Abiding in Christ includes trusting Him when the future is unclear. Life is full of uncertainty, and sometimes our hearts are troubled. We face challenges, losses, and doubts that make us question the path ahead. God wants to lead us to trust Him, even if we don’t understand His thoughts are higher than ours. And His thoughts are always good!…

Judas’ betrayal and Jesus’ response demonstrate that abiding in Christ involves navigating betrayal with grace and forgiveness. How should we handle betrayal? Forgive: Forgiveness doesn’t mean excusing the betrayal but releasing the hurt to God. (Matthew 6:14-15) Set healthy boundaries: While Jesus extended love to Judas, He didn’t try to change hi…

Christmas is a time to pause and reflect on the magnificence of Jesus. The incarnation—the miracle of God becoming man—is only truly understood if we first believe in the deity and pre-existence of Jesus as part of the Godhead. Without this foundation, the significance of His coming to earth as a baby in Bethlehem cannot be grasped and we cannot fu…

In the story of Nehemiah we see him make plans for the reconstruction of the walls of Jerusalem. Likewise, we too must be intentional in fortifying our thoughts by recognizing the need to renew our minds. This begins by acknowledging the civil war happening in our minds—the conflict between our old nature and the desire to live a godly life.…

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus introduced a radical principle that transforms the way we approach life, relationships, and even our struggles: the principle of the “second mile.” Walking that second mile, though often uncomfortable and sacrificial, is not about what we must do, but about who we are becoming—a people marked by the love and the ge…

As the church, God’s spiritual family, we have the responsibility to reach out and rescue those who are spiritually perishing.

Like any rescue effort, we must be prepared, equipped, and anchored in prayer.…

The book of Acts ends by highlighting Paul’s final days in Rome. While Paul remains a key figure, the book of Acts ends on a cliffhanger, emphasizing that the work of spreading the gospel is far from complete. This unfinished story signals that the mission of the church—to GO into all the world—continues. Acts chapter 29, though unwritten in the Bi…

In the book of Acts we see on several occasions that Paul gave his testimony in defense of his faith and each time it had a powerful impact.

The book of The Acts of the Apostles is the blueprint of how Jesus established His church.

In Acts chapter 13, The Holy Spirit directed the church to separate Barnabas and Saul to embark on what is known as Paul’s first missionary trip.
