Chase It Down
October 27, 2026
Psalm 37:5-6 invites us to commit our way to the Lord, rolling our plans onto His shoulders while we keep running after what He's called us to. Commitment isn't a feeling; it's a chase, and difficulty is a mile marker rather than a stop sign. God's reward rarely arrives in a flash but rises like the dawn, so the call is to re-engage the commitment we've been tempted to quit.

If You Had Been Here
October 27, 2026
John 11:32-37 reminds us that Jesus does not distance Himself from our pain but enters into our suffering with compassion, showing through His tears that He deeply cares about our grief. When life feels unfair and we struggle to understand why God allows suffering, we can bring Him our honest questions, trust His presence in our pain, and hold on to the hope that death and sorrow will not have the final word.
