March 29th, 2026 | It’s possible to celebrate Jesus and still resist the way He actually works. God’s ways often challenge our expectations, requiring surrender, openness, and trust in His Spirit rather than control. When we lay things down and become receptive to Him, we step into the power and purpose He’s already prepared. A life open to the Holy Spirit becomes a life that boldly points to Jesus, even when it looks unexpected.

March 22nd, 2026 | Romans 1:16 reminds us that the Gospel is the power of God for salvation, yet fear of people often keeps us silent. This message confronts the struggle between seeking human approval and fearing the Lord, calling us to live for an audience of One. As we recognize God’s holiness and the truth of the Gospel, we begin to overcome compromise and stand firm with confidence in Him. A life shaped by His approval leads to boldness, clarity, and faithfulness in a world that often resists the truth.

March 15th, 2026 | In Acts 8, we see how God used ordinary obedience to accomplish extraordinary gospel impact. When Philip followed the Spirit’s leading, he discovered that living unashamed of the gospel means being attentive to the people and places God puts in front of us. The good news of Jesus Christ is for everyone, and God often works through simple steps of faith, conversation, and compassion. As we grow in awareness of God’s work around us, we learn to live intentionally so that others might encounter the saving power of the gospel.

March 8th, 2026 | In Acts 19 we see a striking moment when a demon says, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize—but who are you?” The passage exposes the difference between using the name of Jesus and truly belonging to His kingdom. The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ has accomplished everything necessary for sinners to be reconciled to God through His life, death, and resurrection. As followers of Christ, we are called to live unashamed of this truth, trusting that the power of the gospel—not human approval—brings salvation and eternal joy.

March 1st, 2026 | Psalm 23 shows us a Shepherd who does more than lead us through valleys—He prepares a table in the middle of them. God’s presence is revealed not only by where He takes us, but by how He meets us, feeds us, and anoints us along the way. Even in the presence of enemies, His ways produce abundance, restoration, and confidence rooted in who He is. Learning to live Coram Deo means staying receptive to the table He prepares and trusting that His goodness outlasts every threat.

February 15th, 2026 | Psalm 23 reveals a life shaped not by circumstances, but by closeness to Yahweh. God’s provision flows from His preparation, and His care is found in being with Him, not just receiving from Him. Restoration, direction, and peace are often formed through preparation before they are experienced as provision. True fullness is discovered when proximity to the Shepherd becomes the measure of life.

February 8th, 2026 | Psalm 23 offers comfort, connection, and confrontation, not in the ways we might expect, but in the ways we most need. It invites us to start with the real God, not a version shaped by our preferences, expectations, or need for control. As Yahweh reveals Himself as the Shepherd, it reshapes who we are, how we live, and what we trust for life. Along the way, it comforts our hearts while also confronting who we believe Him to be and who we are becoming in response to His presence.

February 1st, 2026 | God meets us where we are to lead us toward what truly matters. In Acts 2, hearts are awakened by the reality of Jesus, crucified, risen, and reigning. When God becomes what matters most, everything else begins to take its proper place. It points us toward a life shaped by seeking His presence and living with the awareness that He is with us.

January 25th, 2026 | Our thinking shapes how we live, love, and follow Jesus. Scripture reminds us that being raised with Christ means setting our minds on what is above. This truth invites us to examine what occupies our thoughts and who truly owns our mindset. A call to renewal, focus, and life lived in God’s presence.
