Rosh Hashanah 2025 began at sundown on Monday, September 22, and will continue through sundown on Wednesday, September 24, 2025. Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: ראש השנה), means “head of the year”. It is the start of the Jewish New Year and is the first of the High Holy days or Days of Awe celebrated ten days before Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanah is the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, a day of judgment and coronation, and is celebrated with the sounding of the shofar, prayer, and eating sweet foods. So why should we as Christians celebrate this Jewish holy Read More

No Permission Needed
There is room at the table for all of us. We do not have to fight each other. God equipped us and gave us permission the moment we were conceived. If you are not able to find the table God prepared for you, you need to create one and invite others to join you. Exercise the power of agreement.
TRUST: Receiving the PROMISE
Trust in God’s promise to do exactly what He said He would do. He will never fail you. Some of you need to ‘pack a box.’ God gave you a word (a covenant promise), and you still have not seen the fulfillment. Are you starting to doubt that you heard correctly? If you want something you have never had, you need to do something you have never done. If God told you the ‘house you wanted was coming’ and you still have not started packing, you need to ‘pack a box.’ Do something, by faith, to show that you have confident Read More
When Finite Meets Infinite: Job’s Lesson in Humility
I’ve been reading the book of Job for the last couple of weeks. Job was subjected to a tremendous amount of suffering, and he had questions. We often find ourselves in the same predicament. We are facing trials and tribulations, and we want answers from God. I think it is appropriate to ask questions without blaming God. When Job started to question God, God had a few questions of His own to ask Job. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said: Who is this that darkens counsel [questioning my authority and wisdom] by words without knowledge? Read More
God’s Heart: A Covenant of Love
This week, I want to extend an invitation for you to focus on God’s Covenant of Love for his people. God’s love for humanity is characterized by personal relationship, covenant faithfulness, and redemptive action. Genesis 1:27 establishes that humans are created “in the image of God,” setting them apart from the rest of creation with unique dignity and purpose. This divine image-bearing creates the foundation for a personal relationship between God and humanity that doesn’t exist with other aspects of creation. The covenant relationship God establishes with humanity demonstrates His committed love. From His promises to Abraham through the new Read More
Nehemiah 6:3 – Why Should I?
In Nehemiah 6:3, Nehemiah was taking care of kingdom business. Each day, we have a mandate from God to work diligently to complete our God-given assignments and not fight battles that do not concern us. Ask yourself this question: Why should I??? Jesus said in Luke 2:49, I must be about my Father’s business. So why should I stop to answer questions or argue about meaningless dialogues? Nehemiah 6:3 says: “So I sent messengers to them, saying, ‘I am doing a great work and cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to Read More
