The Daily Invitation
by Thomas Cheevers on April 28th, 2025
"Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life." - Romans 6:4Often we think of resurrection as a one-time event that happened long ago. But what if I told you that resurrection power is available to you today, and every day? Just like the sunrise brings new merci...  Read More

From Doubt to Declaration
by Thomas Cheevers on April 26th, 2025
“Then He said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.’” — John 20:27Sometimes we think doubt disqualifies us from faith, but God doesn’t run from our questions—He leans in. Thomas wasn’t present the first time Jesus appeared to the disciples, and his doubt was raw and honest. But Jesus didn’t shame him. He came back ju...  Read More

Stepping into Belief
by Thomas Cheevers on April 25th, 2025
"Why do you look for the living among the dead?" - Luke 24:5Faith isn't meant to be static - it's meant to move us forward.

We believe we must heal ourselves, fix our problems, or at least have a plan before we can seek His presence. But Easter reveals a different truth. Jesus specializes in meeting us right in the midd...  Read More

Grace Before Performance
by Thomas Cheevers on April 23rd, 2025
"But when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus." - Luke 24:3One of our greatest struggles is believing we must earn God's love and acceptance. We often approach God like we're applying for a job, trying to present our best qualifications. But Easter flips this mindset completely. The empty tomb declares that God's love and grace come before our performance, not after it. Jesu...  Read More

Breaking Free from the Graveyard
by Thomas Cheevers on April 22nd, 2025
"Woman, why are you crying?" Jesus asked her. "Who are you looking for?" - John 20:15Sometimes we get so accustomed to living in our struggles that we forget we've been set free. Like visitors to a graveyard, we keep returning to places of death - old habits, past failures, or lingering guilt - even though Jesus has already declared life over these areas. We might say we believe in forgiveness, bu...  Read More
