Yesterday, August 16, 2026 we were truly blessed and encouraged by the powerful message of Rev. Dr. Bruce Alder — Professor, Pastor, and Author, as he shared from Joshua 3:9–14. His message reminded us of a beautiful truth: “Your story is important because God is at work in your life.” Every story has its struggles, questions, seasons of waiting, and moments when we may wonder where God is. Yet, even in those moments, God remains present and continues to work. God is real. God works. God changes lives. When God shows up, things happen! We were reminded that our lives are not simply a collection of circumstances or coincidences. God is actively working behind the scenes and even through the difficult chapters of our lives. He is not only a part of the story—God is the Hero of the story.
Dr. Bruce also shared how there were moments in his own life when he questioned God, especially when his family experienced poverty and difficult circumstances. But through those experiences, God continued to prove that He acts, He provides, and He works in ways beyond what we can see. His testimony reminded us that sometimes we may not understand what God is doing, but we can trust that He is doing something. God still works in real lives, in real families, and in real situations. He still changes hearts, opens doors, strengthens the weak, and allows us to encounter Christ in amazing ways. As we continue our journey this week, may we carry this message with us: Our story matters because God is writing it. Our struggles are not the end of the story. Our questions do not cancel God's faithfulness. And our future is still in His hands.
Dr. Bruce ask a final question, What is God calling you to this week?
Just as Israel had to step forward in faith before they could experience what God was about to do at the Jordan River, may we also be willing to move when God calls us. We may not see the whole path, but we can trust the One who leads us. God is real. God works. God changes lives. And God is still at work in your story. ✨🙏🏻
