Starting a faith journey is exciting but can feel overwhelming. God calls us to support one another, just as Barnabas did in the Bible. Encouragement uplifts those struggling and helps them see their potential in Christ. Our words have power—use them to inspire and strengthen others. Everyone can be an encourager, fulfilling their God-given purpose. Ask God to show you who needs encouragement today, and take action to uplift them in their faith journey.

Setting Healthy Boundaries with Love and Grace

Posted on By Pastor Harold

Understanding the importance of healthy boundaries can reshape your relationships and restore your peace. Boundaries are not about shutting people out but about defining the space where you can flourish and love others without losing yourself. By setting clear limits, you protect your emotional and spiritual well-being, making room for deeper, more authentic connections.

When you guard your heart as Proverbs 4:23 encourages, you’re not just protecting yourself—you’re honoring the life God has entrusted to you. Healthy boundaries allow you to give from a place of abundance rather than depletion, ensuring that your generosity and kindness don’t come at the cost of your own well-being.

Posted on By Pastor Harold

January is recognized as Self-Love Month, offering a meaningful opportunity to pause and prioritize self-care while embracing the unique worth God has placed within each of us. It’s a time to reflect on how we can better nurture our mental, emotional, and physical well-being, all while staying rooted in our faith.

As believers, self-love isn’t about self-centeredness—it’s about honoring God’s creation by caring for ourselves in ways that align with His purpose. Psalm 139:14 (NIV) reminds us, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
