February 16, 2026 “And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments…” — 2 John 1:6 Love isn’t just a feeling. It isn’t talk. It isn’t intention. Love is obedience in motion. John makes it simple: if you want to know what love looks like — look at your walk. Do your choices honor God? Do your actions match your words? Do you live with integrity when no one sees? Our culture defines love by emotion. God defines love by steady faithfulness — patience, kindness, and o

February 6, 2026 “ Let us lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set before us.” — Hebrews 12:1 We are in a race — not a sprint, but a lifetime of faith and obedience. Some things slow us down: Bad habits Distractions Overcommitment Bitterness Regret They aren’t always sinful, but they are heavy. You can’t run far carrying what God never asked you to hold. Then there is sin — the thing that trips you and keeps you stuck. God i

January 30, 2026 “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:13–14 Thinking of you all this morning. I’m learning a lot in my seminary classes — I don’t think I’ve ever read this much in my life. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians lays out biblical manhood in just two sentences. This is a charge. Be Watchful A godly person doesn’t coast through life half-awake. Guard your thoughts, habits, and what you

January 26, 2026 “Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.” — 2 Timothy 4:2 This verse is a call to live ready — not only when it’s easy, but when it matters. We’re invited to stay steady in every season: when it’s convenient and when it’s not, when we feel strong and when we feel stretched, when culture agrees and when it pushes back. God didn’t call us to be silent observers of the worl

January 23, 2026 “But all things should be done decently and in order.” — 1 Corinthians 14:40 God is not the author of chaos. In this verse Paul reminds the Corinthians that spiritual maturity isn’t just about passion or knowledge — it’s about order. When we walk with God, it shows up in how he orders his life: his words, his time, his leadership, and his home. Order doesn’t mean control or perfection. It means being intentional. Chaos drains energy and clarity, but God’s ord

January 16, 2026 “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 11:1 Whether we intend it or not, someone is always learning how to live by watching us. Over time our habits quietly teach — at home, at work, and in everyday conversations. This verse invites us to consider who is watching us — our loved ones, families, coworkers, friends, and even strangers. Leadership isn’t just about what we say; it’s about what people see in our lives. Are our choi

January 13, 2026 “Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned…” — Titus 2:7–8 People are always learning from someone — especially in the places we spend the most time. Over time, others begin to read our lives long before they listen to our words. In the kitchen, you can’t fake great food. If the ingredients are off or the technique is wrong, it shows. In the same way, our
