"When I Fall, I Will Rise Again!"

When I Fall, I Will Rise There are truths in Scripture that echo through every generation, and one of them is this: life happens —to the righteous and the rebellious, the faithful and the wandering, the strong and the fragile. In the book of Micah, Israel faced judgment because some had turned to Canaanite idols, but the consequences touched everyone , even those who remained faithful to God. It has always been this way. We like to believe that good behavior exempts us from h

"Living from Thanksgiving to Christmas"

Making Room for Emmanuel “Father God, we express our gratefulness to You once again…” Those words begin so many of our prayers, yet how often do we recognize the power behind them? Gratitude is not just an emotion we feel once a year at Thanksgiving—it’s a way of life, a posture of the heart, and a spiritual rhythm that shapes how we enter the Christmas season. As we move from Thanksgiving into Christmas, we aren’t simply turning a page on the calendar. We’re being invited in

"The Original Blueprint"

The Original Blueprint: Discovering God’s Design for Your Life This morning, I brought props—blueprints. Actual, rolled-up architect-stamped blueprints of an apartment building my family built years ago. As I looked at them, something leaped in my heart: this is what God has been saying the whole time. The Mirror Bible often uses the phrase “the original blueprint” —the design God had in mind for humanity before anything ever went wrong. And as I prayed about what to share t

"We Are Never Separated - Part 2"

Never Separated: Living in the Revelation of Union with God (Part 2) There are moments in life where all you can do is pause and give God total praise. Not a partial praise, not a halfway worship— total praise from the depths of your being. Because when you really stop and think about it, even the breath you breathe is God. Yes, God. Scripture says that in creation, God stooped down and breathed His rua —His breath, His Spirit—into humanity. And we became a living soul. Tha

"Your Starting Point"

Your Starting Point: Living From Union, Not Separation “Father, I thank You for Your Word and for Your goodness displayed all around us. You reveal Yourself through every page of Scripture, and as You write those truths upon our hearts, our minds begin to awaken to who You really are, how You love us, and who You’ve created us to be.” We’re in a season of revelation—of learning, unlearning, and re-learning the truth of who God is. Lately, it feels like we’ve all been on the s

"We are Never Separated"

Nothing Can Separate Us From the Love of God Well, thank you, family. It’s good to see you. It’s good to be, as the old folks used to say, in the house of the Lord one more time. You know, I’m just grateful — grateful that I can move, grateful that I can get up out of my chair without a pain, grateful for life. I’ve been learning to be more and more thankful for what God is doing in my life. I like to call it lifing. Life is life — but I’m so glad I don’t have to do it alone

"I Am Not Ashamed"

I Am Not Ashamed -- Unashamed: Because He’s Not Ashamed of You As I was preparing and listening for what to talk about this morning, a song just wouldn’t leave my heart. I’ve learned that when something keeps repeating in my spirit like that, it’s usually God’s way of getting my attention. The song was “Unashamed” by Matthew West. There’s a line in that song that says: “I’m unashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the truth that changed my life.” That line has been echoin

The Great Hunter: God’s Pursuit of Our Hearts "Father, we thank You for Your Word this morning." That’s how I want to begin—by thanking God for His faithfulness, His goodness, and for the people He continually draws to Himself. Every time we come to hear from Him, He shows up ready to give us exactly what we need to take the next step forward. And this morning, I want to talk to you about the Great Hunter.
