    THE PATTERNS OF YOUR LIFE

    Proverbs 4:25-26
    “Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
    Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.”

    These verse this morning reminds us that the direction of our life is often determined by the what we choose to focus on.
    Where our eyes settle… our mind begins to follow. And where our mind goes… our steps are not far behind.

    The Psalmist says, “Let thine eyes look right on.” That speaks to me of intentional focus. Not distracted, Not wandering, not random, and not constantly pulled to the left or right by every passing thought, emotion, or circumstance.
    A steady gaze is highlighted here, a choice to look forward, to stay centered on what truly matters.

    The Vision Moving Forward – This Is The Life Podcast

    As we approach six years of This Is The Life Podcast this coming June, it still feels a lot like sitting on that front porch, looking back at where the Lord has brought us from, and quietly listening for where He’s leading us next.
    What started as a simple step of faith has become something far greater than we could have ever planned.
    And yet, it still carries that same purpose. A place of peace, reflection, and drawing closer to Jesus Christ.

    The vision moving forward is not as much about becoming Larger, as it is about becoming more impactful.

  • EVERY OPEN DOOR

    EVERY OPEN DOOR

    Every Open Door

    God has a way of opening doors at just the right time. Not our time, but His.
    And when He does, it is not by accident or coincidence. It is intentional, prepared, and placed right where you are at the moment. The key is learning to recognize when that open door is from the Lord and not a distraction trying to pull you away from your purpose.

    Now there are seasons in all of our lives when it feels like nothing is moving, it seems like you’re just waiting, praying, and wondering when something will change.
    Then, almost overnight, a door opens, and if you’re not paying attention, you might miss it or mistake it for something else.

    Revelation Revelation 3:8
    “I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.”

    Understanding Your Identity Pt. 2
    John 13:34–35

    “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
    By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

    There is defining moment here when Jesus said these words.
    He did not say the world would know we belong to Him by our titles, our talents, our knowledge, how much we Praise , pray, or even by how loud we can speak about our faith. He said they would know we belong to Him by our love for each other.

    In Heaven, our identity is forever settled by the presence of the Holy Spirit.
    We are sealed, marked, and claimed as His own.
    But here on this earth, what people often see first is not the invisible seal of the Spirit, but the visible fruit of His work in our lives.

  • UNDERSTANDING YOUR IDENTITY

    UNDERSTANDING YOUR IDENTITY

    YOUR TRUE IDENTITY
    Romans 8:16–18
    “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
    And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
    For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”

    There’s something deeply reassuring about belonging to God. We all want to know where we come from, where we’re going, and who we truly are.
    In Romans 8, Paul gives us one of the most powerful reminders of our spiritual identity and our future: we are not just God’s creation, we are His children.

  • WHEN THE HEART AGREES

    WHEN THE HEART AGREES

    When the Heart Agrees

    We talked last week about Romans 8:28 and how God is working in the middle of our pain, confusion, heartache, and even our failures. God showed us that even the hard places of life are never wasted in His hands.
    Every wrong turn can become wisdom. Every valley can grow strength. Every scar can become a testimony that helps someone else keep from falling in the same area of life.
    That verse reminds us that God is always working things together for good.

    But the more I pondered on that promise, the more I realize verse 28 does not stand alone. There is no “all things work together for good” without first understanding what happens in verse 27.

    Romans 8:27 says, “And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”

    That verse brings us back to the heart.
    Before God ever works in the circumstances around us, He is first working on something within us.

    FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

    All Things Working Together

    Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

    There are some seasons in life that do not make sense while we are living through them.
    Some days feel like the road turns without warning to a place we never wanted to be.
    We begin to question things, our minds wrestle with confusion, and we wonder why things had to unfold the way they did.
    Yet this verse reminds us that even when we cannot understand what God is doing, He is still working for our good.

  • A PERSONAL PROMISE TO YOU

    A PERSONAL PROMISE TO YOU
    Apr 9 2026
    John 14:1–3
    Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
    In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
    And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

    The Word of God is full of promises and one of the most comforting is found in John 14.
    What stands out to me in these three verses is how many times Jesus says “I.”
    Not in pride, but in promise. Every “I” is a reminder that our peace is not resting on what we can do for Jesus, but what He has done and is doing for us.
