Daniel said, “I saw one like a son of man, coming with the clouds. He was given dominion and glory, and His kingdom will never end.” And the kingdom shall be given to the saints of the Most High, and His kingdom shall be everlasting. Daniel's v...

Daniel prayed three times a day, giving thanks to God. The king said, “May your God rescue you!” A stone was placed over the lions’ den. At dawn, the king ran and called out, “Daniel, has your God saved you?” Daniel answered, “My God sent His a...

Daniel 5:22–28, 30, Luke 12:13–21Daniel said to Belshazzar, “You knew what happened to your father, yet you did not humble your heart. Instead, you praised idols and did not honor God. The hand wrote: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN.’ ...

As the king walked on the palace roof, he said, “Is not this great Babylon I have built?” A voice from heaven said, “Your kingdom is taken from you.” Later, Nebuchadnezzar said, “I praised the Most High. His kingdom is eternal. He does as He pl...

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego said, “Our God is able to save us—but even if He does not, we will not worship the image.” Then King Nebuchadnezzar saw four men walking unharmed in the fire, and one looked like a son of the gods. He said, “Prai...

Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the king’s food. He asked the chief official for permission not to eat it. After ten days, he and his friends looked healthier than the others. God gave them learning and wisdom—and Daniel could unders...

The Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard once said, “Life can only be understood backward.” The clearest way to observe spiritual growth is by reflecting on where we were. Join us as we reflect on the brief appearance of Simeon in the Christmas...

The story of John the Baptist leaping in his mother Elizabeth’s womb at the presence of the in-utero Christ is a profound reminder of how we are called to respond to Jesus. John’s leap wasn’t merely a random movement; it was a joyful recognitio...

The usual cast of characters in a Christmas pageant includes Mary, Joseph, a few wise men, a cow or two, and an angel for good measure. But what about the innkeeper? Was there really an innkeeper present? Join us this week as we take a closer l...

In our Protestant tradition, we often grow uneasy when Mary receives significant attention. But could it be that, in our reaction to Roman Catholic veneration, we have “thrown the baby out with the bathwater”? Mary’s story draws us deeply into ...

You are welcome to join in our Thanksgiving Eve tradition, where offerings of food will be received at the altar during worship as a visible expression of gratitude and generosity. 

Our stories are part of God’s bigger story—a story of rescue, renewal, and hope. Jesus commissions His followers to go, teach, and baptize, making disciples of all nations. Peter reminds us to always be ready to share the reason for the hope wi...

After being healed by Jesus, the man set free from demons was sent to share his story—and he did, to great effect. Your story, too, matters. It doesn’t have to be dramatic—it just has to be real. The psalmist says, “Come and hear, all you who f...

The Good Samaritan didn’t ignore suffering—he got involved. True love is active, interruptible, and sacrificial. In Micah, God calls us not to grand gestures but to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly. As we follow Jesus, we learn to slow d...

In God’s kingdom, greatness is defined by serving. Jesus didn’t come to be served, but to serve—and He calls us to do the same. Paul reminds us that freedom in Christ expresses itself in love through service. Serving others doesn’t require a ti...

Jesus revealed Himself to the two disciples not in the classroom or temple, but around the table. In Acts, we see the early church living out this rhythm—breaking bread together with joy and generosity. This week, we reflect on how God still wo...

Jesus didn’t just tolerate people—He welcomed them, especially those society ignored. When He called Matthew and dined with sinners, He did so after first noticing, listening, and drawing near. Listening creates space for relationships. James t...

The table was one of Jesus’ most consistent ministry tools. Meals were sacred spaces where outsiders became insiders, and strangers became friends. Eating together remains one of the simplest, yet most powerful ways to build trust and show hosp...

Before healing, Jesus listened. He stopped, asked questions, and responded with compassion. Listening is more than being quiet—it’s an act of love that makes others feel seen and valued. In a noisy, opinion-filled world, true listening stands o...

When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He gave them a vision not just for God’s kingdom “up there” but for transformation “down here.” Prayer is how we align with God’s purposes in our neighborhoods and world. Paul reminds Timothy that we are...

Before choosing His disciples or launching His public ministry, Jesus began with prayer. If we want to join Him in His mission, we must first tune our hearts to His. This week, we explore how prayer shapes our awareness of others, opens our eye...

Jesus didn’t just preach good news—He embodied it in ordinary encounters, like with Zacchaeus. In this opening week, we see how Jesus “blessed” people through simple acts of presence and attention. The B.L.E.S.S. model helps us recover this eve...
