Paslm 34:1-8

These verses are a heartfelt declaration of praise and trust in God. David commits to continually praising the Lord, encouraging others to join him in glorifying God. He recounts how God delivered him from fear and trouble when he sought Him. Those who look to God are radiant and never ashamed. The psalm highlights God's attentiveness to the humble and those in need , His protection through His angel, and the goodness found in trusting Him.

2 Timothy 1:1-7In the opening of this letter, Paul introduces himself as an apostle of Christ by God’s will and addresses Timothy as his beloved spiritual son. He expresses gratitude to God and recalls Timothy’s sincere faith, which first lived in his grandmother Lois and mother Eunice. Paul encourages Timothy to rekindle the spiritual gift God gave him through the laying on of hands. He reminds him that God has not given a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

This passage recounts a period of prosperity and conflict in Isaac’s life. Isaac sows crops in Gerar and receives a hundredfold harvest, a sign of God's blessing. He becomes very wealthy, accumulating flocks, herds, and servants. The Philistines grow envious and stop up the wells his father Abraham had dug. Eventually, Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, tells Isaac to leave because he has become too powerful.

Isaac moves to the Valley of Gerar, reopens his father’s wells, and digs new ones. However, local herders quarrel with his servants over the new water sources, leading to ongoing disputes.

Acts 1:9-11 The disciples stood there gazing, frozen between wonder and uncertainty.

But Heaven didn’t leave them stuck — it gave them a shove toward action!

The same question comes to us today — Why are you still standing here? What now?

John 1:29-34

If you want to understand Easter—

If you want to grasp the weight of salvation—

If you want to know what real love looks like...

Then don’t just look at the tomb...

Don’t just glance at the cross...

Watch. The. Lamb

Jesus enters Jerusalem to shouts of praise, but He begins to weep. Why? Because they missed the hour of their visitation. They had expectations—but they were too small, too shallow, and too self-serving. Jesus came not to meet man'sexpectations, but to fulfill God’s promise

2 Kings 6:8–23
Before you know what to DO, you better know what NOT to do.

• DO NOT FEAR
• DO NOT FOCUS ON CIRCUMSTANCES
• DO NOT FORGET WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST
• DO NOT RESPOND IN THE FLESH

Let’s be honest—some of us treat the Holy Spirit like we treat guests in an Airbnb.

As an Airbnb host, I know a thing or two:

• Guests don’t get full access.
• Certain areas are locked.
• They can’t move walls or change the layout.
• And most of all, they don’t stay forever.

We do the same thing with the Holy Spirit—invite Him in on Sunday, maybe Wednesday, but keep the “DO NOT ENTER” signs up in our hearts. That’s Airbnb Christianity. But Romans 8:11 calls us to something deeper—habitation, not visitation.

And the Spirit we’re talking about? He’s not new on the scene.

• This Same Spirit who hovered over the waters at Creation.
• This Same Spirit who raised Jesus from the grave.
• This Same Spirit now dwells in you.

Phil and Pam Stevens deliver a powerful message woven with personal stories of faith, resilience, and a call to action for community service, emphasizing that everyone has a role to play in revitalizing the church and the community. Their aim to connect with local churches and provide support speaks to a deeper need for spiritual revival and connection in America today, highlighting the importance of faith in navigating challenges and creating lasting change.

• Substance is something tangible, something real. Hope alone can feel like a dream, but faith gives it form. Faith turns a vision into reality, a possibility into a promise, and a word into a witness!

• Evidence means proof! The world says, “I’ll believe it when I see it,” but faith says, “I believe it before I see it!” Faith is believing in the unseen because God has already spoken it!
• Hope sets the destination, but faith fuels the journey. If you hope for something, your faith is what makes you move toward it.
