100 years later… the question is still waiting.
Tomorrow morning.
Here, Now, with God

Peter reminds me that having faith does not require the absence of failure, but simply the courage to move towards Jesus again.

Come near to God and he will come near to you. James 4:8 (NIV)

The original church is at the bottom of the Mississippi River.

Every previous single structure this congregation has ever occupied — gone.

And yet here we are. Still gathering. Still worshipping. Still serving this community after 215 years.

This Wednesday morning, join me for a new Here, Now, with God reflection called “Still Standing” — and discover what it actually is that survives when everything else gets swept away.

🕊️ Wednesday morning. Right here.

These blooms are already praising. 🌼
Come join them—worship begins at 10:30.

Hear me as I pray, O LORD. Be merciful and answer me! My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, “LORD, I am coming.”
Psalm 27:7 NLT

Where do I need to reach for the beating heart of God’s love in a place of question or uncertainty today?

Did you take five minutes this week?

In Here, Now, with God, we invited you into a simple moment of solitude with Zechariah 2:13.

I’d love to hear—what did you notice? Please comment below.

“You don’t have to do this perfectly. Just take a little time, the way you can, and meet God there.”

What a beautiful prayer. Talk to God with it.

Jesus, be with me. Show me what it means to long for more of your life in my own personal experience. To whatever measure I have known your love, I ask for more today.

Tomorrow morning on Here, Now, with God.

I want to talk about something most of us don’t do very well. Silence. Stillness. Stopping the noise long enough to actually be present.

I’ll tell you how five minutes accidentally turned into two hours — and what I learned about the wrong kind of hurry that’s been costing us more than we realize.

Short. Honest. Worth your Wednesday morning. ☕
