God calls all sinners – believers and unbelievers alike – to repentance, inviting us to bring our guilt, burdens, anger, and unbelief to the cross of Christ. There, He strips away our pride and self-reliance and gives what the world cannot: true peace for weary souls.

God’s mercy is not earned - it is received by faith.
Trusting in the salvation won for us by Jesus on the Cross, we can rest in God’s promises and receive His gifts: forgiveness, life, and salvation.
Freed by grace, we can now live as His light in a broken world.
Blessed are the peacemakers!

We assume tomorrow will look like today—comfortable, predictable, secure. In that ease, God can fade into the background. That's when He breaks in, unsettling what we trust to remind us who we belong to.

What our broken world needs and what the Lord desires, are repentant hearts humble enough to acknowledge their brokenness. Jesus calls us to live differently in this world, not by our own strength, but by our trust in Him.

We live in a time of confusion and misplaced trust. We look for answers in leadership, movements, and opinions shaped by our own interests. Yet God’s people are not restored by political instincts or self-righteous certainty, but by returning to His Word, His wisdom, and His mercy.

As we approach a new year, I’m reminded of a spiritual mentor who taught that 3 virtues should shape a believer’s life: humility, purity of intention, and love.
In a noisy and often crude world, beginning the year with a quiet, attentive heart to God’s Word feels like a faithful place to start.
