Weekly Inspiration 7/30/2026

The word hope has become much debased in our culture of wishful thinking. We hope for all manner of things: a sunny day; to win the lottery; to recover from an illness. Hope has become kind thoughts, much like the thoughts and prayers of so many politicians. But there is nothing kind or wishful about Christian hope. For the followers of Jesus, faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Weekly Inspiration (6/25/26)

Every morning as we awake, when our rumbling stomachs tell us that our body needs breakfast, we should pause and remember that our ‘rumbling’ spirits need refueling as well! Ask yourself: How is my spirit being fed right now? What am I consuming? Is it good for me? Am I spiritually undernourished?

Weekly Inspiration (2/19/26)

“Just as the original disciples went outward on missions to dangerous places, try going inward to dangerous places. Explore the smoldering resentments you have. Take a long, scenic look at the guilt and shame you’ve carried in your gut for decades. Always remember that Jesus is following you just as he followed those disciples….” Come join us on our community website to reflect on this quote of the week. We hope it helps you find some inspiration this week.

What People are Saying…

  • “This is very compassionate congregations. I, as an Asian, visited in their worship service. They not only greet my family but also accepted us as if we were their family in Christ. True love of Christ is present in this church. I think that where Christ is, there is love, and where genuine love is, there Christ must be present. I am very impressed and touched by the love of Christ that they are showing with many acts, not with much words.”
