August 3, 2026 by Darrin Wright

When the house is quiet and the lights are off, our minds often replay every fear, disappointment, conversation, unanswered question, and failure. In Psalm 119:55, the psalmist teaches us a better way: “I remember your name in the night, O LORD.” This post reflects on how God’s Word helps us stop listening to ourselves and start preaching truth to ourselves in the night....

The Wide Place of Obedience: Why God’s Word does not confine us, but sets us free

July 29, 2026 by Darrin Wright

Psalm 119:45 says, “I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts.” That may sound surprising in a world that often sees God’s commands as restrictive. But the psalmist teaches us that obedience is not bondage. God’s Word gives direction, anchors the soul, and leads His people into true freedom. This post reflects on the wide place of obedience and why God’s truth sets us free, even when life feels pressured and confined....

Come, Lord Jesus

July 21, 2026 by Jeremiah Nichols

When we talk about the end of the world, some people get excited about charts and timelines while others feel afraid and would rather avoid the subject altogether. But Scripture does not point us to fear or speculation. It points us to encouragement, endurance, and prayer. In Luke 18:1–8, Jesus tells His disciples a parable so they would always pray and not lose heart. This post reflects on how the return of Christ changes how we live today, why a broken world teaches us to long for His coming, and why believers should keep praying, “Come, Lord Jesus.”...

Jesus Sees You in the Crowd

July 20, 2026 by Jeremiah Nichols

In Luke 7:11–17, Jesus meets a funeral procession outside the town of Nain. Everyone sees the funeral, but Jesus sees the grieving widow. She has already lost her husband, and now she has lost her only son. Yet on the hardest day of her life, Jesus sees her, has compassion on her, speaks comfort to her, and interrupts her sorrow with life. This post reminds us that Jesus does not look away from the hurting. He sees, He cares, He comes near, and He is able to get in the way of our sorrow too....

The Christian Who Finishes Well Stays Curious {…because we never graduate from God's classroom."

July 14, 2026 by Darrin Wright

In Psalm 119:33–40, the psalmist prays with the posture of someone who knows he has not arrived. He asks God to teach him, give him understanding, lead him, incline his heart, turn his eyes, confirm His promise, turn away reproach, and give him life. This kind of prayer reveals one of the marks of a Christian who finishes well: a teachable spirit. Curiosity is not spiritual immaturity when it leads us back to God’s Word. It is part of humble dependence on the Lord....

June 30, 2026 by Gretchen Wright

At our Father’s Day festivities, we set up a cold brew coffee station and quickly discovered that many in our church family were not entirely sure what cold brew was, how to drink it, or whether it should be trusted. Since we have some left over and plan to serve it again during our Fourth of July festivities, here is a very friendly, very unofficial cold brew primer. Learn what cold brew is, how it is different from iced coffee, where it likely began, and a few simple ways to enjoy it....
