December 28, 2025 As we stand on the threshold of a new year, Psalm 1 invites us to pause and consider the path we are walking. Scripture presents two ways before us—the way of the righteous, rooted in God’s truth and flourishing like a tree planted by streams of water, and the way of the wicked, unstable and ultimately empty. This psalm calls us to examine our desires, choices, and direction as we look ahead, urging us to choose the way that leads to life, endurance, and lasting fruit in the...

December 21, 2025 As Christmas arrives in a few sleeps, we are reminded of the deep, abiding, and perfect love of God that is ours in Christ Jesus. God’s love came at an incredible price, but it was one that Jesus gladly paid. This love of God that abides in us is the very love that should overflow into our love for one another. We were born in Christ for this! 1 John 4:7-12

January 4, 2025 Exiles! Aliens! Foreigners! These titles reflect the reality that Christians are, firstly, citizens of God’s kingdom. While Christians faced suffering for their faith, Peter reminded the churches that it was their very faith in Christ that would produce hope and joy in the midst of mistreatment and persecution in their daily lives. 1 Peter 1:1-9

December 14, 2025 “Joy to the World” is what is proclaimed at the birth of Christ. Christ ushers in a joy that is not made or fueled by human invention. His joy transcends all people, circumstances, and materials. Jesus says in John 15:11, “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” The key here is knowing what Jesus spoke to them: abide… To engulf ourselves in Christ and through the Spirit see how marvelous Jesus Christ is through the Script...

December 7, 2025 Oftentimes, the word peace is associated with war or conflict, and rightfully so. We often don’t think of ourselves or others as being at war with God or with one another, yet for the person who is not in Christ, they are indeed at war against God and others. But Christ, such a beautiful conjunction, has come and fought the war for us, and in his victory, he births in us his peace. Peace first with God and with those who are found in Christ. Our response, both individually an...

November 30, 2025 The advent of Jesus has brought eternal hope to the world. Hope has been born in all those who trust in Christ as their Savior and Lord through the Holy Spirit. Hope is born in us today, Church! From Romans 15:1-13, we will see that our hope in Christ is directly linked to how we treat one another as His people and representatives in the world. Romans 15:1-13

November 23, 2025 The final verses of the Bible hold Christ’s incredible promise for His people. He is coming soon! Every generation of believers must live in light of our Savior’s imminent return. We must also pay close attention to living faithful lives and sharing His message of hope and salvation. Take heart, Church, our King is coming soon. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! Read Revelation 22:6-21

November 16, 2025 All believers in Christ have an eternal home, the City of God. This special section of Scripture gives us a glimpse into what dwelling in God’s presence will be like. It is in our eternal home where we “will see His face, and His name will be on our foreheads. And night will be no more. We will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be our light, and we will reign forever and ever.” What a day of rejoicing that will be! Revelation 21:8-22:5

November 9, 2025 At the end of Christ’s 1,000 year reign, everyone will come before the Lord for final judgment. For those who rejected Christ, they will enter eternal punishment in hell. For those who believed in Christ, righteous and unrighteous deeds will be judged as they receive their eternal rewards. Faith in Christ as our Lord and Savior is the difference between eternal outcomes. How will this future reality shape the choices we make today? Revelation 20:11-21:8

November 2, 2025 Christ is returning! This event will usher in a 1,000 year time of peace and righteousness on the earth as Jesus Christ personally and physically reigns on the earth. Satan will be imprisoned for the majority of this time, and redeemed saints will reign with Christ in various ways. Our future reign with our Savior should powerfully motivate our faithfulness and pursuit of a holy life. Revelation 20:1-15

October 26, 2025 The Apostle John describes his vision of the Second Coming of Jesus, the future event when Jesus will return to earth, conquer His enemies, and reign as King of the world. Every Christian on earth and in heaven is united in anticipating this climactic event. It is the culmination of the Book of Revelation and the highlight of the history of the world. At the end of the seven-year tribulation, the Antichrist's army will march to Israel to fight a “winner-takes-all” battle agai...

October 19, 2025 Revelation 19:1-10 is rich in reasons why God alone deserves the praises of heaven and earth. Once again we are transported to the courts of heaven where our One, True God receives all glory and honor. Come and worship together, Church, for our God is worthy of all praise.

October 12, 2025 This week, Pastor Morris Ogenga from Mbale, Uganda brings a message from Isaiah 6:1-8. This text captures the holiness of God and the holy calling given to His prophet, Isaiah. In Christ, we share in a high and holy calling to the Lord. May we, like Isaiah, take up our call with humility and faithfulness. Isaiah 6:1-8

October 5, 2025 John’s vision of the final fall of the Antichrist’s empire culminates in the destruction of his commercial hold over the world. This week, our focus is on God’s judgment against the empty pursuits of wealth, power, and sexual immorality. Until this time of judgment, these vices stand as threats to the world and God’s people in every generation. Revelation 18:1-24

September 28, 2025 Before John is given the glorious vision of Christ’s Second Coming, he sees and hears of the final fall of Babylon, the false, global religious system used by the Antichrist to lead the world against Christ and His people. This week, our focus is on the dangerous, alluring appeal false religion holds over the hearts of humanity, and if we’re not alert, the Church as well. Revelation 17:1-18

September 21, 2025 Revelation 15 and 16 provide the final outpouring of God’s justice against the Antichrist and all who follow him. The scene begins in heaven as the courts of heaven glorify God for His justice. Then, the scene changes to the earth as the seven bowls of wrath are poured out. With the judgment of the wicked a certainty, believers are called to stay awake, clothed in righteousness, ready to witness to the Lamb who is the only One who can save people from God’s justice. Revelat...

September 14, 2025 Revelation 14 serves as an interlude, previewing the remaining events of the Great Tribulation. A series of vignettes sets the stage for God's vengeance against His enemies. Our patient and merciful God will display His swift and severe wrath, as His justice "will roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream" (Amos 5:24). Revelation 14:1-20

September 7, 2025 In the latter half of the Great Tribulation, two prominent world leaders, one political and one religious, will rise in opposition to God’s people. How should God’s people respond when evil is permitted to thrive and even appear to triumph in the world? Through the Apostle John, the Church receives a difficult yet vital perspective, one that remains timeless and instructive for Christians in every generation. Revelation 13:1-18

September 1, 2025 Revelation 12 is often called the most symbolic chapter in the most symbolic book of the Bible. This chapter unveils the primary enemy of God, Satan, along with his plan to destroy God’s covenant promises to redeem His people for His glory. While our enemy has a battle plan, his ultimate defeat is certain. Until that time, God has revealed how His people will always overcome through the person and work of Jesus Christ. Revelation 12:1-17

August 24, 2025 All of us struggle to grow in our journey of faith and following Christ. Paul reminds Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:10-17 of three key factors in his own growth: Paul’s own life example, hardships, and the Word of God. These three things work together to help us apply the truths of God into the real-life challenges we face through the encouragement of other mature believers. We should seek out mentors who can be models for us and be intentional in mentoring others to help them grow, ...
