This week, we look at how a comedic shopping mishap can parallel our spiritual lives. The simple truth is that action doesn't necessarily lead to productivity or growth.

When life feels like it’s passed you by and the dreams you once carried seem out of reach, it can be hard to believe things will ever turn around. But through the prophet Joel, God promises more than recovery—He promises abundance. Not the kind the world pursues through wealth or possessions, but an overflowing blessing rooted in spiritual renewal and a restored relationship with Him.

Funny how something as simple as GPS guidance can remind us of God's grace in our lives. We've all made a wrong turn at some point in life, and it doesn't mean we can reach our intended destination; it may take a little longer, but that calm voice simply says, "recalculating".

Momentum is a funny thing; when things are going well, life is great. But if things begin going in the wrong direction, as we face the consequences of bad choices, it can quickly discourage and derail our lives.

When was the last time you set out to do something hard, only to be derailed? The genesis for the start of the year came from a moment of personal challenge and inspiration, but an unexpected curveball changed everything. But as it turns out, maybe there is more to be learned in our failures.

We all face moments of Crisis in life, but we don't always respond the right way to those moments. Fortunately, we have many examples in scripture of crisis moments and how we should respond to them, as people of faith.

As we step into a new year filled with fresh goals and routines, it’s essential to slow down and establish the right perspective—one that allows our faith to grow deeper in 2026.

We live in a fast-paced culture, distracted, and always preparing for what's next. This week, as we mark the final Sunday of 2025, we pause to reflect on some of the key messages from the year, before moving forward into all that is new.

Have you ever stopped to truly consider the way we give and exchange gifts at Christmas? In the early 1900s, life moved at a different pace, and people often valued what was simple and meaningful. Today, with the tap of a button, we can have almost anything delivered from almost anywhere. And yet, if we’re not careful, in the rush and the noise, the greatest gift ever given can quietly slip from o...

In 1903, the Wright Brothers made history that changed the way the world travels. When the report reached Ohio, where the brothers would spend Christmas, a major detail was omitted from the newspaper. Today, this story serves as a powerful reminder not to miss the true meaning of Christmas.
