🙏 We are so close — and we need your help to get there!
To God be the glory — we have raised $1,500 toward our mission trip to the Navajo Nation! But we still need $2,700 to make this trip fully possible.
In just a few weeks our family will be traveling to Mariano Lake, New Mexico to serve at Diné'tah Youth Ministries Summer Camp (June 22–30), ministering to Navajo youth ages 8–19 through Vacation Bible School, worship services, arts and crafts, games, bonfires, and fellowship — all centered on the life-changing truth of the Gospel.
Every dollar you give goes directly toward getting our family to the reservation to serve these precious youth for Christ.
👇 Give today and be part of what God is doing on the Navajo Nation:

If giving isn't possible right now, we still ask for your prayers — that God would provide every dollar needed and that many Navajo youth would encounter the life-changing love of Jesus this summer.
Thank you for standing with us. 💙

The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

For years, my heart has been tied to the Navajo Nation. This year, I have the privilege of bringing my family along to witness what it looks like to follow Christ into the harvest field.

Our mission is to lead youth ages 8–19 into a life-changing encounter with Jesus. We are going to teach them that through repentance and faith, they can walk in a brand-new identity.

We are looking for partners who believe in the power of the Gospel to change lives. Every prayer and every gift helps us reach these students with the message of hope.

🔥 The Fiery Furnace: A Story of Loyalty and God’s Sovereignty 🔥
Daniel 3 tells a story that is as relevant today as it was in Babylon: a test of believing loyalty. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego faced a king, a furnace, and impossible stakes—but their hearts were fully devoted to Yahweh.
Nebuchadnezzar set up a golden statue and commanded everyone to worship it. Those who refused would face a fiery death. Yet these three men boldly declared:
"If it is so, our God, whom we serve, is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire. And if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods." (Daniel 3:17–18)
Their faith wasn’t dependent on the outcome. Their loyalty came with a cost—and God used their trial to display His sovereignty. The fire didn’t consume them; His glory did. Even a pagan king had to acknowledge that there is no god like their God.
💡 Key Truths for Us Today:
1️⃣ True faith is living loyalty to God, not ourselves (1 Corinthians 6:19–20).
2️⃣ Faithfulness doesn’t exempt us from trials; it often invites them (2 Timothy 3:12).
3️⃣ God may not always remove the fire, but He will never let it destroy you (Matthew 28:19–20).
Their unshakable allegiance reminds us: the battle isn’t about comfort, control, or even life itself—it’s about loyalty. Will we trust God fully, whether in the flames or in the calm?
Let us decide today—before the fire comes—where our hearts truly belong. Set apart Christ as Lord in your heart, and be ready to give an answer for the hope within you, with humility, reverence, and unwavering devotion (1 Peter 3:15–16).
🔥 Be loyal to the end. Trust Him fully. Let God’s glory shine through every trial. 🔥

A Warning Against Spiritual Complacency:

In our journey of faith, it’s easy to fall into the trap of spiritual complacency. This state of mind can be subtle, creeping in when we least expect it, and it can hinder our growth and relationship with God Almighty.

In this sermon, Willie Smith of New Creation517 Inc. powerfully argues that Jesus came to save sinners, not the righteous. He emphasizes that Jesus offers forgiveness and transformation through faith, rather than validating sin. Sinners, recognizing their need for salvation, are drawn to Jesus, while religious leaders criticize Him for welcoming them. Willie highlights how Jesus offers healing and calls sinners to repent, using Matthew's life as a prime example of Jesus' transformative power. Embrace Jesus' call to repentance and experience profound transformation in your own life.

The video "Conquering Fears with the Good Shepherd" delves into the comforting message of Psalm 23, portraying the unwavering confidence of David in the Good Shepherd, identified as Yahweh God. Using a personal zoo experience with a frightened child as an analogy, the speaker highlights the parallels between a father reassuring his scared son and David finding assurance in God's presence during challenging times. The teaching emphasizes the Shepherd's guidance through dark valleys, the importance of trust in His leadership, and the ultimate destination of abundance and rest. The video encourages believers to take comfort in the Shepherd's assurance, regardless of their current circumstances, and underscores the transformative power of the Spirit in overcoming fears.

"Oh, Immanu El - Yahweh God with us!

Exploring the creation account in Genesis deepens our understanding of Yahweh God. In these verses, we discover His might, eternity, sovereignty, creativity, love, and holiness. As we delve into the unfolding of creation, we witness the power of His spoken word—a mere utterance that commanded unwavering obedience from all of creation. Genesis Chapter 1 echoes with the resounding phrase "Yahweh God Said" seven times, each time resulting in the fulfillment of His command—light, the expanse of the sky, the gathering of waters, the emergence of vegetation, the lights in the sky, living creatures in seas and skies, and animals filling the earth—all brought into existence by His words.

Remarkably, when it came to humanity, Yahweh God chose a more intimate approach. Instead of merely speaking them into existence, He personally formed man, Adam, from the dust of the ground. Utilizing His own creation, He crafted Adam in His image and likeness—setting man apart as something special. This uniqueness stemmed not from potential but from being created in the image of the One who had recently spoken everything into existence. Post-creation, Yahweh God did not distance Himself. Genesis Chapter 3 recounts Adam and Eve hearing Yahweh God walking in the Garden, evidencing His continued presence among His creation.

However, Genesis Chapter 3 also introduces the heartbreaking sin of Adam and Eve, leading to the separation of Yahweh God from His created image bearers. The unity they once had with their Creator was disrupted, paving the way for sin and death to infiltrate the world. Yet, amidst this, the prevailing theme is Yahweh God's love. Despite casting them out of the garden, He already had a plan for restoration. This plan involved using the seed of a woman to crush the head of the devil.

Throughout the Old Testament, we encounter Yahweh God's declarations, leading to a crucial moment in history. The Word of Yahweh God would be placed inside a virgin named Mary. The Creator of everything chose to dwell within His own creation. As the writer in Hebrews beautifully expresses, 'A body you have prepared for me,' emphasizing that Yahweh God prepared a body for His Unique Son, Yeshua "Jesus". Yahweh God with us—why? To redeem those created in His image. Just as He was the sole creator of Adam, He would also be the sole creator of a New Creation and the sole Redeemer of His created beings born as slaves to sin. This redemption involves restoring His image bearers back to His likeness, as highlighted in 1 John 4:17.

“By this love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because just as that one is, so also are we in this world.”

Yeshua "Jesus", who is Yahweh God in the flesh, embodies the humility and exaltation described in Philippians 2:5–7

“ Think this in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God something to be grasped, but emptied himself
by taking the form of a slave, by becoming in the likeness of people. And being found in appearance like a man”

Romans 8:3 reveals that what the law, weakened by human frailty, could not achieve, Yahweh God accomplished. He sent His own Son, taking on the likeness of sinful flesh and addressing the issue of sin, thereby condemning it in human form.

This condemnation in the flesh led to His enduring a painful and gruesome death, undertaken on our behalf and to bring glory to the Father. He faced public humiliation on a cross, was laid to rest in a tomb, but by the power of the One who spoke everything into existence, just as in the creation, He obeyed and rose with unmatched power! Yeshua, Yahweh God, is the Savior! To those who put their trust in His Name, He brings salvation!"Through Yeshua "Jesus", believers are reconciled back to the Father. The redeemed can confidently proclaim, 'Oh Immanu El, Yahweh God with Us!' His presence is not just with us but lives within His Redeemed children, referred to as the children of Yahweh God. Gratitude is extended to Yahweh God, now our Father, as those in Christ are also in Yahweh God (Colossians 1:12–14). The source of joy, peace, hope, and love resides in this profound reality.

Oh, Immanu El - Yahweh God with us!”
