Introduction: We have arrived at the eighth month of the year! Can you believe it? It feels like we just shouted, “Happy New Year!” yesterday. And yet, here we are! Time is moving swiftly, and before you know it, this year will be over. Even though the days are flying by, now is the time to prepare for the new harvest. Spiritually, it is a powerful season to reflect on how God is getting us ready for what’s next. Life is full of swift transitions, and things are quickly changing around us. However, in the midst of all of that, God is still working, and He’s preparing something new, regardless of what the world may say or do. This month, […]

Scripture: Psalm 51:12 NIV “Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.” Opening Prayer: Heavenly Father, I come before You today with an open heart. Life’s challenges have sometimes drained my joy, but I believe You are the Restorer of all things. Today, I ask You to restore to me the joy of Your salvation.

With strong faith, our confidence is […]

Scripture: Romans 10:17 NASB “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.” Lesson Content: Today’s focus is on understanding and developing the levels of faith. According to Romans 12:3, every believer has been given the measure of faith by God, but it is our responsibility to nurture and strengthen it. Faith does not increase; rather, it strengthens from one level to the next through discipline, daily practice, and aligning our lives with God’s Word. Just as physical strength is built through regular exercise, our faith grows when we actively engage with Scripture and practice obedience to God. It’s important not to compare your faith to others or think that your position in life determines your measure […]
