For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” | Galatians 5:14

New Beginnings

So that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. | Ephesians 3:10

Hope Breaking Through

The unstoppable hope of Jesus allows us to live in the realm of possibility and not crippled in our realm of reality.

When We're Discouraged

When things get hard, it is in our nature to look for reasons but it is God's nature to offer relationship.

Remember God

Rising Levels of Hope

Esther

CONTENT NOTE: This message was delivered to a mixed room with children present. Due to this fact, we avoided the very accurate words like “rape” or “trafficked”. You will hear softer phrases like “this was against her will” or “she was taken”. But we want to clearly state that Esther did not desire this. She was trafficked into this situation. She was forced to have sex with the king. And yet, God used this horrible situation for his glory.

Man After God's Own Heart

Legends and Their Fall
