We serve God best when we have more confidence in Him than the things that frighten us. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the despair and hopelessness Jesus’ friends experienced on Easter, how they overcame that discouragement—and how we can, too. Apostles Thomas and Peter both stumbled in their faith after years of walking with Jesus, but He didn’t let them sit in their shame. Pastor Allen shows how Jesus took His friends’ burdens and replaced them with hope and courage, and he invites us to the same relationship with our Savior. The Church in the earth needs to be reawakened to the holiness of God, and that begins with us deciding to honor Him with our lives.

How to Take a Great Family Vacation Without Breaking the BankPlanning a family vacation is one of life’s great joys—and, if you’re not careful, one of its greatest budget busters. Here are some practical and encouraging tips on how to plan a memorable getaway without coming home to credit card regret.
1. Start with a Plan—and Start EarlyPlan ahead. Start early to maximize your options. That includes scouting for affordable destinations—especially those a little off the beaten path—and using tools like Google Flights to find the best travel deals.
Google Flights lets you enter your preferred dates and search anywhere for the lowest fares. It’s a great way to discover places you might not have thought of but can afford. Also, set a clear trip budget early on and decide as a family what matters most. Maybe it’s staying near the beach, and you're willing to save by eating in.
2. Look for Free ActivitiesYou’d be surprised how many free attractions are out there. Just type your destination and “free things to do” into a search engine. From parks and hiking trails to museums and community festivals, many cities offer hidden gems that cost nothing but create lasting memories.
3. Get the Whole Family InvolvedVacations are more meaningful when everyone has a say. Let your kids have a voice in the planning process. Even if they’re not picking the destination, they can help select activities. Better yet, give each family member a mini-budget to plan a portion of the trip.
This allows kids to learn about budgeting, decision-making, and the real cost of things, making the trip more personal and fun.
4. Be Strategic About MealsEating out can quickly blow your vacation budget. Instead, be intentional. That’s why it's recommended to stay at a hotel with a complimentary breakfast and bring snacks or simple meals from home.
Another good idea is to stop by a grocery store after you arrive. You can grab basics like peanut butter, bread, fruit, and chips. It’s way cheaper than dining out every meal.
Save the splurge for one nice dinner, and make it count—this way, you can enjoy a special moment without feeling guilty about the cost.
5. Set a Daily Spending LimitOne final way to stay on track financially is to set a daily limit for discretionary spending and make it a family challenge. How far can we stretch our budget today while still having fun?
This not only helps you stay on target, but it also models financial wisdom and creativity for your kids, transforming money management into a team effort.
Remember that the best vacation is the one you come home from without credit card debt. With some planning, creativity, and teamwork, your next family getaway can be a
Abraham’s plea for Sodom and Gomorrah teaches us powerful lessons about God’s justice and mercy. As Dr. John unpacks this passage, we see how Abraham's bargaining reveals God's heart for the righteous and His determination to treat them differently from the wicked. Through this prayer, we learn how to intercede for the nations, understanding God’s mind and praying with passion for His people.
Confident Faith: In this 4-week series on Genesis 18-25, Dr. John Neufeld looks at the life of Abraham and unpacks the topic of faith. How is faith formed? How does faith mature? And how can faith help us trust in what God has promised, even though we can’t see it yet?
