Be Encouraged by God's Word
“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”

— Matthew 13:31-32, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

You can judge the quality of their faith from the way they behave. Discipline is an index to doctrine.

— Tertullian

Pray Together with Us

O Lord, give us wise, self-controlled, patient, understanding, devout, faithful, and courageous hearts.
Fill our souls with devotion to your service, and strength against all temptations; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
