If you’ve ever wondered what your role is in God’s bigger plan, the answer might be simpler—and more challenging—than you think. The mission of the Church isn’t something we get to invent in a strategy meeting or define through branding. It was given to us directly by Jesus himself. And it centers around one phrase: making disciples.

It’s the foundation of why millions believe today. But let’s be honest: believing someone rose from the dead isn’t exactly an everyday idea. So why should we believe in the resurrection of Jesus?
That’s the question I found myself reflecting on recently. And surprisingly, the answer isn’t just about blind faith. It’s about something that happened—something so powerful that it reshaped history.
Read More ›We’ve all been there. Waiting. Hoping. Wondering why the breakthrough hasn’t come. You’re stuck in a season that feels longer than it should be, and you’re not sure how much more you can take.
David knew that feeling. He was anointed as king but had to wait between 14 to 22 years before he ever wore the crown. Those weren’t quiet, uneventful years either. They were filled with danger, betrayal, running, and hiding. It would’ve been so easy for him to assume God had forgotten. But he didn’t.
Instead, David shows us something powerful: God’s delay isn’t God’s denial. It’s preparation.
Read More ›You’ve been lied to. Probably today. That voice in your head telling you that you’ll always struggle, that you’re not enough, that your failures define you—it’s familiar. But it’s not the truth. And most of us don’t even realize we’ve been lied to until we’ve already made decisions based on it. That’s the enemy’s game: disguise the lie so well that we accept it as truth without question.
That’s why learning to spot a lie before it wrecks you isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. Your peace, your clarity, and your relationships may all depend on your ability to tell the difference.
Read More ›We’ve all done it—lost our cool in a disagreement, given someone the cold shoulder, or obsessed over a grudge we couldn’t seem to let go. But what if those moments weren’t just missteps in our relationships? What if, underneath them, there’s a deeper fight going on—a fight you may not even realize you’re in?
Let’s talk about spiritual warfare, not in the dramatic, movie-style sense, but in the ordinary moments where it often hides in plain sight. Drawing from Saul’s story in 1 Samuel 28, here are three critical warnings that can protect your heart, your mind, and your relationships from the real enemy.
Read More ›If you’ve ever made a decision in the heat of the moment—maybe out of anger, pride, or fear—you’re in good company. Even David, Israel’s most celebrated king, had his moments. In fact, one of his biggest lessons came not in battle, but in a moment of almost-violence—stopped only by a voice of wisdom.
This message isn’t just about David’s story. It’s about our story, too—about how we respond when wisdom shows up, often uninvited, but desperately needed.
Read More ›Mercy is one of the most challenging virtues to practice, especially when we feel wronged. We live in a world that glorifies revenge, self-preservation, and getting even. Yet, Scripture calls us to something higher—a life that reflects God’s mercy.
In 1 Samuel 24, we see David face a moment that could have changed his life forever. He had the opportunity to kill King Saul, the man unjustly hunting him down. No one would have blamed him for striking Saul down, yet David chose mercy over revenge. From his example, we learn three powerful lessons about extending mercy to the undeserving.

Maybe it’s a quick excuse to avoid conflict. Maybe it’s pretending everything’s fine when it’s really not. Maybe it’s a small exaggeration to make yourself look better.
We live in a world where bending the truth is normal—sometimes even expected. Studies say the average person lies at least twice a day, and many can’t get through a ten-minute conversation with someone new without lying. It’s almost like lying is baked into everyday life.
But as followers of Jesus, we’re called to live differently. We don’t ask, “What does everyone else do?” Instead, we ask, “What does God say about this?” And what God says about lying is direct and powerful.
Read More ›Many of us struggle to build deep, lasting friendships. In a world where connections are often surface-level, how can we form relationships that truly matter?
The Bible gives us a powerful example of friendship in David and Jonathan. Their relationship wasn’t just casual—it was built on trust, vulnerability, and unwavering commitment. In this post, we’ll explore two key traits of godly friendships and how we can cultivate them in our own lives.

The Bible tells us that God’s compassion isn’t passive. It moves outward. And if we are His followers, our faith must lead to action.
So, let’s consider: Has God’s compassion changed you?
