The Messengers

Do you know you are precious to God? You may not feel like it, but He sees you as special and worthy. We must know how important we are to Him. We are worthy of all He has for us, not because of what we have done, but just because He loves us.

The Stripes of Jesus and the Blood of Jesus is a powerful teaching that highlights the two sides of Christ’s sacrifice. His stripes purchased our healing, and His blood purchased our forgiveness. Through His suffering, Jesus carried our sickness, broke the power of sin, and restored us to wholeness. This message reminds us that Jesus didn’t just save our souls—He heals, redeems, and transforms eve...

Are you confused about the truth? There is so much misinformation about God today. The truth is that He loves us all and wants to be part of our lives. Each of us is very precious to Him. Since the beginning, the enemy has tried to hide the truth about God. But the enemy is, and always has been, a liar. Tricia shares some important truths in this episode. Please reach out if you have any questions...

Have you ever wanted more wisdom on being a Christian?  You will find many answers in the book of James.  He was the half-brother of Jesus and one of the main leaders in the church at that time. He writes powerful lessons for us to learn even today.  Study and meditation on this book will lead you into newfound respect and love for yourself and others.  Marcus and Tricia enjoy taking you through t...

Do you feel you aren’t worthy enough for Jesus to care about you? In the parable of Jesus leaving the 99 sheep to go after the lost one, it seems Jesus didn’t care about the other 99. This is not true. Jesus loves them so much He trusts them to stay in the green pastures where He left them. Do you consider yourself one of the 99, or the special sheep Jesus is looking for right now? Marcus and Tric...

In this devotion, Marcus unpacks Paul’s words from 1 Corinthians 3:1–9, where the apostle challenges the church in Corinth for acting like spiritual infants. Instead of growing in Christ, they were splitting into camps, following their favorite leaders, and missing the point. Marcus reminds us that Paul planted, Apollos watered—but only God makes anything grow. True maturity comes when we stop ido...

Life can throw storms our way, but Romans 12:12 gives us God’s recipe: be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer. Joy is more than a feeling—it’s a confident expectation in God’s promises. Patience reminds us that Jesus is still on the throne, no matter the trial. Faithful prayer keeps us grounded, lifting our needs and the needs of others before the Lord. When we live this...

🌊 Life has storms. Peace has an Anchor. In a world that steals sleep, drains joy, and fills your mind with “what ifs,” Jesus offers something stronger than calm waters—He offers His peace. 💬 “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you…” – John 14:27 This isn’t fragile peace that depends on good news or easy days. It’s a fierce, unshakable peace that stands guard over your heart and mind, even i...

Do you realize God knew you before the creation of the world? God loves us so much He lovingly formed us in our mother's womb. The Bible says we are called children of God when we accept Jesus as our Savior.

Would you enjoy a kind of peace that goes beyond anything you can even imagine? Think of the most peaceful scenario and then multiply it infinitely. That is the kind of peace God longs to give you.

God...

Do you hope to have more courage in your life? Hoping in God gives a joyful trust we can have what we need. One area we all should be strong in is boldness. Jesus sent His disciples out boldly so they could proclaim the good news of Who He was. As believers, we are to be bold, too. Not in our own strength, but in God's. When we put our hope in Him, we can walk boldly and do His will. Marcus brings...

Marcus and Tricia invite you to join them as they look deeper into these trut...

Do you ever wonder how God sees you? He doesn't get mad when you make a mistake. He isn't frustrated or upset because you don't do everything perfectly. When you make Jesus the Savior of your life, God sees Jesus when He sees you. You are perfect to God, not because of what you do, but just because He loves you. Marcus shares more about how we are all crated lovingly by God.

Do wonder if you are loved? We may not feel love from people around us, but we are completely loved by God. There is nothing we can ever do to stop His love for us. We can never love Him as much as He loves us, but He doesn't expect us to do that. He simply wants to be loved by us with all our hearts. Tricia's devotion speaks of the love God has for us. Enjoy!

Have you ever wondered why people end their prayers with amen? One of the definitions is, “Let it be.” When ending our prayers, as we see in this verse, we should praise God, not because He needs it, but because we do. When we ask for something, we should praise God to remind us of Who He is and then put our faith in agreement and say, “Amen.” This is certainly not the only way to pray, because pr...
