Don’t Give Up, Keep Hope Alive

Don’t Give Up, Keep Hope Alive There was a time in the prophet Elijah’s life when he gave up—when he lost all hope. God had just used him in a magnificent way. On Mount Carmel, Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal, prayed, and watched fire fall from heaven. The people fell on their faces. The false prophets were defeated. It was a breathtaking display of God’s power. Then Elijah got a message. Queen Jezebel, furious that her prophets were destroyed, swore she would have Elijah killed within 24 hours. These prophets had been her instruments; they did whatever she wanted.…

What Say Ye Now to These Things?

Sonja is a single mother. She is tired. She is frustrated. She is raising her children alone. Nosupport. No help. No relief in sight. It has been years of the weight of having financialresponsibility on her. Years of doctor’s appointments, taking the children to sports practices, andcoordinating fundraisers without the help of a spouse or an involved father of her children. There was always one constant. Jesus. Although Sonja feels what she feels and theresponsibilities she has are very real, it is Jesus who sustains her. It is Jesus who continues toprovide for her and her children. It is Jesus’s…

In honor of Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., we share this powerful 5-minute excerpt from his 1988 Democratic National Convention speech.
Across the country, thousands have gathered to celebrate his life and pay their respects. His sacrifices, struggles, and victories—and the lessons they hold for people of color and for all humanity—will endure. May we carry his mantra forward and live it every day:
“Keep hope alive. Don’t ever give up.”

Sometimes we show up to celebrate Jesus’ birth carrying way too much—stress, expectations, distractions, even our own agendas. This short reminder invites you to set all that “luggage” down at the door and enter the wonder of Christmas with a lighter heart, open hands, and a clear focus on the One we’re truly celebrating.

“What Does Your Community Look Like”

Text: Chaplain Barbara Bailey gives us insight on how we determine our "community," and how we shape it and live in it as a follower of Jesus Christ. Enjoy the wisdom.

Rorisang Thandekiso of South Africa says, “We’re living in times where many have a form of godliness but deny its power—just as 2 Timothy 3:5 warns us. In this video, we break down what it means to appear religious on the outside but lack true spiritual power and transformation. Are we just going through the motions of faith, or are we truly walking in the power of God? This is a wake-up call to examine our hearts, deepen our relationship with Christ, and live in the fullness of His power. Don't settle for empty religion—God is calling us to something deeper!”

Beautiful and broken may not seem like two words that should be used together. With God, that combination of words is beautiful.

Imagine living a life where the ups and downs don't dictate your happiness. How can we achieve this? By discovering the essence of finding joy and purpose in every step of our journey, rather than just focusing on the destination. God used Paul to demonstrate this path for us, offering timeless wisdom that can transform our life and joy.

In this 5-minute video, Chaplain Barbara Bailey encourages us to be faithful to God by staying in the Word and praying. And just as importantly, by serving and helping others. That reveals Jesus to others and also helps our own faith to grow.
