In Exodus 15, we read how the Israelites, wandering in the desert, found only bitter water to drink. But when God instructed Moses to throw a tree branch into the water, it miraculously became sweet and drinkable. This powerful moment reveals how God can transform the bitterness in our own lives into something good.

Today, Pastor Jack Morris explores how God’s grace, healing, and provision are always available to turn our struggles into blessings. Join us as we discover how trusting in Him can bring renewal and sweetness where there was once bitterness.

Majestic Anger

Anger is something we all experience, but too often, it is directed at the wrong things or expressed in the wrong way. Yet, in Scripture, we see that even God gets angry—not out of selfishness or impatience, but because His love for us is so great that He grieves when we stray from what is best. Ephesians 4:26 reminds us, “In your anger do not sin.” Today, Pastor Jack Morris explores the difference between righteous and unrighteous anger, helping us understand how to handle our emotions in a way that honors God and leads to peace.
