Where Can I Find Peace?

by Johnson Bowie

Peace can feel hard to hold onto but this message explores a different kind of peace—one the Bible describes as steady, lasting, and strong enough to anchor us in the midst of life’s pressures. If you’ve sensed your joy slipping, your mind racing, or your heart feeling unsettled, lean in. This teaching invites you to rediscover the peace Jesus offers and learn how to walk in it every day.

Good News

Our God Reigns Over My Future

by Curvine Brewington

Throughout the bible, different names describe the character of God. In the book of Jeremiah, he is called the hope of Israel. He doesn’t just want to be the hope of Israel. He wants to be your hope too. Each of us naturally puts our hope in things, and it’s second nature to look to what we can see as a stable place to put our trust in, but God invites us into something far greater: an eternal hope that begins now, not someday. Whether you’re in a season of uncertainty or simply longing for reassurance, tune into this message for fresh perspective and encouragement from the One who reigns over every part of your future.
