Good morning, Friends, 

Colossians 3:14- Colossians 3:14 LSB
[14] Above all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

The Apostle Paul finished encouraging the saints to put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and forgiveness. Then he wraps it up with the statement, "above all these things put on love".

Nothing bonds Belelievers together so strong and resilient as love does. Love has this characteristic of powerfully pulling things together in the same direction, which causes those objects to masterfully multiply the source, blossoming into its greatest potential. The greatest potential of "me" is "we". 
This is the heart song of born again believers!

Check ✔️ it out, we (born-again Believers)will never fit in with this world. We will never cultivate a relationship with this world that mirrors or is likened to the relationship that we have with Christ and each other. Sadly, we can miss the importance of a strong relationship with each other, choosing rather instead, to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. However, because we ARE the body of Christ, the assembly, the congregation, we should be operating in the love that Christ has commanded we walk in toward each other. This is how we are identified. If the world sees chaos between us, fighting, destruction, war, offense,  then that provides a testimony against us that we are not biblically representing God. 

Let's put on love, compassion, forgiveness, kindness, humility, and gentleness. 

We got work to do!!! Clock ⌚ IN, let's get it!!!

Maranatha (The Lord is coming)  
Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone)

- Grace & Peace
Pastor Trent

Devotional Reading - December 16, 2025

12/16/25 Good morning, Friends,  Acts 4:12 - [12] And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. BOLDNESS! In the chapter before this, Peter heals a man who had been disabled his whole life. The crowd is amazed. Everyone’s staring at Peter and John like they’re the heroes. But Peter shuts all that down immediately. He tells them straight up: “This wasn’t us. This was God working through Jesus Christ.” Peter refuses the spotlight and points all the credit where it belongs. That’s the same bold truth behind this verse, Jesus Christ alone saves. No exceptions. No substitutes. No backup plans. Peter is standing in front of religious leaders who believed they were right with God because of rules, traditions, and family history. And Peter doesn’t sugarcoat it. He tells them clearly: none of that saves you. Not religion. Not good behavior. Not being sincere. Not choosing another spiritual lane. Only J...

Daily Devotional - October 29, 2025

  10/29/25 Good morning, Friends,  Luke 22:33–34 (LSB) — “But he said to Him, ‘Lord, with You I am ready to go both to prison and to death!’ But He said, ‘I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.’” Peter really meant well. His heart was full of passion and loyalty when he told Jesus he’d follow Him anywhere,  even to prison or death. But when the pressure hit, fear took over, and Peter did exactly what he swore he wouldn’t: he denied Jesus three times . This moment reminds us that good intentions aren’t the same as strong faith. Sometimes we’re like Peter, real quick to say, “Lord, I’ll never turn my back on You,” but then life gets real. The heat rises, the crowd’s watching, and suddenly we shrink back. Jesus wasn’t trying to embarrass Peter; He was exposing Peter’s weakness so He could strengthen 💪 him later. God still does that with us today. He lets us see how fragile our confidence is when it’s built on...

Devotional Reading - January 1, 2026

  01/01/26 Happy new year and O' happy day! Good morning, Friends,  Luke 17:5 - And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith! In this passage Jesus was teaching His disciples about forgiveness, not the easy kind, but the kind that keeps forgiving even when it’s hard, frustrating, and painful. He was calling them to be patient and long-suffering with people who mess up again and again. The disciples realized real quick that they didn't have enough faith to carry this out on their own. They could've complained, threw a tantrum, got an attitude with Jesus, but the radical part about it is they didn't act fake or make excuses. They went straight to Jesus and said, “Increase our faith.” That’s a powerful moment right there! The disciples understood that following Jesus isn’t just about trying harder. Sometimes it’s about admitting, “Lord, I don’t have what this requires.” They saw a spiritual gap in themselves and knew only Jesus could fill it. Check it out, incr...
