“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.

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.

Your Tears Are Not Wasted
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, betrayal, disappointments just know…

Be The Blessing
I can remember the phenomenon surrounding the prayer Jabez. Donald Lawrence (gospel artist) made a song about it and the Church was praying the prayer of Jabez. I recently came across this prayer one day in my prayer time and found comfort in the things of old. Jabez asked God to bless him indeed, enlarge…
