Uncles are adorned because they let you get away with what fathers call you out on. Uncles listen to your story and just flow with it, but fathers know you inside and out, what you are capable of, and they push you, and sometimes it seems harder than it needs to be, but it's part of the shaping, moulding, and pruning that will define your character and your destiny

He’s not Uncle God, He is Father God.

Marriage is a spiritual covenant where two become one, but let’s be clear: a wedding in a cathedral doesn’t make a covenant.

Ceremonies are beautiful, but they’re not magical. The vows are not incantations. It is your commitment to God, your willingness to submit to His will, and your decision to walk out His purpose together that makes the difference.

God must be first, not your feelings.
He is the contract. He is the covering.

And to the Singles…
If you’re not married, but in a relationship or desiring one, prayer should start there. And if you’re uncomfortable praying with them, or they flinch at the idea of spiritual alignment, ask yourself:

“Is this my soulmate, or just someone I’ve got chemistry with?”

We often don’t want God’s input; we want His approval after we have made our decision. But the most mature and hardest prayer you can ever pray is:
“Lord, have Your way. Let Your will be done.”

Now, some of you may be a little too sanctified for what you are about to hear. I began to reflect on the mindset of our culture today, where songs are often about materialism, shine, and bling. Unfortunately, we don’t hear many songs, including gospel songs, that exalt the truth that no material item can satisfy us beyond the flesh or that looking down on another because you’re up should not be satisfying.

This morning, I want to discuss the illusion of independence. Independence is defined as freedom from outside control or support. The word independence was never recorded in the Bible because its very premise goes against the order of what God has established. From inception, God designed every living thing to rely on something else to sustain its own existence. Independence is not part of God's plan.

Let’s be real—we don’t get to bulldoze our lives and start over in the womb. There’s no “demo and do-over” button for adulthood.
You can’t physically be born again, start at zero, and pretend none of it ever happened.
You’ve got to face it. Own it. And then bring it to the One who specializes in making broken things beautiful.

Walk obedient to the the word of God, being light in darkness
Galatians 5:22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Matthew 5:16

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 6:1-2 ESV / 93 helpful votes

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

“When Being Good Feels Like It’s Getting You Nowhere”

Let’s talk about that moment when life seems to be playing favorites… and you're not the favorite.

You know what I mean:

• You’re tithing, fasting, trying to forgive folks who don’t even think they wronged you…
  
  
  
• Meanwhile, Becky’s out here manifesting crystals, lying on her taxes, and just pulled up in a brand-new BMW with a job you fasted for.

Let’s be real—it feels unfair. Like the universe got your order wrong and gave it to the loudest complainer at Table 4.

Stop scrolling like you're the appointed Watchman of the World’s Doom.
Start praying like someone who believes heaven still hears.
And walk today like someone whose peace isn’t based on world leaders, but on the unchanging King of Kings.

Because while the world is warring...
You can still worship.
While the world is groaning...
You can still grow.
And while the world is losing sleep...
You can still rest — because your hope isn’t in headlines, it’s in Him. The One who is the Great I am
