YOUR FAITHFULNESS IN GIVING MATTERS
As we step into this new season together, we’re reminded that every act of faith begins with trust. One way we express our trust in God is through giving our tithes and offerings. When we give, we acknowledge that everything we have comes from Him, and we partner with His work in and through our church. Your faithfulness in giving helps us continue sharing God’s love, serving our community, and stepping boldly into the plans He has for us. Let’s give with hearts full of gratitude and courage, trusting that God will provide for every need.

Love begins with a spark, but only lasts when we choose to keep the fire going.
Falling in love is easy.Staying in love takes work. The same is true in our relationship with God.
My beloved spoke and said to me, “Arise, my dearest, my beauty, and come away with me. Don’t you see? The winter is done. The rains and clouds have come and gone. The flowers are unfolding in the fields; the birds are warming up their songs, The cooing of the turtledove is heard throughout the land. The fig trees are bringing forth their first fruit, and the vines are in blossom, filling the air with their fragrance. So arise my dearest, my beauty, and come away with me.” —Song of Solomon 2:10-13
Real love doesn’t leave us frozen in place; it moves us forward.
God never leaves us stranded in dry, distant seasons. He leads us into something new, fresh, and alive.
Love doesn’t stay stuck in yesterday. Love moves forward into tomorrow.
Love, whether with God or others, is like a dance: One person steps forward, reaches out, and invites. The other has a choice: step in or step away.
No relationship stays the same over time. Relationships either grow or drift.
Life moves fast, and if we’re not intentional, the ones who matter most can quietly slip to the background.
LOVE NEEDS PRESENCE. Love is about showing up, over and over again, in the little moments that matter more than we realize.
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with them, and they with me. —Revelation 3:20
The same things that build strong friendships draw us closer to God: SHOWING UP, LISTENING, and RESPONDING.
Love doesn’t just survive when we nurture it; it actually GROWS.
GOD HASN’T GIVEN UP ON YOU. He’s still reaching out with open arms, ready to welcome you home.
WILL YOU OPEN YOUR HEART TO JESUS TODAY?
Maybe something is stirring in you today. Maybe love—whether in your relationships or in your faith—feels more distant than it used to. You can feel the gap, but you’re not sure how to close it. Maybe you’ve never really responded to God’s invitation, or maybe you did once, but now it just feels like you’re showing up but not really feeling it.
Here’s the good news: Love isn’t lost. It’s not too late. God hasn’t given up on you—He’s still calling, still reaching out. Not with frustration, not with disappointment, but with open arms, ready to welcome you home. So if today feels like the moment to say yes to His love—maybe for the first time, or maybe just to find your way back—we want to invite you to pray with us:
God, I hear You. I don’t want to keep love at a distance or let my heart grow cold. So today, I say yes—yes to Your love, yes to Your grace, yes to the relationship You’re inviting me into. Forgive me for the times I’ve pulled away—when fear, distractions, or failure got in the way. Right now, I open the door. Come in. Stir my heart again. Teach me how to love—really love—the way You intended. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Whether you’re taking your first step of faith or your next one, know that you’re not alone.
God is with you, and so are we!
