Word Covenant Fellowship

As we enter the week of Thanksgiving, the pace of life often seems to accelerate. Between preparing meals, hosting family, traveling, and tying up loose ends before the holiday weekend, our schedules can become crowded and our minds overloaded. Yet Scripture continually calls us to slow down, to “be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). In the middle of all the noise, God invites us to pause and reflect—because gratitude grows best in a quiet, attentive heart. Thanksg

This past Sunday night reminded us once again of the joy and strength we find in Christian fellowship. As we gathered, shared stories, and enjoyed one another’s company, there was a sweetness in the room that only the Holy Spirit can cultivate. Scripture reminds us that the early church “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers”  (Acts 2:42, ESV). What we experienced was more than casual conversation—it was a gl

As Psalm 100:4

As November arrives, the clocks turn back an hour, marking the end of daylight saving time. For many, this change can feel unsettling—our routines are disrupted, the evenings grow darker sooner, and the days seem shorter. Yet, as Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” Even this shift in time serves as a reminder that God is sovereign over all seasons of life—both the literal and the spiritual. The change invi

As believers, we are called to live not in isolation but in fellowship with one another. The early church gives us a beautiful example of this in Acts 2:42–47 , where we read, “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers... And all who believed were together and had all things in common.” This passage paints a picture of unity, love, and mutual care—a community centered around Christ and His Word. The early be
