Journey with Hope

Do you notice the small sins in your life before they take root? Learn how sin grows quietly in the heart and how repentance, faith, and God’s Spirit can bring lasting change.

We all drift in our faith sometimes, just like King David did. But from facing Goliath to repenting after his great fall, David's faith journey and ours shows God's amazing grace. Discover how failure, forgiveness, and Psalms like 51 and 23 lead to deeper trust and eternal hope.

True faith is more than belief—it transforms the heart, produces obedience, and flows through love. Faith connects us to God, guides our actions, and allows the Holy Spirit to work in us. Do your actions reflect the faith you claim?

Do you ever feel like you are beyond hope or that your past is so terrible that God cannot use you for His kingdom? Many of us are haunted by past sins, even though we know in our mind that we have repented and been forgiven, we still remember former days when we did things we are so ashamed of we would never tell anyone. Sometimes it is difficult to believe in our hearts that we are truly forgiven. The Wicked Reign of King Manasseh There is a figure in the Bible that did s

How many times do we think we can manage life on our own, without God? We may not be actively thinking, "I don't need You, God," but by...

Rules, rules and more rules. Christianity is often seen as just a series of boxes to check. Things to do and things not to do. In response to this, many churches have emerged that condemn rules. These churches preach only about love, forgiveness, not judging others and all the benefits that being a Christian can bring. They promote a 'Santa Claus' view of God, where He's only there to provide the things we want. Legalism or compromise - both views miss the mark. The Hard

In Matthew 21:28-32, we have the Parable of the Two Sons. In this chapter, Jesus is teaching many things to the Pharisees. The...

Esau traded a God-given birthright for a momentary craving—and lost an eternal inheritance. Scripture warns us not to treat holy things as common. As believers, we are coheirs with Christ, given a living hope bought by His sacrifice. Don’t live for the moment. Treasure the inheritance that never fades and guard it with faith and repentance.

Charles Spurgeon wrote that at the age of 15, "... that trumpet of conviction, which aroused my soul to think of eternal things, sounded...

Can Christians still sin? 1 John teaches that while believers stumble, true Christians don’t live in ongoing, unrepentant sin. God’s Spirit makes us new creations, helping us fight sin and grow in righteousness. Our faith is shown in love and obedience, reflecting Christ in our daily lives. Habitual sin reveals a need for self-examination, not doubt in grace.

Why do we regret our sins? Why do we look back with sorrow over the mistakes that we have made? Is it because we have offended God or...

In Isaiah 63:16, Isaiah refers to God as our Father, our Redeemer from Everlasting. In the Old Testament, the meaning of redemption,...

How many of us have read the book of Lamentations? I have heard very few sermons on it. It is a very short book with only five chapters....

The parable of the wedding feast reminds us that God invites many, but entrance requires the right garment. Christ offers His righteousness freely, yet it must be received and worn. We can come as we are, but we cannot remain unchanged. Salvation brings transformation, not just attendance at the feast.

"For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death." 2...

Even Bible heroes failed—Noah got drunk, Abraham lied, Moses struck the rock, David took Bathsheba. We ALL stumble. But God uses repentant hearts. Stay humble, stay dependent on Jesus. Your failure isn’t final.
