Two weeks ago, a lot of familiar faces from our ministry convened at another local church, Campton Baptist, for a five day “Adventure Camp.”

The Christian life requires grace in every moment, grace for ourselves, grace for others. Every day, we should be open conduit for grace. Daily receiving, daily giving to the world.

We can get to that place where Jesus is right now by living out the life He has called us to: being active witnesses of Him in the world around us. As the Spirit lives and works through us, we bring the very presence of God to those around us: the Light into the darkness.

God was using this simple trail to remind me and my buddy, that while life is full of ups and downs, when we put our faith in Jesus, He does the heavy lifting for us! His yoke is easy and His burden is light!

God’s sovereign grace can step in at any point in a person's life and draw them to Himself! It’s not our job to estimate the probabilities of where grace should succeed. We serve a sovereign God who knows all things and there will never be a day where he is uncertain of the ones he has called to salvation.

In scripture, we see that repentance from our sins leads to reconciliation with God. Ultimately, this will be evidenced by producing good fruit, including the greatest commandment of loving the Lord our God with all our hearts and loving our neighbor as ourselves

The call to follow Christ is a call to move forward, leaving behind what no longer serves us. Make a conscious choice to release these burdens. Write down what you need to let go of, and submit it in prayer to God.

Every time a painful memory returns, we are gifted another opportunity to release it—not because the other person deserves our forgiveness, but because our own hearts deserve freedom. Refusing to hold onto bitterness allows us to reclaim our peace and joy.

As Christians, we believe all truth is God’s truth. When science is done with humility, it often deepens our sense of wonder and points us back to the order and intelligence of the Creator. Scripture also calls us to steward and care for the world God has entrusted to us.

While the world demands more from us, whether in terms of finances, time, or effort, salvation stands as a haven of grace. It is a reminder that we do not have to strive or earn our way into God's favor. Instead, we can rest in the assurance that His grace is enough.

How do we know God loves us? He gave His most prized possession—His very own Son—as a gift for us, so that we might see, hear, and know Him as He truly is. This is not the action of a God who merely wants us to know things or do things. He desires that we know Him intimately and experience His love.

In our spiritual journey, faith is the foundation that keeps us anchored. Yet, just as one would tie their camel to prevent it from wandering off, we must also commit ourselves to actions that align with our trust in God. Both actions complement each other and work in harmony.

The giants we face may seem daunting, but our God is greater than any obstacle. Our faith should inform how we view our situations, transforming our challenges through the lens of God’s greatness, as Joshua and Caleb did.

The key to navigating these uncertainties lies in our focus. Jehoshaphat teaches us that, even when we feel lost, we must fix our eyes upon God. The Spirit of the Lord responded to Jehoshaphat's plea and assured him that the battle was His.

In our daily struggles, it is easy to forget the true nature of what we are facing. We often push against our circumstances, our fears, or even our own insecurities. However, Scripture reminds us that the resources we are given are not physical but spiritual, carrying the power to tear down the strongholds in our lives. One of the most sincere spiritual gifts available to us is worship.

A few weeks ago, representatives Eunice Jenkins and Chloe Astholz attended the 2026 Skiers and Snowboarders for Chris Conference. This year's conference took place in South Tahoe, California. Over 50 skiers and snowboarders gathered together to share their love of snowsports and Jesus.

Gratitude begins in the ordinary. When we consciously acknowledge and appreciate the small blessings in our lives, we cultivate a heart of thankfulness. This practice shifts our focus from what we lack to recognizing the abundance around us. In every simple moment, God’s faithfulness shines brightly.

“It has been a wonderful experience to compete in the Olympic Games and to bring home a gold medal. But since I have been a young lad, I have had my eyes on a different prize. You see, each one of us is in a greater race than any I have run in Paris, and this race ends when God gives out the medals.”

God’s will is that we would rely on Him, walk with Him, and understand how He has uniquely called us to something! This requires the daily renewing of our minds. As we renew our minds regularly, we slowly begin to understand HOW faith in Jesus works, rather than only knowing WHAT faith in Jesus looks like. Let’s commit to knowing the HOW.

When we intentionally choose to fast from things we enjoy, we are dying to our own cravings and in a small way experiencing fellowship with Christ who endured actual death so we could have new life. In turn this should remind us to look to the resurrection- the hope we have for new life and longings fulfilled- not fulfillment in the things we have given up, but in Christ.
