We're stepping into Advent 2025 with this reminder: unmet longings aren't signs of God's absence—they're sacred spaces where He meets us. 

God's love isn't transactional—it's sacrificial. Jesus didn't die on the cross to get something in return. He gave everything, asking nothing back. 

When prayers seem unanswered and hope feels deferred, we have choices: turn away from God, settle for dead religion, or press deeper into relationship with Him. Zechariah and Elizabeth chose faithfulness. And it was in their continued service, despite disappointment, that an angel appeared with news that would change the world. They wanted a child. God gave them John the Baptist—the one who would prepare the way for the Messiah. 

God's thoughts are higher than ours. His ways surpass our understanding. We know what we want, but God knows what we need. He is able to do "abundantly far more than we can ask or imagine." 

This Advent, what deferred hope are you carrying? Are you willing to let God answer differently—and better—than you expected?

This week Jay Dietz of Trinity Church Sugar Land, will share personal insights on  seeing the unchanging faithfulness of God in every season of life—joyful or difficult, clear or confusing. Scripture reminds us that God’s character does not shift with our circumstances; His promises stand firm. In Philippians 4:6–7 Paul teaches that instead of being overwhelmed by worry, believers are invited to bring every concern before God through earnest prayer and thankful hearts. When we do, God responds not merely by solving our problems, but by guarding our hearts and minds with His supernatural peace—peace that surpasses all human understanding.

In the midst of your wilderness season, when prayers feel unanswered and hope seems distant, remember this powerful truth: God's faithfulness matters more than your perfection.

Here's what changes everything: Hannah wasn't answered because she was more spiritual or more righteous than anyone else. She was answered because God is faithful. The same God who remembered Hannah is the same God who remembers you today.

Maybe you've been praying for breakthrough. Maybe you've questioned whether God even hears you. Maybe you've doubted yourself right out of persistent prayer. Today is your reminder: keep praying fervently, keep seeking persistently, because you serve a remembering God.

Where are you experiencing barrenness today? Bring it before the Lord. He sees you. He hears you. And He remembers you.

Death is a mystery that has puzzled humanity for generations. Scripture gives us enough to stand on with confidence and hope.

The most important truth? The resurrection is not speculation—it's a certainty. When Jesus quoted Moses at the burning bush, He affirmed that God is "the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob"—present tense. God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. They are alive to Him.

So today, let's not grieve as those who have no hope. Instead, let's live with the assurance that our relationship with God transcends death itself. Are you in Christ? Then you are a child of God and a child of the resurrection. That's not just hope—that's reality.

In Psalm 119, we’re reminded that God's promises are "well tried" – He can be trusted, He is dependable. Even in our darkest moments when we question "God, where are you?" – looking back, we often see His hand was there all along, guiding us through the storm rather than always removing us from it.

Whatever you're walking through right now, whatever darkness surrounds you, remember this promise from Hebrews: "He who has promised is faithful."

Faithful He has been. Faithful He will be. Time and time again, His word returns complete.

What does it really cost to follow Jesus? 

We often think salvation is free—and it is. There's nothing we can do to earn it. But Jesus reminds us that while salvation costs us nothing, discipleship costs us everything.

So is it worth it?

The question is: can you afford not to?

Kingdom Builders: Are You Ready for the Cost of Discipleship?

'Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.' - Luke 14:27

Humility: The Key to Transformation 🔑

'If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.' - 2 Chronicles 7:14

This week, we explore with Trinity Church Sugar Land how true transformation in our lives begins with humility. Like King David, we're called to listen to God's voice, admit our shortcomings, and surrender to Jesus as our true King. 

Are you ready to step down from your own throne and make room for Christ? Remember, we can't serve both ourselves and God. Choose humility, and watch as God's transformative power works in your life and our community.

Let's humble ourselves, pray, and seek God's face together. Who knows? We might just see our land healed. 🙏
