After the Showdown
August 24, 2026
1 Kings 19:1-3a catches Elijah in freefall—one threat from Jezebel sends the prophet who just called down fire on Mount Carmel running for his life. After every showdown comes a letdown, and the moment we step off the battlefield is when we're most exposed. The invitation is to name that vulnerable window after our biggest wins and guard it, refusing to make decisions from the bottom of the emotional tank.

We Cannot Help Speaking
August 24, 2026
Acts 4:18-20 gives Peter and John a command—keep believing, just stop saying it out loud—which is almost exactly the deal culture offers you. But Peter says they cannot help speaking about what they've seen and heard. You can lose an argument about the Bible; nobody can beat you in an argument about your own life. The modern cost isn't arrest—it's a seat at a table that used to have you in it. And revival isn't singing louder on Wednesday; it's living differently on Thursday, in the hallway, where someone notices you're not the same.
KIDS
Sun and Rain for Everyone
August 24, 2026
Matthew 5:45 asks a question: when the sun comes up, does it only shine on nice people and skip the grumpy ones? Of course not—the nice kid and the mean kid wake up to the same sunshine. Jesus used that to show something about God: His kindness isn't just for a few special people, it's for everyone. And He wants us to be like that too. Anybody can be nice to their best friend, but when you're kind to someone who was mean, people notice—that's God's kind of love shining through you.

No More Stones
Just like a boy's backpack filled with hidden stones, we accumulate burdens in life that weigh us down. Jesus invites us to come to Him for rest, allowing us to exchange our burdens for His peace and comfort.
