Scripture: Isaiah 53:5 “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.” The cross addresses more than forgiveness, it reveals the full scope of Christ’s redemption. Jesus died for our sins, settling the debt we could never repay. But before the cross, there was the beating. Before it was finished, healing was secured. The suffering of Jesus was intentional. Every stri

Scripture: Jeremiah 38–39 2 Kings 24:18–25:7   Take some time today to read about King Zedekiah. King Zedekiah’s story reveals a sobering truth: knowing God’s will is not the same as obeying it. Zedekiah did not lack access to God’s voice. The prophet Jeremiah spoke clearly and consistently, warning the king of what would happen if he refused to surrender to Babylon. God’s instruction was not confusing; it was costly. And that cost is where Zedekiah hesitated. He sought God’s

Scripture: “Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them.” ~Proverbs 4:5 In this verse, Solomon doesn’t offer wisdom as a suggestion, but as a priority. “Get” implies intentional pursuit. There's that word again "intentional". As believers, WE MUST BE INTENTIONAL! Intentional about attending church. Intentional about tithing. Intentional about serving. Intentional about saving. Intentional about loving others. Intentional about our eating habit

Scripture: “ But his delight is in the law of the Lord… He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season.” — Psalm 1:2–3 Where you go to church matters. It’s not about convenience or tradition. Scripture reminds us that growth is connected to where we are planted. A tree doesn’t thrive just anywhere; no, a tree flourishes when it is rooted in the right soil, with water and proper care. The right church is not a perfect church.

Psalm 145:1–3 I will exalt You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable. Praise Is a Choice; It’s Intentional Psalm 145 opens with a powerful declaration from David. His declaration is not a reaction to circumstances, but a decision of the heart. “I will exalt you… I will praise Your name forever and eve

Many people spend their lives striving to earn God’s favor. We try to be better, pray harder, and prove our worthiness. This constant effort can leave us feeling exhausted and never quite enough. Yet, Ephesians 2:6 offers a powerful truth that changes everything: we are already seated with Christ  in the heavenly realms. This truth is not about a future promise or something to achieve later. It is a present reality. God has raised us up and seated us with Christ. Our spiritua

Scripture Focus: Jeremiah 2:13 Have you ever eaten something so often that you craved it constantly? You could eat it every day, shoot maybe even multiple times a day. There was a season in my life when I lived on Oodles of Noodles. It filled me for a while… until it didn’t. Eventually my palate matured, and what once satisfied me no longer did. That’s how spiritual growth works too. There are seasons when the things of this world seem fulfilling: relationships, attention, su

Isn’t it amazing how your faith can feel so strong in certain areas? You're just minding your business, trusting God and BOOM!!!! Something unexpected comes along and shakes you to the core, challenging the very thing you've been believing Him for. In times like these, God reminds us: “I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.” — D
