It's the Little Moments

Melissa Troyer writes insightfully about her husband, Daniel, and his way of seizing small moments to be there for his family despite being in a very stressful time in grad school.

He grasps those little moments so well. Pulls the kids close, chooses to go play frisbee or a game of Uno, just because.

Biblical Marriage

Lee Wilson goes back to the beginning of Scripture and as an experienced relationship coach, invites people to look at God's plan to make marriages thrive.

Not an archaic form of subjugation but a divine and brilliant system for harmony, mutual enrichment, and voluntary submission!

Tough Times Toughen

Right on Time

Demetrius Collins and Phil Ware combine to bless us with a powerful message on the timing of Jesus' coming and death as well as a virtual worship service focused on our right on time Savior.

If an event is epoch-changing, part of the dynamic that makes the event so transformational is the timing.

Don't Just Do Something

Phil Ware reminds us that the phrase 'don't just stand there do something' is absolutely wrong: we must pray first, then let the Lord lead us to know what to do!

He was oblivious to the truth that our attempts to live for Jesus will succeed only if we have the power of the Holy Spirit released to us through prayer.

Sometimes, God Takes His Time!

Max Lucado encourages us to endure and not lose hope because sometimes God takes time to make his perfect will happen and redeem our messes.

Life feels like it is in slow motion when are waiting for the bad seasons to end and God's new fresh life awakens to redeem and refresh our weary souls.

Rest and Power for the Weary

Phil Ware continues his reflections on what it means to be a JesuShaped disciple, this week focusing on our need for rest and time alone with God.

Our resources run low, our spirits grow tired, our bodies shut down, we can’t handle another thing, then Satan throws in a storm or two. What do we do?

Give Your Fears to the Father

Max Lucado reminds us that Jesus made all sorts of faces as he lived life much as we do, and because he has been where we are, even in the darkest of times, we can turn to him and find grace to help us in our times of need.

How remarkable that Jesus felt such fear. But how kind that he told us about it.

This Sanctuary

Melissa Troyer writes powerfully and poignantly about the journey she and her husband, Daniel, have traveled to live love and mission and family, together, finding God as their sanctuary.

I think if I had known all we would face, I couldn't have breathed. Except for one thing. God would be with us.

New Year with New Hope

Phil Ware explains the unified, simultaneous, hour of prayer on January 1 and December 31 as all the time zones gather together to pray.

Imagine if we all came together at the same time and prayed for God to intervene and help us overcome our world's problems!

Living My MUSD #5: Shared Prayer through Interceding Personally

Phil Ware opens the New Testament and reminds of a great way to live out our mission while under social distancing, prayer because prayer has always been a virtual way of blessing others.

Even when confined to our houses and limited in our travels and frustrated with social distancing, we still have the incredible ability to pray for others.

Teach Us to Pray Intro: Don't Just Do Something...

Phil Ware begins a series of messages built around the disciples' request to Jesus to teach them to pray with today focusing on our need to pray first.

Dear Husband, You're Worth It!

Jordan Harrell captures the reality of the good times and challenging times in a marriage and what God is up to in all of it if we will keep on loving each other.

What happened last weekend felt hopeless and dark. But this weekend says it wasn’t.

Give Me Jesus: Now

This is part of a 4 part series on Jesus' birth called, "Give Me Jesus," and this one focuses on finding him now.

God came to us in a way that all of us could find him, know him, and find our way home!

Give Me Jesus: Then!

Phil Ware continues his Christmas series, entitled "Give Me Jesus", focusing this week on the specific time, the then, of Jesus' coming.

We sometimes forget that Jesus' birth, so wrapped in sentimentality at Christmas, was a real event when the Immortal God chose to wrap himself in the fragile face of a newborn child.
