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.
