  • God’s Faithfulness in His Promises
    We each have a purpose that God wants us to fulfill in our lives. But sometimes our purpose goes unrealized because of the obstacles before us. We get sidetracked because we stop believing before the path of victory has been discovered. This week’s devotional explores David’s journey from anointing to kingship. David’s story teaches us three key lessons: 1. God’s Calling: David was anointed long before he became king, reminding us that God’s calling on our lives often precedes public recognition. (1 Samuel 16:12-13) 2. Patience in God’s Timing: David trusted God’s perfect timing and waited for His plan to unfold. Are there areas in your life where you need to trust in God’s timing? (2 Samuel 1-2) 3. Recognizing God’s Hand: David’s life was a testimony to God’s faithfulness. As we walk in faith, we, too, can recognize how God is working in our lives, even when it isn’t immediately visible. Let this devotional encourage you to trust in God’s promises, knowing that His timing is always perfect. Reflection: How is God preparing you for His purpose today?

  • “Power vs. Presence: Finding Peace in God’s Still, Small Voice”

    In the story of Elijah, we witness a powerful truth that often resonates in our lives. In 1 Kings 18, Elijah calls down fire from heaven, demonstrating the power of God by defeating the 450 prophets of Baal. However, in the very next chapter, we see Elijah running for his life,…

    What makes a good neighbor? What makes a good neighbor are people who seek to be neighborly.  It takes nothing to speak to care and be respectful.   A good neighbor, in my opinion, is one that looks to be kind to you.
  • Living Beyond Happiness
    One of the most freeing realizations in life is understanding that life is not defined by fleeting happiness but by the enduring joy found in Jesus. Happiness, while a commonly sought-after feeling, is often misunderstood. It is based on circumstances—changeable and unstable, like shifting sand. If we examine happiness closely, we…
  • Finding Your True Worth in Christ

  • The Power of Love Over Works
    It is truly remarkable how God places love above all else, even over the great works we might do. We could be the most dedicated Deacons, Pastors, Singers, or Servers in our church, but without love, everything we accomplish amounts to nothing in the eyes of God. Think about that for…

  • Yes I Vote The Issues I Care About
    Do you vote in political elections?

  • Watch Your Mouth
    The mouth can speak healing, it can speak hurt.  The mouth can speak truth or lies. We should always pray to the Lord for wisdom and ask Him to give us the courage, compassion and will to speak truth and words of life. The mouth not governed properly can destroy a…

    God has not forgotten nor abandoned you.  Pain is apart of the process. Though you may be innocent sometimes pain finds it’s way to you. Life is filled with challenges,  hardships and trials but that doesn’t mean that God is not real or that he doesn’t care. When we experience hardship,…
