Living with uncertainty can take its toll. The normal day to day is replaced with fear, worry, doubt. When our “normal” is disrupted, our surroundings begin to feel weak, foundations begin to rattle our lives become…disoriented. Even in our darkest moments, when the last thread of hope has unraveled from our being, we must dwell on truth. We must remember, no matter what is happening around us, God is still sovereign. He is not surprised by this moment. Today let us dwell on the truth of Easter. The stone has been rolled away. The grave has been rendered powerless. Death has transformed to life. Night has been overcome by Day. In our fear, He is still risen. In our worry, He is still victorious. In our doubt, He is still alive. When everything seems hopeless…The hope of Easter remains.

Today is the day. This is the time. God is worthy of praise right here and right now. It’s time to surrender our all for the sake of His glory. It’s time to worship Jesus with our whole hearts. Today is the day!

A beautiful opening prayer to begin your next service or time of worship.

In the midst of uncertainty, our faith can struggle, our walk becomes labored, and our heart heavy. There’s something about the unknown which seems to weaken us. It drains our patience and blurs our focus. Yet, in the middle of everything stands a faithful God. A God who is not swayed by the struggle and isn’t moved by the winds of chaos. A God who remains faithful even when our faith is fragile. It seems more difficult than ever to not worry about tomorrow, yet that’s exactly what God has asked us to do. For when we cast our burdens on Him, the troubles of the moment begin to fade. When we trust the plans He has for us, our fear begins to subside. When we fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, our focus becomes consumed by clarity. Yes, we are in the midst of uncertainty, but we can be certain of one thing…God is faithful, and that is more than enough for tomorrow.

Many of us have been doing church differently. Sunday mornings have become a bit more casual, living rooms and coffee shops have become sanctuaries and fellowship has a new, less personal touch. It hasn’t been easy, yet here we are. Gathering, worshipping, learning…being the Church. Now, more than ever, we are reminded of a simple truth. The Church is not a building, it is the body of Christ. It isn’t built with brick and mortar, but with faith…and hope. In the midst of uncertainty, our calling remains the same. To share the truth of the Gospel with a world God loves. Throughout history The Church has prospered in difficult times. And today is no different. We are still the church…We’re just doing things a bit differently.

These are challenging times. The division and frustration are palpable. The balance is constantly shifting. The lines, consistently blurred. Truths, half-truths, lies, mixed messages, confusing headlines…all in the middle of a Nation whose back has been broken. Finding God in the midst of this moment is difficult. As the election draws closer, countless voices will try to sway you one way or the other. Yet your responsibility is simple. Pray earnestly, seek God passionately, listen carefully, and vote how He leads you. God’s is sovereign, He always has been. He is faithful and always will be. Nothing, absolutely nothing happens outside of His providence. This is where we find peace in this moment.

Life can bring us storms. Those moments where we wander, wonder and doubt. The journey doesn’t stop, but the progress does. Storms are inevitable, but when they appear, we have a Protector. A Savior who knows a thing or two about calming storms. When we are weak, He is strong. When we are afraid, He is our courage. When we are desperate, He is our peace. Storms are inevitable, but our God…is invincible!

It was the day the Church became the Church. Gathered together, worshipping together, in awe…together. It was the day the Church was unified, touched by the Holy Spirit. It was Pentecost.

America was built on the lives of heroes. Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Today we honor those who gave everything. Today, we honor our heroes.

Today is a celebration, a time of worship. Today we give glory to our Savior. The grave is empty, sin is defeated and death is conquered. Today, we stand in the power of the resurrection!

It had been three long days. The echos of the cross still filled the air. There was a darkness that was palpable, a sense of dread that was all consuming. Fear permeated the landscape, powered by an inconceivable loss. Hope was dead. But in the distance was a sound. The sound of earth moving, of foundations rattling. The sound of God taking back the world He loved. Darkness had been flooded with light, fear had been overtaken by hope. and death had been swallowed in victory. In that moment, sin lost its power, the grave lost its sting, and evil was left broken in defeat. He is victorious. He is triumphant. He is risen. Jesus…is alive.

What if we were known more for what we love, instead of what we hate, would that make a difference? What if we spent more time loving people, and less time being angry with them, would that make a difference? What if we gave unconditionally of our time, our talent, and our treasures, would that make a difference? What if we shared the difference Jesus has made in our lives, and stopped pushing away those who aren’t there yet, would that make a difference? What if we walked in the steps of our Savior, sitting with the broken, caring for the poor, loving the lost, would that make a difference? What if the Church acted like the Church, would that make a difference?

Freedom. It’s something we cherish in this country. The idea of a free society is embedded into the very core of our Nation. Many have died defending it, and many have fought diligently to preserve it. So where has it gone? We have become a nation bound by division, chained by hatred, and consumed by selfishness. Does this look like freedom? The Bible tells us we are called to be free. But it also says to use that freedom to serve one another humbly, in love. Maybe that’s what we’re missing in America. Today we celebrate Independence Day. Perhaps it’s time we recognize that true independence is found only in a lasting dependence on God. For where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom.

Sometimes we live life in the middle of a storm. Left out in the open and exposed to the elements. No matter where we look, protection seems miles away. Shelter feels out of reach. Lately, these storms have grown stronger, more difficult to bear. Where do we look when we can’t see the way forward? In the midst of the ebb and flow, God promises to be our refuge and our strength. In our most desperate moments, we can rest safely behind the Rock of our salvation. Yes, life has its troubles, but our God is a mighty fortress. Our stronghold and our refuge

Independence has never been easy. Nearly 250 years ago, it was something worth fighting for. The idea of a people who stood on equal footing, free to speak, free to wander, free to live. These were ideals worth risking everything for. Today we find ourselves fighting old battles. Not with past foes, but with ourselves. We are a nation divided. It seems the very freedoms we once fought for have become stumbling blocks. Are we too busy seeking ourselves to even recognize the tragedy which surrounds us? In this moment; the truth of Scripture rings especially true. If we the people will humbly pray, turn from wickedness, and seek His face, then He will hear us, He will forgive us, and He will heal this land. Today, may we remember this one simple truth…True independence is found only in our dependence on God.
