Go to the circus, and you will find every opportunity to create great memories with your family. Unfortunately, the circus hasn’t always been a place of such lighthearted joy. Known as the “freak show,” people with physical disabilities or deformities were sometimes treated like merchandise and put on display for the amusement of others. Satan will do this in our lives, turning our minds into a circus of accusations, regret, and shame. Here’s what we need to know: Satan replays the guilt; Jesus redeems the guilty.

The promise of "that day" gives hope for every day.

Watch a magician closely, and you may still miss the trick. While one hand waves a bright scarf and the crowd watches a puff of smoke, the other hand does what you never saw coming. It’s smoke and mirrors: your eyes are open, but your attention is somewhere else. Jesus stood before the crowds, yet distractions kept many from seeing Him clearly. Here's what we learn: The enemy doesn't have to destroy you; he only needs to distract you.

Our sanctification begins at the cross and ends with the kingdom.

I love bread…especially when it is freely given at a restaurant. Sometimes, we choose where we eat dinner based on who has the best bread! In our passage today, a group of people that Jesus previously fed came looking for more. But instead of giving them more, He told them what they needed to hear: the bread you’re looking for will not last. So, He offered them something better—Himself. Here's what we learn: Jesus is the Bread of Life for all of life.

Thank you for joining us for this special update from Pastor Casimir. He will be sharing about the ministry in Haiti planting churches, feeding children, and witnessing revival sweep through Haiti.

Storms can sneak up on us out of nowhere. You went into the grocery store with no clouds in sight. You come out to a monsoon. You can’t choose the time, the place, or the intensity. The disciples were faced with a really big storm at a really bad time; yet Jesus proved to be greater than the storm. And here’s what we can learn from their story: The strength of the storm rests 
within the boundaries of Christ.

What is your lost cause in life? What has you ready to give up? A person? A situation? A big project? All of us have things we've quietly put into the "lost cause" category. For the disciples, feeding the five thousand felt like an impossible task. But looking in the face of their limitations, they learned this: a lost cause is never lost on Jesus.
