  Beloved Family, In this week's Story of Faith, we reflect on one of the most powerful moments recorded in Matthew, the day Peter walked on water. The Bible tells us that the disciples were in a boat in the middle of a violent storm. The wind was raging, the waves were crashing, and darkness surrounded them. Fear gripped their hearts as they struggled against forces they could not control. To them, it seemed as though all hope was slipping away. Then, in the midst of that storm, they saw someone walking on the water toward them. Terrified, they thought it was a ghost. Their fear only grew stronger. But Jesus Christ saw their troubled hearts. He saw their fear, their confusion, and their desperation. Immediately He spoke words that still bring comfort today: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." Peter recognized the voice of his Master. Deep within his heart, he knew it was Jesus. So he answered, "Lord, if it is You, tell me to come to You on the water....

  Beloved Family, Today, across cities and villages, across nations rich and poor, millions of people are fighting battles that cannot be seen with human eyes. Some are lying awake at night wondering how they will pay their bills. Some are carrying the crushing weight of unemployment and uncertainty. Some are suffering from betrayal by those they trusted most. Some are struggling with anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, and fear of the future. Others are smiling before the world while their hearts quietly break behind closed doors. Perhaps you are one of them. Perhaps you have cried tears that no one has seen. Perhaps you have prayed prayers that seem unanswered. Perhaps you have carried burdens so heavy that you wondered whether you could take another step. A little story: In a distant land there was a valley where many people lived. To the eyes of travelers, the valley appeared peaceful. Children played in the streets, merchants sold their goods, and families gathered arou...

Beloved Family, Today, I want to speak directly to the young people who are growing up in Christian homes, surrounded by parents, siblings, grandparents, and family members who love them. Sometimes, when you're young, it's easy to think your role in the family isn't that important. You may feel like you're always being told what to do, corrected, or expected to listen while the adults make the important decisions. You may even believe that making a real difference is something you'll do later in life, when you're older, more experienced, and have greater responsibilities. I would like to let you know that God doesn't see you that way. God has never measured a person's usefulness by their age. Throughout Scripture, He often chose young people to carry His purposes and bring blessing to others. He used young David to confront a giant. He called young Samuel to hear His voice. He used young Timothy to lead and encourage believers. God delights in worki...

Almighty God, The greater LIGHT, Creator of heaven and earth, I come before YOUR Throne of grace with humble heart, I lift up YOUR Holy and magnificent Name. You are the Alpha? You are the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the One who was, who is, and who is to come. There is none like You in all the earth. You are worthy of all glory, honor, worship, and praise.
