When the Work Feels Too Hard
on July 13th, 2025
"But the one who hears and does not act is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The river crashed against it, and immediately it collapsed. And the destruction of that house was great" - Luke 6:49 Let’s be honest. Living for Jesus is not always easy. Obedience sounds simple in theory, but when it comes time to actually do it, the work can wear you down. Forgiving people...  Read More

Dig Deeper Before the Storm
on July 12th, 2025
"He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the river crashed against that house and couldn’t shake it, because it was well built" - Luke 6:48 Jesus did not just ask a hard question in Luke 6. He followed it with a picture that hits home. Two people built houses. Both had the same materials. Both faced the same storm. One stood strong....  Read More

When “Lord” is Just a Word
on July 11th, 2025
"Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things I say?" - Luke 6:46 Sometimes the most powerful questions are the ones that hit close to home. Jesus asked a question in Luke 6 that still cuts straight to the heart. Why do you call me Lord, but then ignore what I say? He is not asking for information. He is pointing out a gap. A gap between our words and our lives. Between our Sunday decl...  Read More

Running on Empty
on July 10th, 2025
"And why do you worry about clothes? Observe how the wildflowers of the field grow: They don’t labor or spin thread" - Matthew 6:28 There’s a kind of tired that sleep does not fix. The kind where your mind keeps racing even when your body is still. The kind where you wake up more exhausted than when you went to bed. Jesus knew that kind of tired, and He spoke right into it. He used wildflowers to ...  Read More

Quit Trying to Outmuscle Worry
on July 9th, 2025
"Therefore I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing?" - Matthew 6:25 Most of us do not need someone to tell us life is heavy. We already feel it. The weight of responsibility. The pressure to perform. The constant tug-of-war between what we can control and wha...  Read More

Let Go of the Grip
on July 8th, 2025
"For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them" - Matthew 6:32 There is a tightness that comes with worry. You feel it in your chest. In your shoulders. In your jaw. It shows up when you are gripping life too hard, convinced that if you just hold on tighter, things will finally come together. But that grip is not strength. It is fear dressed up a...  Read More

Go to the Right Well
on July 7th, 2025
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you." - Matthew 6:33 Out in the fields, wildflowers bloom without trying. They do not strain to grow or panic about the weather. They just receive. God provides the sun, the rain, and the soil. Everything they need comes from outside themselves. And Jesus says we should take a good look at that. Tha...  Read More

Where Are You Looking?
on July 6th, 2025
"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things" - Colossians 3:2 Worry does not always start big. It can begin with a glance. A thought. A tiny distraction that slowly grows until it grabs hold of your full attention. The more you stare at it, the bigger it gets. Jesus knew this. That is why when He talked about worry, He did not just say stop it. He told us to change what we are looking a...  Read More

Answer the Right Questions
on July 5th, 2025
"Can any of you add one moment to his life span by worrying?" - Matthew 6:27 Sometimes Jesus taught by telling stories. Other times, He taught by asking questions. And in Matthew 6, He fires off a whole bunch of them. Not to confuse us, but to get us thinking. Because worry makes you ask all the wrong questions. What if this happens? What if that falls apart? What if I cannot hold it all together?...  Read More

Change What You’re Looking At
on July 4th, 2025
"Consider the birds of the sky, they don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they?" - Matthew 6:26 Most of the time, worry does not come from what is actually happening. It comes from how we see what is happening. That is why Jesus did not just tell folks to stop worrying in Matthew 6. He showed them a better way to see. A new perspec...  Read More

Where Security Really Comes From
on July 3rd, 2025
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you" - Matthew 6:33 Everybody wants to feel secure. You want to know that the bills will get paid. That your kids will be alright. That your body will stay healthy. That the people you love will stick around. But the more you try to control everything, the more it slips through your fingers. That is...  Read More

Where Worry Grows
on July 2nd, 2025
"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you" - 1 Peter 5:7 Worry has a way of growing in the quiet places. It does not always shout. Sometimes it whispers. A passing thought. A what-if. A small feeling in the pit of your stomach that builds until you cannot sleep at night. Worry creeps in like a weed, and if you do not deal with it, it will take over everything. It started back in th...  Read More
