Protecting the Wrong Thing
on August 18th, 2025
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” – Matthew 6:21 There’s an old story about a man named Castlereagh, heir to a once-great estate in Ireland. After generations of influence and wealth, the family castle sat abandoned, its stones being stolen piece by piece by the locals. Hoping to protect what remained, Castlereagh hired a mason to build a wall around the property. Years ...  Read More

The Beauty of Broken Things
on August 17th, 2025
“He blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.” – Matthew 14:19 Most of us love the idea of being a blessing. We want to be used by God, to make a difference in someone’s life, to offer something that matters. But the part we usually overlook is that our blessings often have to be broken before they can be multiplied. That truth shows up...  Read More

More Than Enough
on August 16th, 2025
“Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied. They picked up twelve baskets full of leftover pieces.” – Matthew 14:19-20 It’s one of the most familiar miracles in all of Scripture, but sometimes we’re so used to it that we forget just how staggering it really is. Thousands of people sitting on a hillside, hungry and tired after fol...  Read More

When Obedience Doesn’t Make Sense
on August 15th, 2025
“And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.’ And Simon answered, ‘Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.’” – Luke 5:4–5 Sometimes God asks you to do something that just doesn’t make sense. In Luke 5, we read about a group of professional fishermen who had spent the entire night do...  Read More

The Power in Just Showing Up
on August 14th, 2025
“They said to him, ‘We have only five loaves here and two fish.’” – Matthew 14:17 There’s a moment in the Gospels where Jesus feeds thousands of people with just five loaves of bread and two fish. You may have heard the story before. It’s one of the most famous miracles in the Bible, and for good reason. But the part that often gets overlooked is how it all started. It didn’t begin with Jesus snap...  Read More

A Little Can Bless a Lot
on August 13th, 2025
“They said to him, ‘We have only five loaves here and two fish.’” – Matthew 14:17 When we hear the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand, our attention usually lands on the miracle itself. We marvel at how so little became so much. We talk about Jesus’ compassion or the disciples’ doubts. But today, let’s zoom in on someone else. Someone easy to miss in the crowd. A boy. He was just one among t...  Read More

Bless Someone Today
on August 12th, 2025
"Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, he blessed them and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds." - Matthew 14:19 One of the most well-known miracles in Scripture is the feeding of the five thousand.

When the Cross Seems Questionable
on August 11th, 2025
“For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but it is the power of God to us who are being saved.” – 1 Corinthians 1:18 There is something about the cross that just doesn’t make sense to the world. Always has been. Always will be. Think about it. A sinless Savior dying for sinners who didn’t deserve it. A King giving up His crown to carry a cross. A God who could have cru...  Read More

Whose Glory Are You Seeking?
on August 10th, 2025
"Jesus answered them, ‘My teaching isn’t mine but is from the one who sent me.’” – John 7:16 Jesus lived every second of His life for the glory of the Father. That was His focus. That was His motivation. He didn’t seek applause or chase popularity. His message and His methods were shaped entirely by the will of God, not the opinions of people. Even though He lived in perfect obedience, people stil...  Read More

When Obedience Breaks Expectations
on August 9th, 2025
“Jesus replied to them, ‘It is not those who are healthy who need a doctor, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.’” – Luke 5:31-32 Sometimes obedience to God will confuse people. It did when Jesus walked the earth, and it still does now. His way of reaching people didn’t fit inside the boxes religious leaders had built. He healed at the wrong tim...  Read More

When Your Way Gets Questioned
on August 8th, 2025
"But the Pharisees and scribes were complaining, 'This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.'" – Luke 15:2 Jesus had a habit of doing things that didn’t make sense to the religious crowd. He healed on the Sabbath. He touched lepers. He ate with tax collectors. He welcomed children. He told stories instead of giving lectures. Time after time, His methods were questioned. And they still are. If y...  Read More

When They Question Your Why
on August 7th, 2025
"Then Mary took a pound of perfume, pure and expensive nard, anointed Jesus’s feet, and wiped his feet with her hair." – John 12:3 When Mary poured out that expensive perfume on Jesus in John 12, she wasn't trying to be impressive. She wasn’t calculating the cost or concerned about what others would say. She was simply expressing her love for Him in the purest way she knew how. And yet, the moment...  Read More
