Get Close to Jesus — Listen to His Heartbeat

Bible References: James 4:8, John 13:23, Psalm 103:7, 1 John 4:8, 1 John 4:16

There is a difference between knowing about Jesus and truly knowing Him. A relationship grows through communication, time, and a desire to be close. God is not hiding from you or keeping you at a distance. He invites you to draw near to Him! Don't wait for someone else to spoon-feed you spiritually—get hungry for God yourself. Take the first step, open your heart, spend time in His presence, and wrap yourself tightly around Jesus. Get so close that you begin to recognize His voice and understand His heart. Jesus knows the hearts of men, and He desires a genuine relationship with you. Don't settle for knowing His works when you can seek to know His ways. The Father has opened the door for you to come near. How hungry are you for His presence? Get close to Jesus, draw near to His heart, and learn to listen to His heartbeat!

In Christ,

The King Is Coming — Recognize the Signs!

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: 2 Peter 3:1–9, John 14:3, Matthew 24:36, Luke 21:28, Amos 3:7, Ezekiel 36:24, Ezekiel 37:1–14, Ezekiel 37:21–22, Isaiah 66:8, Zechariah 2:8, Zechariah 12:2–3, Matthew 24:3–8, Matthew 24:37

Jesus promised that He would come again, and God’s Word has not failed. Even when scoffers mock the promise of His return, we must remain watchful and grounded in Scripture. On May 14, 1948, Israel was reborn as a nation in a single day—a historic event that many students of Bible prophecy connect with the signs of the last days. Jesus described the events leading up to His return as birth pains, reminding us to pay attention and not lose heart as the world experiences turmoil. We do not know the day or the hour, but we are called to recognize the signs, lift up our heads, and live ready for our coming King. The question is not whether Jesus will keep His promise, but whether we will be ready when He comes. The King is coming—stay awake, stay faithful, and keep looking up!

In Christ,

Stay Connected to the Vine

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: John 15:1–8, Galatians 5:22, Matthew 7:16–20

DATE: 10-04-26

The branch cannot produce life on its own—it must stay connected to the vine. Jesus is the True Vine, and He is our source of life, strength, and fruitfulness. In these last days, we cannot afford to become disconnected from His presence. We need to abide in Him, remain in His Word, and stay sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit. The question is not whether God wants to be present in our lives, but how much of His presence are we willing to pursue? The closer we stay connected to Jesus, the more His life flows through us and the more fruit we will produce. A healthy branch shows evidence that it is connected to the vine. Our lives should show the fruit of the Spirit and give evidence that Jesus is living through us. Stay connected. Abide in Him. Don't let the distractions of this world pull you away from the source of your life.

In Christ,

Pastor Stacey Carver
