God commands to honor mothers repeatedly throughout His Word to highlight how important and respected mothers are in His plan. Mothers play a vital, God-given role in our faith and our church.
Facing change and uncertainty can feel overwhelming or uncomfortable, and our human nature wants us to believe it's not necessary and that we should stay where we are. But there is great value in self-reflection and inward change. We must become aware of our inward selves and open the door to real growth. It's not easy, but it is one of the most important and rewarding things we can do.

Is our faith high enough that we trust God no matter what the situation? Do we live in the, “but if not” moment? Would we give in if tested as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were in their faith in God?

Why do we fast on the Day of Atonement? This day represents a celebration and is directly linked to the Passover we commemorate during the Spring Holy Days.

Satan is busy working to take our eye off the future goal we all look forward to. Satan wants to keep us from being there. We are told to go anyway and go with joy.

We are to share food, fellowship, and faith in the place he chooses.
