Faith Tested and Refined
by Thomas Cheevers on September 10th, 2025
"For you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness." – James 1:3Faith that isn’t tested cannot be trusted. Trials and challenges are not meant to destroy your faith but to refine it, much like fire purifies gold. Abraham’s faith was tested when God asked him to place Isaac on the altar. It wasn’t a test to harm him but to deepen his trust and dependence on God. Rahab’s faith was t...  Read More

Faith in Action

Proclaiming His Excellencies
by Thomas Cheevers on September 4th, 2025
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." – 1 Peter 2:9Why did God save you? It’s easy to settle for partial answers—peace, hope, forgiveness, eternal life. Those are precious gifts, but they’re not the full picture. You were rescued for a reason bigger...  Read More
