Finding Purpose in a World of Chaos: A Call to Bold Faith
In a world that often feels marked by tragedy and confusion, it's easy to lose sight of our purpose. Recent events have shaken many of us to our core, reminding us of the fragility of life and the persistence of evil in our world. From local incidents of violence to high-profile losses that reverberate across nations, we're confronted with the stark reality that tomorrow is not promised.
But in these moments of darkness, we're called to remember a profound truth: each life is precious, created in the image of God. This realization should stir within us a sense of urgency and intention. How are we living out our days? Do we truly know what we're here to do?
The Heartbeat of Jerusalem: Where Heaven Touches Earth
There's something magnetic about Jerusalem. A city that captures global attention far beyond its size or economic significance. Why does this ancient place stir such passion and controversy? Perhaps because Jerusalem is more than just a city - it's where the eternal touches the temporal, where heaven meets earth.
The Psalmist captures this allure beautifully: "How lovely are your dwelling places, O Lord of hosts! My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord." (Psalm 84:1-2) There's a divine drawing, a spiritual gravity that pulls hearts toward this sacred space.
Fight On: Finding Strength in Life's Battles

This message isn't just for fathers on Father's Day, but for every single person facing a struggle. It's a call to persevere, to find strength in God when we feel we have none left.
