“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” — Mark 16:15 “If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land.” — Isaiah 1:19 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” — Ephesians 3:20 Have you ever felt like God promised you something big—perhaps to speak to the nations or impact countless lives—but you’re still waiting to see it happen? Before you assume God has forgotten His word to you, pause and Read More

Planted with Purpose
Every seed must first be buried before it can grow. Beneath the soil, unseen and surrounded by darkness, transformation begins. What looks like the end is actually the beginning of new life. In the same way, our walk with Christ often begins in hidden places—times of surrender, humility, and even brokenness. Jesus said, “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit” (John 12:24). Our spiritual growth starts when we die to our own desires, pride, and self-sufficiency, allowing God’s Word to take root deep within us. Read More
From Isolation to Invitation: The Gift of Gathering
Today’s message is a reminder that we should remain forever united. Psalm 133:1 states, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!” From Genesis to Revelation, God’s people are portrayed as a gathered people—united by faith, purpose, and love. Gathering is not just about showing up; it’s about showing who we belong to. When we gather, we reflect God’s heart for relationship and community. In the Garden of Eden, God walked with Adam in fellowship. In the wilderness, He gathered Israel around His presence in the tabernacle. In the New Testament, believers met Read More
It’s Time to Roar: A Call to Victory
I originally shared this message five years ago. This morning, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart: “My people are struggling. Share this word again and remind them of their identity and what I am preparing to do in their lives.” A Prophetic Word: ROAR Over the past few weeks, I’ve been hearing one word repeatedly from the Holy Spirit: ROAR. In every worship song, every sermon, every devotional—the theme of roaring kept appearing. After spending time in prayer and meditation on this word, God has released me to share what He’s been revealing. The time has come for God’s 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
Practicing God’s Presence
When we are faced with storms, we need to practice God’s presence. If we follow God’s plan, we can make it through life’s many storms. God hides us safely under the cover of His wings (Psalm 91), where no harm can come to us. All we have to do is abide forever in His presence. These lyrics from a song by Paul Wilbur (In Your Presence) inspire me. Whenever I am faced with what appears to be insurmountable trials, I listen to this song. By focusing on the Word, the storms no longer seem insurmountable. If you are facing storms, Read More
