A simple question that can totally reframe your week: what’s your purpose? So often we answer that question with a list of obstacles—I’m not good enough… I’m too much… I don’t have what it takes. But the turning point isn’t trying harder or becoming more “qualified.” It’s trusting the love of Christ.
“The Community of Jesus” reveals that following Christ is not a solo path but a shared journey of grace. In Matthew 18–20, Jesus teaches humility, sacrifice, and the power of genuine community. Believers are called to depend on God, serve others, and protect the vulnerable. Like the rich young ruler, each person must choose devotion over comfort. In God’s kingdom, the last are first, the humble are lifted up, and every soul is equally loved.
We join Peter on his profound journey with Christ — from his bold confession that Jesus is the Messiah to his moments of misunderstanding and his witness of the transfiguration. Through Peter’s story, we are reminded that while our understanding of God is often partial and imperfect, we are fully known and loved by Him.
From the tiny mustard seed that grows into a tree, to the treasure hidden in a field, each parable reminds us that the kingdom of heaven is both priceless and powerful. Jesus calls us to treasure His kingdom above all else, guard our hearts from hidden influences, and keep sharing the good news with the world until the net is full.
Jesus is the greatest Teacher, and His Sermon on the Mount lays the foundation for true discipleship. The Beatitudes remind us that God blesses the poor, the mourning, the meek, and even the persecuted. He calls us not only to outward obedience but to inward transformation.
As we begin our new series “Jesus and the People,” we are reminded that Jesus is the perfect image of the invisible God. Through His life, love, and sacrifice, He shows us what it means to live in God’s image. Each week, we’ll discover how looking to Jesus transforms our lives and calls us to reflect Him in the world.
Have you ever felt like God was silent? Like your prayers echoed into nothingness? God is not silent. He is working. He is speaking. He is saving.
When the exiles returned from Babylon, they rebuilt the temple before they rebuilt the city wall. It seems illogical—wouldn’t security come first? But this bold act of faith speaks volumes: they put worship before safety. Faith before fortress.
We’re diving into the powerful story of Esther—a woman of incredible boldness and wisdom who God used to deliver His people in a time of crisis. Esther’s courage reminds us that God calls each of us to stand boldly for what is right, not just in word but in action.
When we are attentive to what God is asking us to build—whether that’s a physical ministry, a spiritual culture, or a renewed commitment to His mission, even the shortest message, if Spirit-led, can change everything.
