The world says that confidence is "trusting your own judgment and abilities and to value yourself worthy. God says in His Word that we should never have confidence in the flesh. Pastor Shane will share in this message on how our confidence comes from our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

DECISIONS! Every one of us makes decisions every day of our lives. We make decisions to go to work, to go to church, to get married, to have children, to go to college. We all make the decision to follow Jesus or not. We make the decision to get baptized or not. We decide that we are okay as we are. We decide to get involved or not.…

CULTIVATING CONTENTMENT! In the final commandment of the Ten, God implores us not to covet. Coveting goes beyond mere desire; it's an intense longing for something that belongs to another. As we reflect on Exodus 20:17, we find a profound lesson in contentment and gratitude.

AT WIT’S END! In the journey of life, we often find ourselves in situations where we feel like we are reeling and staggering, much like the sailors in Psalm 107:27. These moments can be overwhelming, leaving us at our wits' end, desperate for a lifeline. Yet, in the midst of our struggles, we are not alone.…

COMMITTING YOUR PLANS TO GOD! In this verse, we find a powerful and timeless principle for living a purposeful and fulfilled life. The key is the word "commit." It implies more than just a casual acknowledgment of God; it speaks of a deep, intentional surrender of our plans and endeavors to Him.

Spend a few moments in silence, reflecting on your role as an image-bearer of God. Journal your thoughts on how you can better reflect His character in your daily life. Identify one specific action you can take this week to engage in stewardship, be fruitful, or celebrate God’s creation, and commit to following through. Invite God’s guidance as you…

Testing Hearts, Transforming Lives! God’s purpose often includes refining and transforming our hearts through trials. True reconciliation and healing are possible when repentance, forgiveness, and God’s grace are at work.

From Prison to Purpose! God’s plans are always greater than our understanding. What may seem like delays or detours in our lives can be part of His preparation for something far greater than we can imagine.

Daily Nugget Podcast "Peace in the Midst of Trouble!" John 16:33

“Faithful in Trials, Favored by God” God is faithful to His promises and can use even the most challenging circumstances for good. Like Joseph, we are called to remain faithful, knowing that God’s plans are far greater than what we can comprehend.

GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD! God can redeem even the darkest moments in our lives. No matter how dire the circumstances, He is in control and can turn what was meant for harm into a tool for blessing and growth.

PASTOR SHANE'S WEEKLY SERMON PODCAST Sunday, January 5, 2025 The past should not be used as a barrier to the future, as an excuse for dropping out, or for avoiding proper spiritual conduct in our relationship with God.

A YEAR OF BLESSING & FAITHFULNESS! Let this year be one where we intentionally recognize and share God’s blessings, using them as a testimony of His goodness to those around us.

Renewed Minds for a New Year! This new year, let us resolve to “put off the old” and step into the “new” by letting God renew our minds. Through His grace, we can leave behind what hinders us and walk confidently in the newness He provides.

A New Thing for A New Year! As you reflect on the year ahead, ask God to reveal the new thing He is doing in your life. Embrace it with trust, knowing that He is faithful to make a way even when the path seems unclear.

RENEWED STRENGTH FOR A NEW YEAR! Whether this year holds moments of soaring, running, or simply walking one step at a time, we can trust that God is with us, renewing our strength each day.

A Heart of Obedience For A New Year! As you step into the new year, commit to a heart of obedience. Obeying the Lord may not always be easy, but it is the path to true peace and purpose. Trust Him in every situation, pray without ceasing, and cultivate a spirit of gratitude. Let His peace guide you, and you will find strength and joy in His presenc…

Redeeming the Time! Let today be a reminder to evaluate how you use your time and to seek God’s guidance in every moment. The opportunities before you are not random—they are God-ordained moments to glorify Him and share His love. Redeem the time and live wisely, for each day is a gift.

“O Holy Night: A Message of Joy” “O Holy Night” reminds us that Christ’s birth is not just a historical event but a personal invitation to encounter God’s grace and share His love. Let this message fill your heart with hope and joy, just as it did for the shepherds on that sacred night.
