by Matthew Allen on January 10th, 2026

The Greatest Gift the Church Has Ever Received
by Matthew Allen on December 19th, 2025
We often talk about the gifts Christ gives His people: leaders, Scripture, ministry, and mission. All of those matter. All of them are necessary. But they are not the greatest gift. The church exists, not because it has the right tools or the right plans, but because Christ Himself is present with His people.  Read More

Christ’s Gifts to His Church
by Matthew Allen on December 5th, 2025
We want every member to see the beauty of Christ’s design for His body. The church is not an audience. It’s not a set of programs. It’s not a handful of people doing everything. It is a community Christ has equipped—person by person, gift by gift—to build one another up in love.  Read More

The Quiet Sin that Tears Us Apart
by Matthew Allen on November 18th, 2025
Gossip wounds people deeply. Psalm 41:7 describes how enemies whisper together, plotting harm against the one they talk about. Gossip may sound casual, but it is often intended to hurt. Psalm 56:5 says the thoughts behind such words are evil; they aim to damage another’s reputation, peace, or relationships.  Read More

How to Finish Well
by Matthew Allen on November 15th, 2025
Following Jesus means running the same kind of race. We follow with endurance, humility, and trust. God never promised an easy path, but He did promise His presence. Jesus has gone before us, and He walks beside us. Every time we feel like quitting, Scripture calls us to look again at Him—His strength, His patience, His faithfulness.  Read More
