God’s glory is best demonstrated through our pain and suffering. While we often seek miracles to escape our struggles, true faith calls us to persevere through them.

All throughout the Bible, God often used ordinary, flawed, and fearful people; people who were willing to say “Yes!” to Him. One such person is a lesser-known disciple named Ananias, whose simple obedience to God's call led to Saul’s (Paul) conversion, impacting generations as a result. When we say “Yes!” to God, it releases faith, restores hope an…

As believers, our source of hope is in God's unchanging character and promises. With an unwavering hope in Him, we can have endurance as we go through trials, and abiding joy as we trust in His plans for us. Truly, Jesus is hope for the rejected, the hopeless, and the depressed. In moments of despair, may hope be our anchor; in times of joy, may it…

May we be true worshippers, living our life conforme…

Through self-reflection and service, may we…

Let’s be strong and bold as we lean on God’s pro…
