Scriptures:Mark 8:27–35; Mark 9:31; Matthew 16:13–24; Romans 12:10; Proverbs 19:21; Romans 8:14–17 The mission must go on. Those words don’t arrive softly. They carry weight.

A Second Touch

The Standard of Sonship (Open House)
Scriptures:Matthew 5:1–16; Romans 12:2; John 15:15; Numbers 13–14 There is a standard in the Kingdom of God—and it has never changed.

Come Alive, Child
Scriptures:Mark 5:21–43; Matthew 19:13–14; John 1:11–12; 2 Timothy 1:7; Ephesians 5:14 Come Alive, Child “Talitha koum.” Little girl, get up.

The room is filled with noise—wailing, opinions, conclusions. Outside, the narrative is…

The enemy cannot destroy the purposes…

Scriptures:John 4:1–34; Proverbs 11:25; Luke 19:10; John 20:21 SENT (Not Spent): Finding the Overflow We Didn’t Know We Needed We live in a world fluent in the language of exhaustion. “I’m tired.” “I’m stretched.” “I’ve got nothing left to give.” We call it being spent, and for many, it has become the normal rhythm of life.…
