This past Sunday, Pastor Brent challenged us all to join in a communal time of fasting for our cities and communities.

Because the world views God’s truth as nonsense, Christians often feel a lot of pressure to fit in. It’s not easy to swim against the current of popular opinion, and it's even harder to be looked down upon as a "fool" by people who think they know better.

If you feel like your spiritual tank is hitting "E," take a moment to refuel. Ask God for a fresh outpouring of His power this week.

Be encouraged… the one who is greater lives within you, faithfully guarding your heart and mind against deception.

Being human means being acquainted with waiting. We all know the pain and discomfort of waiting. And we're all desperately in need of learning what it is to wait with hope.

Have you ever experienced in any part of your life or any season a sudden, joyous turn where somehow you knew that your future would be different and for the better?

Last year, 43% of Americans reported feeling more anxious than the previous year.

It is one thing to know that you are loved. But it's another thing entirely to live as though it’s true.

Has God “shaken” you lately? He may be trying to get your attention.

Could you use a little more peace this season?

Whose voice are you listening to these days?

In the Old Covenant, God’s people were mainly the nation of Israel. But in the New Covenant, God’s family has expanded to include you. The blessings once limited to Israel has now been opened to the whole world through the Church.

Before Christ, our lives reflected sin and brokenness. We weren’t glorious at all; instead, we carried the marks of Satan’s influence, which only led to guilt and shame. Now, in Christ, everything is different.

In Roman times, when a general won a major battle, he was honored with a great parade called a triumphal procession. Life in Christ is like being led in a victory parade.

Though our world is full of hurts, sadness, and hard times, the good news is that we are not alone. We are blessed with God's comfort.

It’s just human nature to want to quit when things get tough. That part of us, the part that’s easily discouraged, has a motto that goes something like this: “If at first you don’t succeed, why even bother trying again?” But Jesus challenges us to rethink that.

Jesus and the apostles warned that false teachers would come, and it didn’t take long for this to happen. Would you be able to recognize false teachings today?

Maybe you’re standing at a crossroads right now. You see the giants ahead of you, and fear whispers that you’re not ready. But God says you are. Trust Him and take the step.

This week’s verse comes from Moses’ final words to the people of Israel. Joshua was about to become their new leader after Moses’ death, and he would soon guide them across the Jordan River into the Promised Land. It was a huge task, and the people needed encouragement. You can find encouragement today as well from his words.

Have you ever disobeyed God and messed up so badly that you wondered if He could ever forgive you? Maybe you thought, “Even if God forgives me, there’s no way He could still use me.” That thought doesn’t come from God—it’s a lie from the enemy of your soul.
