Today we need to learn to turn from our prideful ways. Each step on the path of spiritual formation brings us closer to peace as the image of Christ is renewed in us. We have to get rid of pride, to become humble, to even desire a pursuit of Christ's image in us. Never forget that pride is not only exalting ourselves, as in shouting how great we are, but also when we refuse to do something God has asked us to do because we're scared of failure or what others might say. As we become humble, exalt God, and serve others, we are ushering in God's topsy turvy Kingdom. A place where love and justice reign supreme!

If our church is to flourish, we must remember what He is asking of us. It goes all the way back to the kind of church He wants us to be. The kind of church that will live and be alive! God can turn dry, empty spots into places full of life and hope, just like he strengthens us when we’re feeling down. God heals and guides us along a safe path, where no harm can touch us if we stick with Him. This journey is all about moving from sadness to joy, a kind of joy that sticks around because of what Jesus has done for us.

We all need to step up and walk this path of holiness. Let's be there for each other, trust in God's promises to refresh the barren parts of our lives, and make a positive impact on our community.

In this message on Isaiah 58, we explore what God truly desires from our worship. Moving beyond mere ritual, as we become holy as God is holy, we are to embody justice, mercy, and humility in our daily lives. This message challenges us to transform our acts of worship into actions that reflect God's heart for lovingkindness and justice, urging us to live out our faith as a tangible expression of divine love and service.

In this message we explore the profound concept of God's "Canopy of Glory." Discover how God offers not just physical shelter but a transformative sanctuary amid life's storms. Learn about the divine protection provided by His presence, symbolized by a cloud by day and a flaming fire by night, which guides and guards us on our spiritual journey. We will dive into the significance of finding refuge under God's canopy, where we are not only shielded from the enemy's flaming arrows, but are also transformed by His grace.

In Isaiah 6:8-13, God has tasked Isaiah with delivering a message to Judah. It's a message they will hear, but not understand. It's a message that hardens their hearts. This is their response to God, a persistent unfaithfulness and refusal to heed previous warnings. They have reached a point of no return due to their continued disobedience. Only a remnant will remain, but that remnant is their hope for a future with God. I believe the message for our church is a warning to not become like the nation of Judah.



We have the opportunity to change and repent. If we choose not to, then God has shown me that our church will die. Will we be open to God's transformative work? Or are we hardening our hearts? Will you join me in becoming the change God has called us to be?
