Ammie Bouwman ~ Speaking Truth with Love

This Sunday, we're continuing our 6-week journey through the Book of Ephesians! Last week, we marveled at the miracle of grace in Chapter 2—how God took us from death to life, tearing down the dividing wall and making us one in Christ.

This week, we turn to Chapter 3, where Paul reveals an even deeper mystery: the breathtaking truth that God's plan of salvation isn't limited to one people group but extends to all humanity—Jews and Gentiles alike. We'll discover how this mystery shapes our mission and why Paul falls to his knees in prayer for us to grasp the boundless love of Christ.

Waiting can feel like the hardest part of the journey. Unanswered prayers. Delayed dreams. Silent seasons that test our faith and patience. But what if the waiting isn't wasted? What if God is doing His deepest work in us while we wait? Join us this week as we talk honestly about those in–between moments—and discover how hope grows even when the answer hasn't come yet. 

This Sunday, we're continuing our 6-week journey through the Book of Ephesians!  Last week, we discovered the truth of who we are in Christ—chosen, redeemed, and sealed by His Spirit. This week, we dive into Ephesians chapter 2, where Paul reminds us of the miracle of grace. Join us as we explore what it means to move from death to life and live out this incredible truth every day!

When we look at the world today, fire, flood, or tragedy could strike at any moment. What really matters then? What are you holding onto—and will it last?

Today on The Chair, we’re diving into real talk about what we cling to, what we release, and how to keep our eyes fixed on what’s eternal, not just what’s temporary. Join us for an honest conversation and fresh perspective.

This Sunday, we're kicking off a brand new 6-week series on the Book of Ephesians!  Each week, we'll dive into a different chapter and discover what it means for our lives today. We're starting with Ephesians chapter 1, exploring the powerful truth of our identity in Christ—who we truly are, not by what we've done, but by what He has done for us. We hope you'll join us for this journey through one of the most encouraging and transformative letters in the New Testament!

This week on The Chair , I talk about a waffle, a plastic knife, and what God taught me about how iron sharpens iron. 🔪✨ This week, we're also asking an important question: Who is in our tribe?

We're exploring Jesus' very first miracle — turning water into wine — and reflecting on this question: Are we waiting for a miracle in our own lives?

How do we step out in faith? That's what we'll be talking about this week on The Chair. I hope you'll join me!

This Sunday, we're asking the question: What are you carrying?

So often, we hold on to the past—unforgiveness, shame, bitterness, and regret. But isn't it getting heavy? It's time to lay it all down at the foot of the cross and walk in the freedom Jesus died to give you. 

As we approach the 4th of July, we’re diving into the origin of Independence Day—and reflecting on the true meaning of freedom. Not just the kind our nation celebrates, but the lasting freedom we have in Christ.Let’s pause, reflect, and celebrate the One who sets us free indeed. 
Join me this week—You won’t want to miss it!
