - Genesis 12:1 Abram’s story didn’t start in a place of success. It started in a place of loss. By the time God called him in Genesis 12, he had already experienced deep pain and disappointment. His brother had died. His father had passed away. His wife couldn’t have chil...  Read More

The Bounce Back
on May 23rd, 2025
"For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity." - Proverbs 24:16 Everyone loves a comeback story. But what we often forget is that every great comeback starts with a setback. Even the greatest of all time, Michael Jordan, understood this. He said, “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trus...  Read More

Lessons in Losing
on May 22nd, 2025
"But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:13-14 Losing hurts. Whether it’s a missed opportunity, a failed attempt, or a setback you didn’t see coming, it’s never easy to fall short of something you’ve been working toward. And it’s even harder when it...  Read More

God Works Through Your Faithfulness
on May 21st, 2025
"For nothing will be impossible with God." - Luke 1:37 Sometimes the hardest part of faith is simply not giving up. It’s one thing to have faith when everything is going well, but it’s something else entirely to keep moving forward when life feels like an endless uphill climb. The Israelites marched around Jericho, day after day, in the heat and in their exhaustion. They weren’t given immediate re...  Read More

Faith That Transforms
on May 20th, 2025
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed." - Luke 4:18 Faith in Jesus is powerful. It changes lives, heals the broken, and brings freedom to the bound. But sometimes, people forget that faith was never meant to b...  Read More

Take Action
on May 19th, 2025
"Why are we sitting here until we die?" - 2 Kings 7:3 Sometimes, waiting feels easier than taking action. But when you look at scripture, real breakthroughs happen when people decide to get up and do something about their situation. Take the four lepers in 2 Kings 7, who were sitting outside the city during a time of famine. They asked themselves a powerful question: “Why are we sitting here until...  Read More

Naming Your Walls
on May 18th, 2025
“What is your name?” - Mark 5:9 You can’t conquer what you won’t confront. One of the most important steps to breaking down the barriers that stand in your way is to clearly identify them. The problem with so many attempts to overcome obstacles is that the obstacles themselves are never clearly named. In the story of Jesus encountering the demon-possessed man in Mark 5, Jesus asked a simple but po...  Read More

Moving In Faith
on May 17th, 2025
"By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days." - Hebrews 11:30 Marching can seem pointless when the goal isn’t clear. People often question whether it still holds any value or if it’s just an outdated practice with no real purpose. But the truth is, marching isn’t just about the act itself. It’s about the intention behind it. It’s about doing something with...  Read More

Marching With Purpose
on May 16th, 2025
"Shout! For the Lord has given you the city." - Joshua 6:16 When God gave Joshua the battle plan to take down Jericho, it wasn’t conventional. There was no strategy meeting, no war council, and no battle formations. Instead, God told them to march around the city once a day for six days, and on the seventh day, they were to march seven times and then shout. Imagine how crazy that must have looked ...  Read More

Trusting God to Make It Over
on May 15th, 2025
“For the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up for us until we passed over.” - Joshua 4:23 When the Israelites crossed the Jordan River, it wasn’t just about moving from one place to another. It was a testament to God’s faithfulness. Joshua made sure the people understood that their victory wasn’t j...  Read More

Fighting For Freedom
on May 14th, 2025
"For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." - Galatians 5:13 Freedom is a powerful thing. It’s something most of us enjoy and sometimes take for granted. But true freedom is never free. It always comes at a cost. The truth is, any freedom you enjoy today, whether it’s freedom from sin, freedom from fe...  Read More

The Power of Not Letting Go
on May 13th, 2025
"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." - Romans 12:12 There’s something powerful about not letting go. About holding on when everything around you seems to be falling apart. About praying and refusing to give up even when the situation looks impossible. I read a story about a young boy in Florida who was attacked by an alligator while swimming in a nearby lake. His mo...  Read More

Doing Your Part
on May 12th, 2025
"They went back to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her." - 1 Samuel 1:19 Praying is powerful. It’s how we connect with God, pour out our hearts, and seek His guidance. But prayer alone isn’t the end of the story. It’s only the beginning. Sometimes, we get so caught up in waiting for God to move that we forget He’s waiting for us to act on what we’ve ...  Read More

A Mother's Legacy of Faith
on May 11th, 2025
"Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her." - Proverbs 31:28 There’s something undeniably powerful about the love and faith of a mother. From the earliest days of childhood, many of us can remember our mothers pouring into us with words of encouragement, guidance, and endless prayers. Whether you had a biological mother, a grandmother, an aunt, or someone who...  Read More

Praying With Expectation
on May 10th, 2025
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." - Mark 11:24 Hannah’s faith is powerful because it wasn’t just words. It was belief in action. When she went to the temple and poured her heart out before God, her pain was real, and her desperation was undeniable. But when Eli, the priest, misunderstood her passion and thought she was drun...  Read More

Praying Beyond Yourself
on May 9th, 2025
"Then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head." - 1 Samuel 1:11When you look at the story of Hannah, you see that her prayer was different. It wasn’t just about what God could do for her. It was about what God could do through her. While she longed for a child, her prayer went beyond her own desires. She promised that if God blessed her with a son, s...  Read More

Praying Beyond Your Circumstances
on May 8th, 2025
"Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known." - Jeremiah 33:3 As we looked at yesterday, Hannah’s story is a powerful reminder that true faith looks beyond the pain of our current situation and holds on to God’s promises. She had every reason to give up, to let her pain silence her prayers. But instead, she used her brokenness as a reason to...  Read More

Praying Through Your Barrenness
on May 7th, 2025
"She was deeply distressed and prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly." - 1 Samuel 1:10When reading the story of Hannah (in 1 Samuel 1-2), we see a story of deep pain and incredible faith. She desperately wanted a child, but year after year, her prayers seemed to go unanswered. In her culture, barrenness wasn’t just a personal struggle. It was a source of shame and rejection. Others ridiculed her, a...  Read More
