Readiness is what God reveals only after you have lived through the gap. Readiness rises from the wisdom you gain in the nights when answers do not come. Readiness appears when the fear settles and the truth finally speaks.
Preparation is the gift God placed in you before the trial.
Readiness is the gift God places in you after you endure it.

What if Jesus stood right in front of us — and we didn’t recognize Him? Every person bears God’s image. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s presence.

The arms that carried Jesus through death itself carry us still. And when the bridge looks too wide to cross, God holds us steady until we can carry each other.
Say this, beloved, like you believe it:
God can take it all.
God’s heart is on infinite swivel.
I cross no bridge alone.
The Spirit will not be boxed in.
🌬️ Jesus tells Nicodemus: “The wind blows where it chooses. You hear the sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.” (John 3:8)
This week we face the hard truth: life is not fine, but the Spirit is still moving.
Sometimes like a storm. Sometimes like a whisper. Always drawing us into new birth.

Jesus said, “I am your bread.”
Not for shock. For sustenance.
No matter the famine around you —
He is the feast within you.

At the edge of what you can endure, what you can hope, what you can see—God meets you there. Because for God, the edge is never the end. It’s the beginning of your next chapter. 💧 This week’s sermon: “Edge of Oil Things” — where anointing meets breaking, and breaking becomes testimony.

There’s no such thing as Skybox Jesus. The good news is grounded, humble, and calling us in—not out. Even from the trees we hide in.

We all have moments we wish we could take back. Peter had three.
Three denials.
Three chances to say it again: “Yes, Lord, I love you.”
And Jesus met every failure with purpose.
This week’s sermon was a reminder that as God forgives…God restores.
If you’re carrying shame, hear this:
God’s love is the bridge between your failure and your future.
And every step forward: feedi...
CALL BLOCKED.
But Jesus still got through.
Today we told the truth about interference in noise and shame and doubt. So many forces try to muffle our cry and God’s reply.
But Bartimaeus kept calling. And Jesus was already calling back.
If you missed it the first or the hundredth time, don’t worry. God’s still on the line.
📞 Take heart. Get up. God is calling you.

The woman stood where they left her. She was surrounded by silence, not stones.
And Jesus asked: “Where are your accusers?”
This Sunday, Pastor Kaji leads us deeper into Answer Me This with a question that undoes shame and makes room for mercy.

The wind is howling. The waves are rising. Does Jesus panic? No. Instead, he asks: “Why are you so afraid?”
This is a question of trust.
This week in our Answer Me This series, we’re sitting with the fear that lives just beneath the surface. And the faith that calls it by name.

Healing is holy. Are you ready to be healed?
Jesus looked at a man who’d been stuck for 38 years and asked: “Do you want to be made well?”
It’s a soul check.

What are you really searching for?
That’s the very first thing Jesus asks. “What are you looking for?”

Anxiety abounds, watching your moves, whispering worst-case scenarios, trying to convince you that you’re not enough.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
