In a World of Betrayal, BE FAITHFUL (Pt. 1)

Betrayal is a painful and common experience, even among Christians. Jesus warned that betrayal would become more frequent in the last days, and it's already happening in our world. We can see examples of betrayal in the Bible, from the story of Judas Iscariot to the betrayal of God the Father by Satan. Jesus also warned that the time of the end would be a time of offense, betrayal, and hatred, where Christians would turn against each other. To avoid this, we need to choose our friends carefully and surround ourselves with people who are loyal to God and to us. [... more]

BITTERNESS | Matthew 18: 21-35 | Pastor Josh Evans

Bitterness is a real emotion that people face, even followers of Christ. It's an internal feeling that eats away at us and can lead to physical, emotional, and social damage. The solution to bitterness is forgiveness, which is based on the forgiveness we've experienced from God. Jesus teaches that we should forgive others without limit, just as God has forgiven us. Forgiveness is not just about letting go of the past, but about giving others what they don't deserve so that we can give those in the present what they do deserve. [... more]

Caregiving, Alignment and Endurance

Caregivers often struggle with the emotional weight of their responsibilities, but it's essential to prioritize their own well-being and seek support. A key concept in caregiving is alignment, not just physical but also emotional and spiritual. It's about recognizing the limitations and needs of both the caregiver and the care recipient, and making intentional decisions to ensure a sustainable and healthy caregiving journey. This requires patience, competence, and a willingness to adapt and learn, just like the process of prosthetic limb alignment. By embracing this mindset, caregivers can find hope and resilience in the midst of challenging circumstances, and ultimately, achieve a more balanced and fulfilling life. [... more]
