Send us a textWhoever restrains his words has knowledge,    and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.28 Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;    when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.18 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire;    he breaks out against all sound judgment.2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.3 When wickedness comes, contempt comes also, and with dishonor comes disgrace.4 The words of a man's mouth are deep waters;    the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.

Send us a textSaving faith isn’t achieved—it’s received. In this message we trace Jesus’ contrast between a boastful Pharisee and a repentant tax collector (vv. 9–14), His call to receive the kingdom like a child (vv. 15–17), and His challenge to the rich young ruler to treasure God above possessions (vv. 18–30). What’s impossible for us is possible with God (vv. 24–27). The invitation is simple and profound: come humbly, ask for mercy, and follow Jesus as worthy of it all (vv. 28–30). Key PointsAvoid self-righteousness; trust the cross, not yourself.Receive the kingdom with childlike dependence.Prioritize Jesus over every possession and plan.Ask God to do the impossible—He saves.Next Step Respond in prayer today: “God, have mercy on me, a sinner. I trust Jesus.”

This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”

Send us a textWhat happens when the gospel takes root? In Acts 17, Paul’s message moves from city to city, confronts rival loyalties (“another King, Jesus”), and endures opposition, yet people believe and the Church grows. Romans 8 reminds us that nothing can separate us from Christ’s love, and Revelation 7 lifts our eyes to the global, multi-ethnic worship that is coming. Our mission is to join God in transforming the world, one disciple, one family, one community at a time. Lean in as we explore how the gospel moves, confronts, and endures in our lives today, and how we can be “mission minded” where we live.

Send us a textJesus reminds us that the Kingdom of God is already among us, yet not fully complete until His return. In this message, we’re challenged to:Look for the Kingdom in our midst — Every act of salvation, healing, repentance, and gospel proclamation is evidence that His Kingdom is here now.Long for the Kingdom to be complete — Stay ready, stay alert, and long for the day when Christ returns in glory.Live faithfully while you wait — Don’t look back, don’t lose heart, and keep praying persistently.When the Son of Man returns, will He find faith on the earth? Let’s be a people found faithful—watching, praying, and living with urgency for His coming.
