Favor to Bless the Nations God’s favor on your life is never meant to stop with you. He blesses you so that through you, others may be blessed. Joseph’s story comes full circle in Pharaoh’s palace. After years of betrayal, slavery, and prison, Joseph was suddenly brought before Pharaoh to interpret a troubling dream. God gave Joseph wisdom and discernment, and Pharaoh elevated him to second-in-command over all Egypt. “Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, ‘Since God has made all this known to you,...

Anointed in the Ordinary When we think of being anointed, we often picture something dramatic—oil poured out, a special title, or a big platform. But Joseph’s life shows us another side: sometimes we are anointed in the ordinary. Joseph was sold into slavery and taken to Egypt. On the surface, it looked like his life had been reduced to nothing. Yet even there, God’s favor rested on him. “The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his...

Favor Backlash Have you ever noticed that when God’s favor is on your life, it doesn’t always make things easier? Sometimes, it actually stirs up opposition. That’s what Joseph experienced. His father Jacob loved him deeply and gave him a robe that set him apart from his brothers. “Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made an ornate robe for him.”— Genesis 37:3 That robe wasn’t just a gift. It was a symbol of favor. And...

Pressed but Not Crushed God has a call on your life. Even when the road is hard, even when the weight feels heavy, His hand is on you. You are chosen, you are loved, and you are being shaped for purpose. Sometimes, following God doesn’t feel easy. There are days when the pressure of life is real—struggles at work, family tensions, financial burdens, or the quiet battles no one else sees. And yet, even in those moments, God’s Word reminds us that His Spirit is greater than the weight we carry....

Bringing Heaven to Earth What if your life could change the atmosphere around you? What if everywhere you went—work, home, church—you carried the presence of God in such a way that others experienced His love, His peace, and His joy? That’s exactly what happens when you live filled with the Spirit. You are not saved only to one day go to heaven—you are filled with the Holy Spirit to bring heaven to earth right now. Barnabas shows us how powerful this is. When persecution scattered the early...

The Last Days and the Death of Charlie Kirk God will offend the mind to reveal the heart… On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, we were hit by the news that Charlie Kirk had been shot. We were walking into our weekly prayer meeting. We urgently went into prayer for his life to be spared. By the end of the meeting, the news had come: Charlie Kirk had died. We grieve the loss of a young lion of the faith—a man committed to speaking with his generation about their beliefs and worldviews. A man who...

The Power of Encouragement Some people are remembered for their titles. Others are remembered for their accomplishments. Barnabas was remembered for one thing: encouragement. The apostles even gave him a new name. His real name was Joseph, but Acts 4:36 says they called him Barnabas, which means “Son of Encouragement.” Think about that. He wasn’t first known for preaching sermons or leading movements. He was known for showing up with encouragement. His presence lifted others. His words gave...

Anointed for Purpose Have you ever thought, “I’m nothing special. I’m just me.”It’s easy to believe that anointing is for someone else—kings, priests, prophets, pastors. But the truth of Scripture says something greater: every believer in Jesus is anointed. To be anointed means you are chosen and empowered by God for a purpose.That’s not a title you earn. That’s an identity God gives. In the Old Testament, oil was poured on the heads of kings, priests, and prophets. It was the sign they were...

Have you ever wondered if your life really matters? Maybe you’ve asked yourself: Does it even matter if I show up? If I pray? If I speak up? Here’s the truth: your presence matters. You don’t need a stage or a microphone to carry spiritual influence. You don’t need your name at the top of an org chart to change lives. Wherever you go, the Spirit of God goes with you. That means your workplace is better because you’re there.Your family is stronger because you’re following Jesus.Our church is...
