Too often we enjoy Jesus at church—but He's not so prominent in our homes. Why? Because we let the fire of the Holy Spirit burn down in our lives. But as the Lord instructed Moses, "the fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out" (Leviticus 6:13). Let's rekindle the fire by seeking God again! When we do, He will not fail to heal our families and our homes.

It’s a shame that many of us have gotten lazy in our faith—we don’t prioritize worship like we did when we first got saved. The problem in Americanized Christianity is that we’ve expected church to be entertainment instead of adoration of Almighty God! Let’s humble ourselves and plug back into church. We are there to serve, grow, and worship, not to be entertained!

The world’s language is judgment, but the language of Christ is love. When we see a brother or sister struggling with sin or caught up in harmful matters, it is not our place to judge or shame them—we must gently and lovingly bring them back to God. Jesus bore our sins instead of judging us. If He could do so great a feat of love, we can choose to help those who need it!

Christians aren’t using the Holy Spirit enough. It’s not emotionalism or fanaticism—the Scriptures detail gifts of the Spirit such as faith, healing, and prophecy. We must ask God for our hearts, minds, and spirits to be not just indwelt but filled by the Holy Spirit. Only then can we experience His power from heaven. Don't work. Wait for the Father's gift. We can't do the work we're supposed to d...

Typhoons are wildly turbulent—but underneath the storm is a peaceful stillness. In the same way, Christians face turmoil in the world every day, but we can live with peace in our hearts because of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. God dwells in peace. Any thought that brings agitation to our hearts and minds is the devil trying to rob us of peace—don’t let him! To live with Jesus in our lives is to live...

How effective are your prayers? Jesus said that if we don't forgive those who have hurt us, our prayers will be hindered. God forgives our sins—and He also forgets them. If Jesus can completely wipe away our sins, can’t we forgive others? Today let's bring that person or situation to God and see how it will clear the way to effective, powerful prayer.

Where would we be if God didn’t protect us from our own foolishness? Many of us have stories about things we did or places we went without seeking God first. But God is so patient and merciful—He blesses us even when we don’t deserve it! Abraham, the father of faith, learned that firsthand, and we can too. If we’ve lapsed recently and fallen out of step with Him, let’s get back in line. His ways a...

How are you seeing life? We see thousands of things in a day, and what we see determines how we move forward in life. Our vision is filtered through our souls—do we see fear and hesitation? Or do we see a platform for the glory of God to be revealed? Let’s pray for God to give us fresh eyes to see that He has given us His Spirit to make things alive in us.

We can be Christians yet not really be living. But Jesus said He came that we might have life—and life to the full! Sometimes we get so concerned with technology, AI, politics, and work that we forget to nurture our relationships with Christ. But we have been made alive in the Spirit of God! And God wants to commune with our spirits. We can have peace and joy when we embrace a life filled with Jes...

We all know the age-old question, “Is the glass half-empty or half-full?” As Christians, we can’t hold to the glass being half-empty—that mindset shows a lack of thankfulness. We often commit a besetting sin of going to the next problem instead of taking time to thank God for anything. Why do we keep thinking about what we don’t have? Let’s thank God for what we do have!

Lots of Christians think worship is following a liturgy. Others think it's loud singing or jumping up and down. But the Bible shows us what worship really is. Moses, David, the prophets, and ultimately Jesus taught us that worship is all about one thing: surrender to God in the face of His amazing love toward us.

It is a privilege to boldly present the gospel of Jesus Christ! Our boldness comes from knowing who the Lord is—knowing He’s the sovereign God who created heaven and earth. We often let fear, doubt, and misunderstanding get in the way of the greatness God has called us to do. Let’s pray for the Almighty to be with us so that we can go out with greater boldness every day.

"Why, Lord?!" That's what the prophet Habakkuk asked God when he saw the wicked overcoming the righteous. God didn't give him an easy answer—but He assured Habakkuk that He was in control and that He would put it all right in the end. When everything seems backwards and we can’t see the upside, we need to get alone with God, like the prophet did. Keep believing! God is still on the throne, and His...

Great endurance is the ability to joyfully put up with the pressures of life. Problems may try to break us—but if we ask God for strength, the power of the Holy Spirit helps us endure them. We will get through whatever we’re facing. Remember, Scripture says, “The one who stands firm to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13). Let’s ask God for endurance today so we can please the Lord! Colossians...

When Jesus comes into our lives, we are never the same! David Ruffin discovered that reality when Jesus delivered him from alcoholism and homelessness. Our Savior brings people out of addiction, depravity, pain, and brokenness. Praise Jesus for His life-changing love!

When was the last time you led someone to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ? The angels rejoice in heaven over the salvation of just one soul. Let’s pray for a fire in our hearts—that God would give us a strong desire to bring others to Him. We can make an eternal difference in their lives!

We can't know if we'll like a new food—unless we taste it! It's the same with the Lord. That's why the psalmist told us, "Taste and see that the Lord is good" (Psalm 34:8). How do we do that? Whatever weighs us down and hurts us we can give to God, and we will taste and see how good He is. He is faithful! Let’s experience God’s goodness today. Psalm 34:8

What makes your favorite athletes so good? They’re faithful to the game. That’s how God wants us to be in our relationship with Him—constant, devoted, steadfast. Immature faith wavers with circumstances, bobbing up and down. A steadfast spirit trusts in God at all times. Let’s pray for steady faith as we spiritually root our lives in Him. Psalm 51:1–19

God wants to bless us—and then make us a blessing. But for that to happen, we have to live by faith. That's how Abraham lived. When God told him to leave everything he knew, Abraham went, having no idea where he was going. He believed God. Will you leave behind the old and follow God into all He has for you today?

When pressure threatens, where do you lean? King Asa leaned on the strength of an army when he should have leaned on God—and it led to ruin. But God is drawn to the heart that trusts Him. When we truly depend on the Lord, He promises to show Himself strong on our behalf.

Ever wonder why some Christians burn bright and others barely flicker? It comes down to the fire of the Holy Spirit. Without it, churches grow cold, Christians get stuck, and pastors just go through the motions. This sermon is a wake-up call to stop making excuses and start desperately seeking the Spirit of God, who sets everything ablaze.

Jesus is coming back! The Bible tells us that no one knows the hour or day when He will call us to be with Him—it will as fast as the blink of an eye. Are we ready? Are we living every day as though Jesus could call us home at any minute? In this world full of tribulations, we can live with peace and purpose. We rest assured knowing God will take care of us and He has a future planned for us. 1 Th...

A lot of people who go to church think, "You do good, you get good." But that totally misses the concept of salvation. We can never be good enough to get into heaven. Rather, if we simply repent of our sin and then trust Jesus as our Savior, heaven is where we’re going! All the law does is tell us we’re a mess. But when we look to Jesus, we see our Savior.

People's hearts are so darkened. If we are going to make an impact on people with the gospel, we need God working with us and in us. Let's start praying for that more—we're working for Him, and now we can depend on Him to work for us.

Waiting can be the hardest part of faith. We’ve all experienced prayer fatigue—the person or situation we have been praying for hasn’t changed, and we get discouraged. One hero of the faith, George Mueller, spent decades praying before he saw change in others. God wants us to build up an arsenal of prayer for those heavy on our hearts. Let’s lift them up every day and never give up.
