Good morning, Friends,

Proverbs 14:1 NLT
[1] A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.

This verse is saying: You can either build up what you’ve got, or you can destroy it with your own actions.

In this world 🌎 we live in we see this all the time. Some women (and men too) are steady doing the work of speaking life into their kids, keeping peace in their relationships, protecting their space from drama. They’re building brick by brick.

Others? They don’t even need an enemy to destroy them because they do it all by themselves. Profane mouth, speaking harsh words, disrespect, grudges, chasing foolish things, letting pride run the show. That’s like knocking holes in your own walls.

A wise person knows their influence. A wise person aint perfect, but they're intentional. They question themselves like, “Will this choice help my home, or hurt it"

Before you react, stop and ask 🤔:
Will this bring peace or chaos?
Am I protecting my people, or pushing them away?
Is this about love, or is this about my pride?


Look at the big picture 🖼️ sometimes building means biting your tongue. Sometimes it means speaking up with love. Sometimes it means letting go of old baggage so your hands are free to build something better!

You don't need a lot to get started. Start with:
One kind word
One act of forgiveness
One prayer over your home before you walk out the door

Friends, let's get it!! Today we will build ⚒️ and not break ⛓️‍💥. Let's see the value in the people God has  put in our lives. Protect your peace, speak life, and live in a way that honors God. 

You know what time ⌚ it is!!!

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

- Grace & Peace
Pastor Trent

8/21/25 Good morning, Friends,  1 Thessalonians 4:11 -11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet 🤫 life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you, Everybody these days wants to shine. Social media has people chasing likes, clout, and attention, trying to be seen instead of just being faithful. But the Word of God cuts through all that noise: “Lead a quiet life. Mind your business. Work with your hands.” That’s not flashy. That won’t go viral. But that’s the grind God respects. See, real strength isn’t in being loud, it’s in being steady. Paul’s saying, stop being thirsty for the spotlight, stop running your mouth in other people’s affairs, and stop leaning on folks when you could be putting in your own work. Truth is, mooching off others while you got the ability to grind is lazy, and laziness is sin. God gave you gifts, skills, and breath in your lungs so use them. Don’t be that person always asking but never giving, always watching b...

Daily Devotional - September 10, 2025

9/10/25 Good morning, Friends, Psalm 69:1 LSB [1] Save me, O God, For the waters have threatened my life. Have you ever felt like life was drowning you? Like problems kept piling up 📈, bills, stress, health, relationships, and no matter how hard you tried, you just couldn’t keep your head above water? That’s exactly how David felt when he wrote ✍🏾 this verse. He wasn’t talking about actual water 🌊, he was describing the feeling of being overwhelmed and sinking fast. Instead of trying to fight 🥊 through it on his own, David cried out to God: “Save me, O God.” That’s the turning point. When we reach the end of ourselves, God is still strong enough to lift us up. Let's keep it 💯 with God. You don’t have to fake it with Him. If you’re struggling, tell Him straight up. He can handle your honest prayers. Depend on Him!! You don’t have to do life alone or in your own strength. God is able to rescue, comfort, and steady you when you feel like you’re going under. If you fee...

  8/18/25 Good morning, Friends,  Matthew 3:1-2 -[1]Now in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, [2]“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” John the Baptist didn’t show up in a three-piece suit with politically correct words. He came rough, raw, and real, and his message was simple: Repent. Not, “say you’re sorry.” Not, “promise to do better.” Repent. Here’s the difference: asking forgiveness is like telling God, “My bad, I messed up.” Repentance goes deeper—it’s a turning of the heart, mind, and direction. It’s when the Spirit of God flips the script in your soul, and you walk a whole new way. Forgiveness is like the judge stamping your record “cleared.” Repentance is like walking out of court and actually living different! It's proof that God’s the one changing you on the inside. Think of it like this: If I keep apologizing for stealing, but I’m still sliding wallets out of pockets tomorrow, nothing’s really changed. Repentan...
