The prophet Amos was not the kind of man anyone would have chosen to shake a nation awake. He was a farmer. A shepherd. A man from nowhere. Yet God took this ordinary man and sent him to speak to a people who looked spiritually alive on the outside while quietly dying within. Israel was prosperous. Religion was active. The economy was thriving. But underneath the surface were injustice, immorality, greed, and empty worship. People still gathered for religious festivals, but t

Mother’s Day is one of those sacred days that lands differently depending on who is listening. For some, the word mother feels like warmth — laughter in the next room, comfort in hard moments, someone who made the world feel safe. For others, the word carries grief: absence, confusion, rejection, or wounds that never fully healed. Both experiences matter to God. One of the most beautiful things about Jesus is that He never rushes people past their pain. He sits with the grate

On the surface, life had never been better. But underneath? A different story. The gap between rich and poor was widening. Justice was for sale. The vulnerable were exploited. Worship became hollow—even corrupt. God’s people were busy, successful, and spiritually numb. So God sent Amos. Not a polished preach

This week, Trinity prayed two men into Eldership. Luke and Jeremy were brought into leadership with the blessing of David Campbell, and he was also our guest speaker. In his sermon, he explored a transformative truth: The Church is not a religious institution designed for dead rituals; it is an expression of the Kingdom of God, advancing through power and sacrificial love. Where Israel Failed, Jesus Triumphed The story of the Kingdom doesn't begin with us; it begins with Jesu

2 Corinthians 9:7 When the topic of giving comes up, many people instinctively brace themselves—expecting pressure, guilt, or obligation. But the gospel starts somewhere entirely different. It doesn’t begin with what God wants from you. It begins with what God has already done for you—and to you. You are already accepted, already secure, already His. ⸻ 1. Grace Removes the Pressure “Not reluctantly or under compulsion…” God is not interested in guilt-driven giving. If you’ve
