“If Your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.” — Exodus 33:15

Today we were reminded that God’s presence is more valuable than any blessing, opportunity, or destination. Moses understood that success without God is empty, so he made God’s presence his highest priority.

When we seek God’s presence:
✅ We receive direction for life’s decisions.
✅ We find peace and rest in the middle of life’s storms.
✅ We are transformed into the people God has called us to be.

Our prayer is simple: “Lord, don’t let us go anywhere without You.”

May we seek God’s face above all else and trust Him to lead us every step of the way.

Hebrews 12:1–3 reminds us to keep running the race God has set before us with endurance and faith. We must lay aside every weight and distraction, keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, and remember how He endured the cross for our salvation. When challenges come, don’t give up—persevere in faith, knowing that God strengthens those who trust Him. The race may be difficult, but victory belongs to those who remain steadfast.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

Their courage secured the freedoms we enjoy each day, and their legacy lives on in the hearts of grateful Americans. As we gather with family and friends, let us never forget those who gave everything for our country.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

🇺🇸 Honoring our fallen heroes.
🇺🇸 Remembering their sacrifice.
🇺🇸 Forever grateful.

Stronger After the Storm
Amber Alvarado— Speaker

The storms of life are not meant to destroy us; they are opportunities for God to strengthen our faith, build our character, and draw us closer to Him. In Romans 5:3-5, we learn that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance builds character, and character produces hope—a hope that will not disappoint because God’s love is poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.

James 1:2-4 encourages us to count it all joy when we face trials because the testing of our faith develops perseverance, leading us toward spiritual maturity and completeness. Every challenge we endure is shaping us into who God has called us to be.

Finally, Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that when we place our hope in the Lord, He renews our strength. We will rise above our circumstances like eagles, run without growing weary, and walk without fainting.

Key Message: The storm may be difficult, but it is not the end of the story. When we trust God through the trials, we emerge stronger, wiser, more resilient, and filled with greater hope than before. The storm may have tested us, but God uses it to make us stronger after the storm. 🙏🏽🌈⛈️➡️💪🏽✨

Takeaway: Don’t focus on what the storm took from you—focus on what God is producing in you through it.

Pentecost Sunday
Sunday, May 24, 2026

Pentecost Sunday commemorates the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the believers as recorded in the Bible’s Acts. It is often called the “birthday of the Church” because it marks the beginning of the disciples’ public ministry and the spread of the Gospel.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” — Acts 1:8 (KJV)

Pentecost Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit. Fill us anew with Your power, wisdom, and love. Help us to walk in obedience, speak with boldness, and serve with compassion. Unite Your people, strengthen our faith, and let our lives reflect Your glory. May Your Spirit guide us, comfort us, and lead us into all truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏽🕊️🔥

“I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.” — Psalm 69:30

No matter the season, there is always a reason to praise God. Gratitude shifts our focus from what’s missing to the faithfulness of God that never fails. 🙌🏽✨

“Be ready, be faithful, and remember God’s deliverance.”

Exodus 12:11-14 reminds us of the first Passover — a moment when God instructed His people to prepare, trust, and move in obedience. The blood on the doorposts became a sign of protection, and God’s promise covered every household that believed.

This scripture is a powerful reminder that God still delivers, protects, and keeps His promises. Even in uncertain seasons, we are called to stay spiritually prepared, walk in faith, and remember the victories God has already brought us through.

Elder Chris Yarbrough — Speaker

Today, may we live with gratitude for His covering, confidence in His timing, and faith that He is still making a way.
