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. Yet sometimes we stand outside our own empty tombs, assuming nothing has changed. We look at our situations through the lens of what was, rather than what could be through God's power.

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. - Luke 24:1-2Have you ever felt like there was an immovable obstacle between you and God?

The Invitation Still Stands
by Thomas Cheevers on April 19th, 2025
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28The cross is not just a historical event—it’s a living invitation. Every nail, every cry, every drop of blood echoes through time, calling out: Come. Come all who are weary. Come all who are guilty. Come all who are searching. The veil is torn, the debt is paid, the stone is rolled away, and the invitation s...  Read More
