“Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.” — Matthew 7:20
Heavenly Father, please forgive me when I have chosen to travel the broad road. It only leads to destruction. Forgive me when I don’t connect with You and in turn bear “bad fruit”. Forgive me also when I have built my life on the sand, that when the waves (hardships) come I am easily knocked over because I didn’t rely on You. Instead I choose to focus on You, Jesus! I choose to go through the narrow gate because I know it is the path that leads to life. I choose to be a tree that bears good fruit so that others would be able to acknowledge who You are. I choose to build my life on the rock, a solid foundation, that whenever trials and hardships come you will allow for me to stand firm in You. Help me to be consistent with all these things that will bring honor and glory to you O Lord. In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen!

Go For It!
Ecclesiastes 11:1-6
June 21, 2026 | Guest Speaker: Dr. John E. Johnson
“Ship your grain across the sea; after many days you may receive a return. Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land. If clouds are full of water, they pour rain on the earth. Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie. Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap. As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.”
— Ecclesiastes 11:1-6
The Father Who Seeks Lost Sons
Luke 15:11-32
June 28, 2026 | Pastor John Barrow
Jesus tells the parable of the Prodigal Son in response to the Pharisees’ criticism that He welcomed sinners. While the younger son represents open rebellion and the older son represents self-righteousness, both are separated from the father in different ways. At the center of the story is the compassionate father, who eagerly pursues, forgives, and restores his children. Through this parable, Jesus reveals the heart of God, who rejoices when the lost are found and invites all people to experience His grace.
