Cracked Mortar
October 21, 2026
Psalm 147:3 promises that God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds, but that healing starts with honesty. Like sellers sitting on a cracked hearth to hide the damage, we get skilled at covering our brokenness with a smile. God doesn't patch the surface; he rebuilds from the inside, and the invitation is to get off the hearth and bring the hidden wounds to him.

Show Me the Scars
October 21, 2026
John 20:24-29 teaches us through Thomas that Jesus does not reject us for having honest doubts but invites us to seek answers and discover the truth of who He is. Instead of hiding our questions or pretending to have perfect faith, we can bring our doubts to Jesus, examine the evidence, and grow in a deeper, more personal trust in Him.

1 Kings 17:7-9 teaches us that even when something good comes to an end, God’s care never stops, and He already knows what comes next. When life changes or we feel sad about what we have lost, we can trust that God is still with us, guiding us toward His next step.

The Death That Changes Everything

The Old You Is Gone
Romans 6:5–6 teaches that our old self was crucified with Christ, breaking sin’s power over us so we no longer have to live as its slaves but can walk in the freedom of our new identity. This isn't about self-improvement—it’s about living from the truth that we are already resurrected with Christ, free to become who He says we are.

Buried with Him
Romans 6:3–4 reveals that through baptism, we are united with Christ in His death and resurrection—our old self is buried, and we are raised to live a new life shaped by His power, not our past. This calls us to stop clinging to what God has already buried and instead walk daily in the freedom and identity of our resurrection life.

Should I Keep Struggling Like This?
Romans 6:1–2 reminds us that grace isn't a free pass to keep sinning but a powerful call to live in the freedom we've already been given—because in Christ, our old self has died, and sin no longer defines who we are. Instead of justifying compromise, we’re invited to live as new creations, walking in the victory and identity Christ has secured for us.
