Series Theme: I Got It “WHAT IS IT?” Exodus 16:1–15 (The Message)Overall Theme: Hidden Manna Follows: Aha, I Can Finally See 🌅 BIG IDEA Sometimes God provides what we need in ways we don’t recognize. The Israelites looked at God’s miracle and said, “What is it?” — but what looked strange was actually sustenance for their soul. When we trust God through the wilderness, we learn that His provision often looks unfamiliar, but it’s always enough. POINT 1: PREPARATION FO


Why I Vote: A Reflection from the Deep South
I grew up in the Deep South, where my very existence was a protest. I remember when the right to vote wasn’t just a line on a poster — it was a battleground. Our elders faced down hate, humiliation, and violence just to cast a ballot. They weren’t voting for candidates; they were voting for dignity, freedom, and the right to shape the world their children would inherit. So when someone asks me, “Why do you vote?” , I don’t hesitate. I vote because my ancestors fought, bled,

Series Theme: I Got It “Aha, I Can Finally See” Luke 24:13–32 (KJV)Overall Theme: Hidden Manna 🔍 BIG IDEA Sometimes we don’t recognize that Jesus is walking right beside us — until something opens our eyes. The story of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus shows us how God meets us in our confusion, reveals Himself through His Word, and provides what we need even when we don’t see Him clearly. POINT 1: GOD MEETS ME WHERE I AM (vv. 13–16) Two disciples are walking awa

Sunday, November 2, 2025 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, a

Saturday, November 1, 2025 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Revelation 22:12 When Jesus says, “Behold, I come quickly,” it’s not just about timing—it’s about readiness. The Lord reminds us that His return is certain and His reward is sure. Those who walk faithfully, even when unseen or uncelebrated, can rest in knowing that God has already noticed their labor. The Hidden Manna of this promise is that whi

Friday, October 31, 2025 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world

Thursday, October 30, 2025 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Matthew 16:27 Jesus reminds us that our daily choices carry eternal weight, even when no one else notices. Seeing with faith means recognizing that every act of kindness, forgiveness, and obedience contributes to something larger than the moment. When we pray, “ Lord, I Want To See ,” we are asking for eyes to discern

Wednesday, October 29, 2025 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: John 17:1 When Jesus lifted His eyes toward heaven and said, “Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee,” He showed us what it means to see with purpose. His gaze was not fixed on what was before Him—the hardship, the cross—but on the glory that would come through ob

Tuesday, October 28, 2025 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and dep

Monday, October 27, 2025 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the
