I Can Relate: God’s Truth in Everyday Stories
Jesus sat in a boat on the Sea of Galilee and told a simple farming story that still hits home today. In Mark 4, the seed is God’s Word and our hearts are the soil. Some stay hard, some are shallow, some get choked by worry and distraction, and some bear amazing fruit. How is […]
If Jesus Is Relatable, Why Aren’t We?
Jesus told stories people actually understood and met them where they were. If Christ is personal and relatable, then our faith should feel just as ordinary and everyday as leaves blowing in the fall. The Bible is not distant or outdated. It is deeply relevant to real life right now.

Fascination. Familiarity. Fallacy. Family.
In the last few months I’ve noticed a tremendous spike on social media of more athletes and celebrities claiming their faith in Christ. Or cameras are televising players praying before and after the game. Sometimes in groups, sometimes solo. Most recently I saw UFC fighter Connor McGregor says is “saved”, “healed”, and “living by God’s […]
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath Mark 2 23 28 Spirit Led Common Sense
Read Mark 2 23 28. Jesus and His disciples picked grain on the Sabbath and the Pharisees called it unlawful. Jesus answered with Scripture and showed the heart of God. The Sabbath was made for people and the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath. We look at the story and then draw three takeaways. Get your facts straight before judging. Use Spirit led common sense as you apply God’s Word. Do not live by the dictates of critics. Follow Jesus with grace and truth. Challenge today is to apply Spirit led common sense to the decisions you face.

Growth Take Time #growinchrist #faith #biblicaltruth
Following Jesus isn’t about getting everything right — it’s about taking one faithful step at a time. 🌱 Our role is to cheer each other on as we grow, not to point out every flaw. If you’re moving toward Christ, we’re celebrating with you. Growth takes time, and that’s exactly how God designed it. 🙌

Forgiven: The Power of Grace in Christ
In Mark 2, Jesus speaks powerful words to a paralyzed man: “Son, your sins are forgiven.” These words reveal both our greatest need and God’s greatest gift. Sin is real, it carries consequences, and it separates us from God. Yet through Christ, we are offered forgiveness by grace—freely given, not earned. Forgiveness cancels the debt, […]
#TruthAndGrace #RightAndWrong #BiblicalTruth #StandFirm
We live in a world that often blurs the lines between right and wrong. But God’s Word is clear—sin is real, and forgiveness is real. Calling out what’s wrong isn’t hateful; it’s truthful. Jesus didn’t excuse sin—He spoke the truth and offered forgiveness. We can’t coddle every idea or behavior; some things are simply wrong. Real love is found in truth, grace, and the call to turn back to God.
Hope That Heals: Jesus and the Leper
Hope in God is more than a phrase—it’s a lifeline. In this message from Mark 1:40–45, we see a leper who refused to give up, coming to Jesus in desperation and faith. Just as Christ reached out His hand and made the leper clean, He reaches into our lives with power, compassion, and love. When life feels dark, when plans shift, or when sin separates us, our only lasting hope is found in Christ alone.
