Ephesians 5:15-21Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord...  Read More

1 Corinthians 2:9-16But, as it is written,“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,    nor the heart of man imagined,what God has prepared for those who love him”—these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts ...  Read More

John 16:13When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.      Imagine that you're driving through an unfamiliar city at night, rain pouring down, and your GPS suddenly loses signal. That moment of panic, that feeling of being completely los...  Read More

Luke 4:14-21And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up.

John 7:37-39On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorifi...  Read More

     The night before His crucifixion, Jesus gathered with His disciples in an upper room. These men had left everything to follow Him. For three years, they had walked alongside Him, witnessed His miracles, and listened to His teaching. Now He told them something they could hardly believe: He was leaving. We can only imagine their anxiety. Their entire world centered on Jesus' physical presence. ...  Read More

     As Palm Sunday approaches, we're drawn to the story of Jesus entering Jerusalem. It's a story many of us know well, the crowds waving palm branches, shouts of "Hosanna," and Jesus riding on a donkey. But beneath this passage lies a tension between celebration and sorrow, between the peace people wanted and the peace Jesus offered.     Luke's account in Luke 19:28-44, captures this tension in ...  Read More

     Have you ever sat down to pray and found yourself completely lost for words? Perhaps you faced a situation so complex, so painful, or so confusing that you simply didn't know what to ask for. Maybe you've experienced that strange disconnect between what your heart longs to express and what your lips can actually form into coherent sentences. If you've experienced this, you're not alone—and mo...  Read More

     Have you ever prayed for something and felt like your words just bounced off the ceiling? I certainly have. Those moments when you wonder if prayer actually accomplishes anything concrete in this world. After all, God already knows what we need before we ask, right? So why bother with the whole exercise?     This Sunday, we're continuing our sermon series called "The Heart of Prayer" by looki...  Read More

Acts 2:42-47And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. An...  Read More

Luke 11:5-13And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’? I tell you, though he will ...  Read More
