Exodus 1: God’s Promises Endure

Exodus opens by listing the descendants of Jacob who came to Egypt. Over time, the Israelites multiply and become a mighty people. Joseph and those of his generation pass, and a new Pharaoh rises who does not remember Joseph and enslaves Israel, fearing their strength. Yet the more they are oppressed, the more they grow. Pharaoh orders the Hebrew midwives to kill all baby boys, but they fear God and refuse. God blesses their faithfulness with families of their own, and Israel continues to flourish—setting the stage for divine deliverance.

Is The Church Important? Belonging vs Attending

Belonging to a church is more than just attending a service—it’s about becoming part of a family. In Galatians 6:10, Paul encourages us to do good “especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” That word—belong—carries significance. It suggests intimacy, connection, and commitment. When we belong, we are not simply welcomed—we are truly wanted.

Sharing: The Power of the Middle Chapter

We often talk about our “before Christ” and “after Christ” stories, but there’s a deeply sacred space in the middle — the moment when Jesus meets us, just like He did with Paul on the road to Damascus. That encounter is where everything shifts. It’s where light breaks through the darkness, questions meet answers, and purpose is born.

Speaking Up: How Sharing Your Story Can Change a Life

We all have stories to tell—genuine, honest moments when God met us at our lowest, carried us through, or completely changed us. But too often, we hold back from sharing. We think our stories aren’t polished enough, dramatic enough, or relevant enough. The truth? If Jesus has touched your life, your story matters—and someone in your life needs to hear it.

Sharing: Why and How Should I Tell Others?

Telling others about our faith can be one of the most meaningful—and most intimidating—parts of following Jesus. Fear of rejection, awkwardness, uncertainty, or feeling like we don’t measure up can all stop us in our tracks. Yet Jesus invites us not just to believe in Him, but to shine for Him.

Sharing Redemption: How Jesus Restores What’s Lost

Redemption is one of the most beautiful and powerful words in the Bible — but what does it actually mean in our daily lives?

At its core, redemption means being bought back, rescued, or restored. It’s what Jesus did for us on the cross. Through His death and resurrection, He paid the price to free us from sin, shame, and spiritual death. But redemption isn’t just about going to heaven someday — it’s about transformation here and now.

Freedom From Debt: Living Within God’s Design

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2

Debt isn’t just a financial issue—it’s a spiritual one. The Bible doesn’t shy away from addressing it, and neither should we. In a culture that normalizes credit cards, car payments, and “buy now, pay later,” it’s easy to believe debt is just part of life. But God has a better plan.

A Generous Partnership: Joining God in His Work

We often talk about giving as though it’s transactional: we give back a portion of what God has given us. But that’s not entirely accurate. The truth is: we don’t own anything. God does.

Psalm 24:1 reminds us: “The earth is the Lord, and everything in it.” We are not owners; rather, we are stewards and managers entrusted with time, talents, treasures, and testimony to serve God’s Kingdom.

And that’s not a burden—it’s a blessing.

Owner vs. Manager: Living With Open Hands

We live in a culture that prizes ownership. Owning your home, your business, your car, your time—these are badges of success. But Jesus invites us into a radically different mindset: you don’t own any of it.

You’re a manager. A steward. And that’s not a downgrade—it’s a divine appointment.
