It's About Jesus
Personal Devotion
Spending time in personal devotion to God is crucial for deepening one's spiritual relationship and fostering a sense of inner peace and guidance. This dedicated time allows individuals to reflect on their faith, seek wisdom, and find solace in prayer and scripture. Personal devotion helps align one's life with God's will, offering clarity and direction in daily decisions and challenges. It also provides a space for personal growth, repentance, and renewal, strengthening the foundation of one's faith.
Look Up Again
Psalm 19:1 “The heavens are telling the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.” Lift up your eyes and look at the sky. Not just a quick glance. Really look. Isaiah will pick up the same thought as the Psalmist when he says, “Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things” (Isaiah 40:26). In other words, don’t stare at the small stuff so long that you forget the Someone who made the big stuff. That was Israel’s trouble. Their imagination
Poured Out
But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. Philippians 2:17 Some offerings are loud and proud. A big check to an important cause. An impressive public speech. A heroic moment caught on camera for everyone to see. But Paul talks about a different kind. He says, “Even if I am being poured out… I rejoice” (Philippians 2:17). It seems that every last drop of life is quietly
First Things First
“Do not worry about your life…” Matthew 6:25 Worry is sneaky. It doesn’t kick the front door down. It slips in through the side door. It shows up as “just being responsible.” It sounds like, “ What if the money runs out? What if the relationship breaks? What if the future falls apart?” And before you know it, worry is sitting in the driver’s seat, hands on the wheel, telling your heart where to go. Jesus speaks right into that swirl: Do not worry about your life. Not bec
Look!
"Look...." Psalm 121:1 (Revised Pastors Version) “Lift up your eyes ( Look )…” God doesn’t say, “Climb higher.” He doesn’t say, “Try harder.” He doesn’t say, “Get your act together and then come back.” He says one small word that changes everything: Look . That sounds easy—until life gets full. But when trouble hits, we look up fast. A diagnosis. A hard conversation. A night when sleep won’t come. Pain has a way of pointing our faces toward God. But blessings can do the oppos
When God Turns Down the Noise
When he was alone, the twelve… asked him about the parables Mark 4:10 Have you ever been alone with God? Not “alone in your room with your phone,” but truly alone. No music. No scrolling. No talking. Just quiet. Those are the times when the hard questions arise. Why did this happen? What am I supposed to do now? How do I fix this? That’s when I think of the disciples in Mark’s Gospel. They didn’t ask their questions out in the crowd. They waited until it was just them and Je
Walking with Jesus
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? - John 14:9a Have you ever been around someone for a long time…and then one day you realize you still don’t really know them? That’s what’s happening in John 14:9. Philip has been with Jesus. He’s heard the sermons. He’s watched the miracles. He’s seen demons run, and crowds lean in. And still Jesus looks at him—patient, steady, kind—and says, “Have I been with you so long, and you
2026: Choose You This Day
“Choose this day whom you will serve… but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:14–15) Sometimes, life stops feeling like a conversation and becomes a crossroads. Joshua stands up in front of a whole nation, and he doesn’t give them a cozy pep talk. He gives them a decision. Notice what Joshua doesn’t do: he doesn’t host a committee meeting. He doesn’t ask for a six-month discernment process. He doesn’t invite everyone to keep their options open. He poi
In the Ring with Jesus.
“If anyone wants to follow me, let them deny themselves, take up their cross daily, and follow me.” Luke 9:23–24 Jesus doesn’t ease into his teaching. He doesn’t frame it as a suggestion or dress it up as a motivational quote. He looks at the crowd—and at us—and says plainly: “Take up your cross and follow me.” That sentence lands like a punch, forcing a decision. Stay in the ring or get out? The gospel always offers this choice. It presses beyond what we feel or admire and
Stop Circling!
“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” (James 4:8) God’s truth is never meant to sit quietly. It is intended to nudge, mold, and recreate everything it touches. It is meant reach deep within us and call something out of us. Every time God presses a truth into your heart, a choice is placed gently—but firmly—before you. The Word of God always invites response. Not letting the Word of God “mess in your stuff” is risky. The danger isn’t outright rebellion; it’s polite
