When the Books are Opened
									by Matthew Allen on October 31st, 2025
									If you could open the record of your life right now — every thought, every word, every choice — what would you see? It’s sobering to think about. But for God’s people, it’s not meant to terrify — it’s meant to purify. It reminds us that life is short and eternity is sure. Now, as we reach the final month of our vision plan, we come to the moment when the Kingdom reaches its fulfillment — the moment when faith becomes sight.  Read More

								Victory Through Prayer
									by Matthew Allen on October 16th, 2025
									Prayer changes things, but more than that, it changes us. It teaches dependence. It replaces panic with peace. It turns worry into worship. When we bring everything before God with thanksgiving, He guards our hearts and minds with His presence.  Read More

								Victory in Obedience
									by Matthew Allen on October 10th, 2025
									Obedience has never been about earning salvation. It’s the natural result of being saved. Grace doesn’t cancel obedience—it empowers it. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commands.” That’s not a threat—it’s a promise. Real grace produces a heart that wants to do God’s will. We obey because we’ve been rescued. We follow because we’ve been found. As Paul said, “By the grace of God I am what I am… yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.” (1 Corinthians 15:10)  Read More

								Facing Death with Faith
									by Matthew Allen on September 4th, 2025
									In John 11:25, Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live.” That is the promise we cling to. Death is inevitable, but it is not the end. For those in Christ, death is the doorway into eternal life.  Read More

								Clothed in Righteousness
									by Matthew Allen on August 30th, 2025
									Come and be reminded that if you are in Christ, your name is already on the guest list. If you have not yet been baptized into Christ, the invitation remains open. Don’t leave your seat empty. Don’t leave your garment behind.  Read More

								Prayer is Not Powerless
									by Matthew Allen on August 29th, 2025
									In the aftermath, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey addressed the city. In his remarks, he said: “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying.”
The intent was to call for more than words in response to violence. But the effect was something much deeper, and for Christians, deeply troubling. His words carried the implication that prayer failed. That in the moment those children prayed, heaven was silent. That prayer itself is powerless.
