Rahab the harlot would have been a part of the destruction of Jericho had she been like the rest of Jericho. They all heard of the great and awesome things Almighty God was doing for His people, the Israelites, but only Rahab responded in faith to what she heard about God. Her faith was simple, saving, and working. What about you? How's your faith? What is God revealing to you that you need to respond in faith to?

In todays text we’re invited to glimpse Jesus in a way that redefines our understanding of who He is and what He does for us. This passage challenges us to see Him not only as the Savior who redeemed us, but as our Great High Priest—one who knows our struggles firsthand, who stands with us in our weaknesses, and who intercedes for us with deep compassion. It’s a portrait of Jesus that speaks to anyone who has ever felt weary, tempted, or unsure of how to approach God. Here, we’re called to draw near to the throne of grace, to find strength and mercy in the One who is both mighty and merciful. Today, let’s explore what it means to trust in the One who doesn’t just rule from heaven but has walked where we walk and offers us His very life as an anchor for our souls.

Good morning, church! Today, we’ll be diving into a passage from Paul’s letter to Titus that speaks directly to how we, as believers, are called to live in a world that doesn't always align with our faith. This section in Titus challenges us to reflect on our conduct, both as members of the church and as citizens of the world. It addresses how we interact with others, how we display Christ-like character in our daily lives, and how we handle divisions within the body of Christ. As we explore this text together, I want us to ask: How does the grace we’ve received shape our actions, attitudes, and relationships? Let’s open our hearts and minds to God’s Word as we consider what it means to live out our faith in a way that reflects His transforming grace.

As we open to Colossians today, we are stepping into a passage that lifts our eyes to the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ. Here, Paul reveals the glory of Jesus in a way that goes beyond mere theology—this is a powerful declaration about who Christ is, what He has done, and the central place He holds in all of creation and redemption. As we reflect on these verses, let us be prepared not only to understand more deeply who Christ is but also to consider how this truth transforms our lives, our worship, and our relationship with God.

Faith can be a struggle because life can be challenging. Sometimes, it is easy to lose sight of what God has done and is doing because all you can see is the walls closing in. Today, we will look at a prayer written by Paul from prison. If you let him, Paul will help you live with a perspective that will help you trust in the right source who is building you into a house fit for a king. Paul allowed hardships to make him better, not bitter. Life is hard, but God is good. God is not done with you. Hang on and be patient.

Today, we delve into a passage that challenges us to reflect on the nature of our calling as followers of Christ. It’s a call to examine not only how we live our individual lives but how we contribute to the larger body of believers. This message isn't just about personal faith, but about how our lives impact and strengthen the unity and growth of the church. As we explore this text, we'll consider what it means to live in a way that honors our calling and builds up the community of faith, drawing us closer to the fullness of Christ together.

We live in a weird time and culture. Our culture has an unhealthy balance between what I deserve and what I must earn. The problem is many of us carry this imbalance into our relationship with Jesus. Sometimes, we live in the “I deserve it” world where you are baffled when you don’t get everything you want and desire. Or when things don’t go your way, you’re mad at the “Good God” who isn’t showing up. The other side of this coin is “you must earn it”, that nothing is free, and if you aren’t getting what you need, it’s because you didn’t do the right thing or pray the proper prayer. Today’s text from Galatians 3 will help clarify that the righteous of God are called to live by faith and not by the Law.

What does real strength look like to you? As Americans, it sure isn’t embracing and exposing our weaknesses. Weak is not something most people in this world walk out the door hoping to become. We have fought hard to hide our weaknesses. Many of us in the room are proud of our ability to seem strong to others when, in fact, we are struggling and insecure. Sometimes, I am good at hiding it; sometimes, I do not. Like everyone else, I want to be strong, but like most people, I do it the wrong way. Today, we will look at what Paul thinks real strength looks like.
