Open Arms Community Church

Sometimes the strongest prayer is not a long speech, it is simply, “God, I trust You.”

Lessons I’ve learned here lately; when the future feels uncertain, when answers feel delayed, and when life does not make sense, faith chooses to rest in the character of God rather than the clarity of circumstances.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)

Today, breathe deeply. Release what you cannot control. God is still leading, still providing, and still working behind the scenes for your good!

Words have the power to either heal a heart or wound one. Choose to speak life into people.
Notice their strengths. Encourage their growth. Reflect the kindness of Christ in the way you see others.

“Encourage one another and build each other up.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11)

In a world quick to criticize, be someone who reminds others of their value, their gifts, and the goodness God placed within them!
If you need encouragement then drop us a message. Thank you for helping us continue sharing God’s peace and hope on our page.

Loving the Church doesn’t mean pretending people are perfect. It means recognizing that Jesus still chooses to move through imperfect people to reveal His perfect heart.

If we are pursuing Jesus, our hearts will naturally move toward what He loves.
And Scripture makes it clear: Jesus loves His Church.
The Church has never been about flawless people. It’s about people being transformed by the presence of God together.
Through community, healing, grace, encouragement, and truth, God continues to work in and through His people every single day.

You may have experienced hurt, disappointment, or frustration with church before. And that pain is real. But don’t let imperfect people keep you from the presence of a perfect Savior who still calls the Church His Body!

I apologize for the bad echo in the live recording today. It should be right next week. Craig brought an awesome message this week. The Holy Spirit was moving. One of those messages Satan doesn't want people to hear.

What’s the best advice your mom or mother figure ever gave you?

Maybe it was practical. Maybe it was funny. Maybe it pointed you back to Jesus when you needed it most.

Share the advice in the comments, then bring someone with you tomorrow as we celebrate Mother’s Day at Open Arms Community Church
