Marriage is designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for the church, calling husbands to lead through sacrificial service, not domination. True love requires daily submission to God, the help of the Holy Spirit, and valuing your wife as a precious gift. When husbands love like Christ, marriages become powerful testimonies of God’s grace to the world.  Read More

In Wayne's recent sermon, "God's Way is Always Best," we explored Psalm 37, emphasizing the three R's: Relinquishment, Reliance, and Rewards. Relinquishment calls us to abandon worldly distractions and commit our lives entirely to God's path. Reliance reminds us to trust in Christ for strength, as He never fails while worldly structures might. The Rewards of faithfulness manifest both in daily blessings and the eternal promise of life with Him. Ultimately, by embracing these principles, we align ourselves with God's superior plan and experience the profound love He has for each of us. Remember, God's way is always best, and in His love, we find our true purpose.  Read More

In a world that often glorifies grand gestures and monumental achievements, it's easy to overlook the profound impact of small, seemingly insignificant actions. Yet, history and scripture alike remind us that even the tiniest spark can ignite a blazing fire of change. This truth is beautifully illustrated in the story of Peter's journey through Lydda, Sharon, and Joppa, as recounted in Acts 9:32-4...  Read More

Have you ever wondered if God could really use someone with a messy past—or if you yourself truly belonged among His people? In Acts 9:26–31, we meet Saul, once the church’s greatest threat, now seeking fellowship with the very disciples he tried to destroy. Fear and hesitation fill the room, until Barnabas steps forward with courage and encouragement. His welcome opens the door for Saul’s ministry and shows us what can happen when the church chooses to see others through the lens of Christ’s transforming power. This story calls us to be “Barnabas-like” believers who welcome outsiders, stand with the vulnerable, and encourage growth in others.  Read More

Imagine making a New Year's resolution, full of hope and intention, yet as time slips away, the motivation dwindles and the goal seems out of reach. This is the very trap that Israel fell into in Hosea chapters 12 and 13. They thought the day of reckoning was too distant to worry about. But Hosea warned them: judgment isn't a distant event; it's closer than you think. Just like my failed attempts for a summer-ready body, Israel believed they had plenty of time to repent, yet the alarm clock of God's judgment was set, and the time was imminently approaching. Ultimately, their diplomatic maneuvers to avoid God's judgment were futile. They, like many today, relied on worldly wisdom instead of divine guidance. Yet amid judgment, Hosea provides a glimmer of hope: a promise of resurrection and restoration through repentance and faith in God, a message echoed by Paul in 1 Corinthians as he speaks of victory through Jesus Christ. Let us heed the call to hold fast to love and justice, to return to the Lord before time runs out.  Read More

Can a person really change? Saul’s story in Acts 9 answers with a resounding yes. Once a fierce enemy of the church, Saul encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus and was radically transformed into one of the faith’s greatest champions. His journey reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace, and even our weakest moments can become the doorway to powerful ministry. If God could take the church’s greatest persecutor and make him its boldest preacher, imagine what He can do in your life.  Read More
