Psalm 82

Asaph was not a king, prophet, or warrior—he was a songwriter. A poet. A worship leader in the temple who gave voice to both the beauty and the brokenness of life with God.

Through Asaph’s songs, we discover that faith is not about having it all togethe...

Acts 16:16-40, Beaten and chained, Paul and Silas sing. Not because they’re unafraid but because their hope is rooted deeper than circumstance. A jailer’s heart opens. A city has changed.

Acts 16:11-15 - By a river, with no synagogue in sight, a woman named Lydia opens her heart. There is no altar call, no stadium crowd  just quiet hospitality and holy conversation because Paul listened to the Holy Spirit.

Acts 16:1-10

Ross Bentley takes us through Acts 15:36-41. Paul and Barnabas part ways,  a rift between friends. The gospel goes on, not because of perfect unity, but because grace refuses to waste even our divisions. God can work even through our fractures, nothing surrendered is wasted.

From Eden to the New Creation, God’s plan has always been to restore what was lost.
