It’s Friday!

April 17, 2026

As Friday arrives, many of us look ahead to the weekend with anticipation—time to rest, gather with loved ones, and prepare our hearts for Sunday. But before we rush ahead, Friday gives us a quiet moment to pause and reflect.

What has this week held? Blessings, challenges, opportunities to serve, and moments when the Lord carried us through. Friday is not just the end of the week—it’s a reminder to finish well. To thank God for His faithfulness and to place anything unfinished into His hands.

The same God who walked with us Monday through Thursday will be with us through the weekend ahead. We can step forward with peace, knowing He is guiding every step.

Let this Friday be a time of gratitude and trust—resting not just in the weekend, but in Him.

Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Proverbs 16:3

A True Friend

April 16, 2026

If you have a true friend you are blessed. If you have several good friends you are extremely blessed. 

God gives us friends in our lives to come along by our side to uplift us in times of trouble or sorrow. They rejoice with us when we have joy. They are loyal. Thank God for the friends in your life.

There is a Friend that is even better than the one we have here on earth, His name is Jesus!

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. John 15:13-15

Sunday A Day To Rest!

April 12, 2026

Sunday is often full—church services, conversations, meals, and responsibilities. But beyond all of that, God invites us into something deeper: rest for the soul.

This kind of rest isn’t just sitting still—it’s remembering.

Remembering how good God has been.

Remembering His faithfulness through the week.

Remembering that we are held in His care.

The psalmist didn’t say, “Find rest somewhere new.”

He said, “Return unto thy rest.”

That means your soul already knows where peace is found—in the Lord!

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.” Psalm 116:7 (KJV)

God Answers Prayer!

March 26, 2026

Have you ever had a situation where you were so frustrated and felt like giving up? Then you called upon the Lord and the answer came.

God loves His children and desires that we lean on Him for strength, wisdom and guidance.

When the answer to prayer comes we need to thank the Lord. Sometimes it is then we realize that He was there all the time. Waiting for us to call on Him.

So, when situations come that could make us feel discouraged, stop and call on God. He will answer!

Sunday Worship

March 22, 2026

There is something powerful about coming together with God’s people. Hebrews 10:25 reminds us that gathering is not just a routine—it is a necessity. In a world that often pulls us apart and distracts us, the Lord calls us to be faithful in assembling together.

When we come to church, we are strengthened. We encourage one another, we worship together, and we are reminded that we are not alone in this journey. Every handshake, every prayer, every song lifts our hearts and points us back to Christ.

Now more than ever, we need each other. As we see the day approaching, let us be faithful to gather, to encourage, and to shine brightly for Jesus wherever He places us.

Jesus Has The Answer To Our Stress!

March 21, 2026

Do you feel overwhelmed and there is so much to do? No time to get it all done.

Jesus gave us the answer in Matthew 11:28. “ Come unto me“, He said.

Stop, take a few minutes to read His Word, pray and ask Him for wisdom, strength to calm to fill your mind and heart.

Peace will come over you and all things will be accomplished. Maybe some things will have to wait until later but you will have assurance that it is in His hands.

Trust In The Lord!

March 17, 2026

How often do we try to “figure it out” before we fully trust God? We say we trust Him, but then we lean on our own understanding—our plans, our timing, our reasoning.

These verses are a simple but powerful reminder: trust Him completely.

Not halfway. Not when it makes sense. Not only when things are going well.

“All thine heart” means everything—your worries, your decisions, your future, even the things you don’t understand.

And then it says, “In all thy ways acknowledge him.” That means bringing Him into every part of your day—not just the big decisions, but the small ones too.

When we do that, God promises something beautiful: He shall direct thy paths.

You don’t have to figure it all out. You just have to trust the One who already has.

Today, let’s choose to trust Him a little more… and lean on Him a little less on ourselves.

Have a Blessed Monday!

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17

Sunday, Come Let Us Worship

March 8, 2026

These verses remind us that true worship begins with humility.

The psalmist calls us to bow down and kneel before the Lord our Maker. When we recognize who God is—the Creator, the Shepherd, and our loving God—it naturally brings our hearts to a place of reverence and gratitude.

The passage also gives a comforting truth: “We are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand.” Just as a shepherd watches over and cares for his sheep, God watches over His people. He guides us, protects us, and leads us in the right way.

In a busy world filled with noise and distractions, God invites us to pause and come before Him in worship. When we humble ourselves before the Lord, we are reminded that we belong to Him and that He faithfully cares for us.

Today, take a moment to bow your heart before the Lord. Thank Him for being your Shepherd, your Maker, and your faithful God who holds you in His hand.

March 5, 2026
