Yet God did not meet His weary servant with condemnation. He met him with rest, nourishment, patient care, and His gentle presence.In this message from our 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 series, discover the striking contrast between the fire on Mount Carmel and the gentle whisper in the wilderness. Be reminded that God is present not only in dramatic miracles, but also in the quiet moments when He restores our strength, corrects what discouragement has led us to believe, and gently directs us toward what comes next.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

The prophets of Baal called out to a god who could not hear or answer. Then Elijah repaired the Lord’s altar, prayed with confidence, and God responded in a way no one could ignore.This encounter is more than a dramatic moment in Israel’s history. It confronts us with what may be competing for the trust, security, and satisfaction that belong to God alone. In this message from our 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 series, witness the silence of false gods and the unmistakable power of the living God, and discover why true renewal begins with repentance, restored worship, and a heart fully surrendered to Him.Watch this sermon and be encouraged to identify the idols that cannot satisfy, return wholeheartedly to the God who hears, and rediscover the freedom of giving Him every part of your life.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #WhenFaithMeetsFire #SoliDeoGloria

Can we still trust that He is present when life no longer makes sense?The widow of Zarephath had seen God sustain her household through a miracle, yet she suddenly found herself facing unimaginable grief. Her questions were painful and honest. Elijah, however, responded by bringing what seemed hopeless before the Lord. Could the God who provided food during a famine also demonstrate His authority over death itself?In this message from our 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 series, explore what this remarkable encounter reveals about God’s sovereignty over creation, life, and every circumstance beyond our control. Discover how Elijah’s actions point beyond themselves toward Jesus Christ and the greater hope of the Gospel.Watch this sermon and be encouraged to study God’s Word deeply, bring your hardest questions honestly before Him, and trust that even in sorrow and uncertainty, His purposes remain secure and His power to bring life and spiritual restoration has no equal.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #WhenFaithMeetsFire #SoliDeoGloria

At the Kerith Ravine, Elijah had to obey without seeing the whole plan, depend on God one day at a time, and receive His provision in unexpected ways. And when the brook eventually dried up, was God absent, or was He preparing Elijah for what came next?In this first message of our 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 series, discover what Elijah's journey can teach us about trusting God when circumstances change, familiar sources run dry, and the next step is not yet clear. Watch this sermon and be encouraged to trust that God's faithfulness does not depend on what we can see, and His provision is never limited by our circumstances.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #BetterTogether #SoliDeoGloria

They are built through honest words spoken with love, conflicts resolved before resentment takes root, forgiveness freely offered, and kindness chosen even when we would rather prove ourselves right.In this final message of our 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 series, discover how the grace of Jesus can transform the way we communicate, handle disagreements, and care for one another.

Marriages, friendships, and families become steadfast when they share a spiritual foundation rooted in obedience to Christ.Every relationship is under construction.

Genesis 3 takes us to the moment everything changed, revealing how sin entered through a subtle distortion of God's truth and replaced trust in His goodness with the desire to live life on our own terms.Yet the story does not end with human failure. Even in the aftermath of rebellion, God is the One who seeks the lost, offering the hope that ultimately finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Through His grace, what sin shattered can be restored.Watch this message and discover how the Bible's story of brokenness ultimately points to God's greater story of redemption.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Back to the Beginning: Work, Rest, and RhythmGenesis 2:1–15 | Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntAre you constantly busy but still feel like you're falling behind?From the very beginning, God designed life with a rhythm that many of us have forgotten. Work was never meant to consume us, and rest was never meant to be something we "earn." Both are gifts from God, created for our good.In this message, discover how God's original design for work and rest can transform the way you live, serve, and find lasting peace. Most importantly, see how Jesus invites us into the true rest our souls have been longing for.Watch the sermon today, and rediscover the life-giving rhythm God created for you.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Back to the Beginning: Created on PurposeGenesis 1:26-31 | Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntWho are you, really?In this message, Pastor Mark Hunt reminds us that our identity is not found in achievements, status, or the approval of others. It is found in the God who created us.Genesis reveals that every person is made in God's image, with inherent dignity, value, and purpose. We do not have to earn our worth because we have already been created on purpose by a loving Creator.Watch, be encouraged, and rediscover the identity and purpose God has given you.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Love Speaks Best Through Actions1 John 3:18 | Sermon by Israel RosasLove is more than words. It is demonstrated through action.In this message, Israel Rosas reminds us that genuine faith is expressed through compassion, generosity, forgiveness, and service to others.

Sermon Replay | Encountering Jesus: The GrievingMary & Martha | John 11:1–44Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntWhat do we do when God seems late? In one of the most moving encounters in the Gospels, Jesus meets Mary and Martha in the midst of deep grief after the death of their brother Lazarus. Their story reminds us that faith does not eliminate sorrow, and that God welcomes our questions, tears, and disappointments. Yet even in the darkest moments, Jesus reveals Himself as the Resurrection and the Life, bringing hope where all hope seems lost.If you are walking through grief, uncertainty, or waiting for God to act, this message offers a powerful reminder that Jesus is present, compassionate, and sovereign even when we cannot yet see what He is doing.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | When the Spirit Crosses BordersActs 2:1–21Sermon by Sadoc ChongoWhat if the Holy Spirit’s power was never meant to stay within walls, cultures, or comfort zones? This Pentecost Sunday, Sadoc Chongo reminded us that the birth of the Church was marked not by uniformity, but by God bringing people together through His Spirit across languages, nations, and backgrounds.Acts 2 reveals a God who fills ordinary people with extraordinary purpose, calling them to boldly carry hope, grace, and the gospel beyond borders. As we reflected on the Chongo family’s upcoming mission to serve refugees in Glasgow, Scotland, we were challenged to ask ourselves: where might God be calling us to step out in faith, depend more deeply on His Spirit, and become part of His work in the world today?#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Encountering Jesus: The BrokenThe Man Born Blind, John 9:1–41Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntWhat if the very places in our lives that feel broken are the places where Jesus wants to bring healing, clarity, and transformation? In John 9, Jesus meets a man born blind and reminds us that suffering is not always something to explain away, but often an opportunity for God’s work to be revealed in us.This message is a powerful invitation to stop searching only for answers and begin seeking a deeper relationship with Christ even in the middle of pain, questions, and uncertainty. Watch this week’s sermon replay and discover how an encounter with Jesus can open our eyes to true hope, grace, and new life.⁠⁠#UnionChurchofGuatemala⁠ ⁠⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠⁠#UCGFamily⁠ ⁠⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠⁠#SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Encountering Jesus: The OutsiderJohn 4:1–26Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this week’s message from our Encountering Jesus series, we explore the powerful encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. While society saw her as an outsider, Jesus saw her with compassion, grace, and purpose.Through this conversation, Jesus reveals that no one is beyond His love and that being fully known by God does not lead to rejection, but to healing, freedom, and transformation. What began as a simple conversation about water became an invitation to receive the living water only Christ can give, reminding us that He meets us right in the middle of our questions, struggles, shame, and brokenness with grace, hope, and new life.⁠#UnionChurchofGuatemala ⁠#UCG ⁠#UCGFamily ⁠#InternationalChurch ⁠#SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Encountering Jesus - The Skeptic: NicodemusJohn 3:1–17Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntWhat happens when sincere faith still leaves you searching?

Yet Jesus invites him beyond knowledge and tradition into something far greater: a true spiritual rebirth.⁠#UnionChurchofGuatemala ⁠#UCG ⁠#UCGFamily ⁠#InternationalChurch ⁠#SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | The King Who Restores the FailureJohn 21:1–19Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this powerful message from Pastor Mark Hunt at Union Church of Guatemala, we reflect on how Jesus restores Peter after his denial, meeting him not with shame but with grace right in the middle of his ordinary life. As Jesus asks Peter three times, “Do you love me?”, He is not reopening wounds but healing them, addressing the root of his failure and restoring his purpose. This sermon reminds us that grace is personal and transformative, and that failure does not disqualify us. Instead, it can become the very place where Jesus meets us, restores what is broken, and calls us forward into renewed purpose.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | The King Who Doesn’t Shame the DoubterJohn 20:24–29Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntNot everyone arrives at faith with certainty, and in this passage we meet Thomas in his honest doubt. What we see is a different kind of King. Jesus does not distance Himself or rebuke him. He moves closer, meeting Thomas right where he is. This reminds us that doubt is not the opposite of faith, but often part of the journey toward deeper trust.Jesus invites us, just as He did Thomas, to take the next step, even if it feels small. Faith grows over time, shaped not by having all the answers, but by responding to His presence. Wherever you find yourself today, certain or questioning, confident or unsure, Jesus meets you there and invites you into a relationship marked by grace, patience, and surrendered trust.Watch the full sermon and be encouraged in your walk of faith.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria 🇬🇹

Sermon Replay | The King Who Doesn’t Stay DeadMatthew 28:1–10Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntWhat if the story didn’t end where it seemed final?This past Sunday, Pastor Mark Hunt led us through the powerful truth of the resurrection, reminding us that Jesus is the King who does not stay in the grave. In a world where so many things feel final, God steps in and rewrites the ending with life, hope, and restoration.Through the story of the women at the tomb, we are reminded that faith and fear can exist together. You do not need perfect certainty to encounter the living Christ. He meets us right where we are.And the resurrection is not only something to believe. It is something to share. The hope we receive becomes the hope we carry to others. Easter declares this with clarity and power: death does not have the final word. God does.Watch the full sermon and be reminded that hope is alive.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | The King Who Doesn’t Crush His EnemiesMatthew 21:1–11, Zechariah 9:9Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntOn Palm Sunday, Pastor Mark Hunt invited us to slow down and reflect on the kind of King Jesus reveals Himself to be. He comes not with force, but in humility. Not to dominate, but to draw near.While the crowds longed for a ruler who would overcome their enemies, Jesus came to address something deeper within the human heart. He does not crush. He moves closer, meeting us with compassion, truth, and the invitation to be made new.As we consider His way, we are gently invited to follow. To release the need to control, and to choose humility, grace, and love even when it is not easy.In His kingdom, transformation unfolds quietly through surrender, through trust, and through the steady, redeeming power of love.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | For Yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the Glory ForeverMatthew 6:9-13, 1 Chronicles 29:11Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntAs we close our nine-week journey through the Lord’s Prayer, we are reminded that our security is not found in what we can control, but in who God is.Through the lives of King David and Nebuchadnezzar, Pastor Mark points us to a deeper truth: human control is an illusion, but God’s kingdom, power, and glory are eternal.True peace begins when we surrender to His authority and anchor our lives in His unchanging kingdom.Live today with confidence and hope, trusting the One who reigns forever.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Lead Us Not Into Temptation but Deliver Us from EvilMatthew 6:13Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntThis Sunday, Pastor Mark Hunt reflected on the final petition of the Lord’s Prayer and reminded us that temptation often does not appear obviously evil. More often, it presents itself as what seems practical, efficient, or even successful. Yet Jesus teaches us to pray for God’s protection because our strength alone is not enough.Through examples such as Jesus in the wilderness and Joseph in Egypt, we are reminded that victory over temptation comes not through sheer willpower but through dependence on the Father. In a world full of subtle shortcuts and compromises, Pastor Mark encouraged us to remain spiritually vigilant through daily surrender to God, seeking His wisdom, staying rooted in Christian community, and feeding our hearts with the truth of Scripture.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Forgive Us Our Sins as We Forgive Those Who Sin Against UsMatthew 6:12, 14–15Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntForgiveness is at the heart of the Lord’s Prayer. When we ask God to forgive our sins, Jesus reminds us that we are also called to forgive those who have sinned against us.Unforgiveness can quietly become a prison for the heart. But through Christ, we are invited into the freedom that comes from releasing resentment and extending the grace we ourselves have received.True forgiveness is not weakness. It is a powerful reflection of the mercy of God at work in us.May we walk into this week with humble hearts, ready to receive God’s mercy and willing to share that same mercy with others.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Give us This Day our Daily Bread Matthew 6:11 Sermon by Paul GarrettThis Sunday, Paul Garrett reminded us that daily bread is more than provision for the body. It is an invitation to daily trust.We do not live on yesterday’s grace. We come to the Father again and again, trusting Him as our source and carrying one another’s needs as our own.May we walk into this week with open hands and confident hearts, knowing His mercies are new every morning.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be DoneMatthew 6:10Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this message from our Teach Us to Pray series, we explore what it truly means to pray, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done.” This petition invites more than agreement. It calls for surrender.Jesus shows that seeking God’s kingdom requires recalibrating our plans and releasing control, as He did in Gethsemane. Through the examples of William Wilberforce and Zacchaeus, we see that God’s kingdom values justice, humility, and integrity over status. Prayer, then, reshapes how we live. As we pursue the Father’s will in everyday life, we discover that surrender leads to true strength and spiritual freedom.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Hallowed Be Your NameMatthew 6:9, Exodus 20:7Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this message from our "Teach Us to Pray" series, we consider the first request of the Lord’s Prayer and its meaning for everyday faith. To “hallow” God’s name is to honor and set Him apart above every personal desire, recognizing His holiness in both word and life.Prayer, then, becomes more than words. It becomes a way of living that honors God privately and publicly as we represent Him to the world.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | In HeavenMatthew 6:9–13Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this message from our Teach Us to Pray series, we reflect on the opening words of the Lord’s Prayer and what it means to approach God as Our Father in heaven.

Sermon Replay | What Is the ChurchEphesians 2:19–22Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this message shared before our Annual Congregational Meeting, we reflect on the true identity of the Church. Scripture reminds us that the Church is not defined by a building, a legal structure, or a meeting place, but by the people of God, united in Christ and built together on Him as the cornerstone.This sermon calls us to see ourselves not as spectators or guests, but as family members who belong, participate, and take shared responsibility for the life and mission of the Church. Commitment, faithfulness, and generosity are framed as expressions of ownership and love for the community God has entrusted to us.As we listen, we are invited to move deeper into unity, purpose, and active engagement, living as God’s household for His glory and the good of our local community.#SermonReplay #UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCGFamily #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Our FatherMatthew 6:9–13Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn this message from our Teach Us to Pray series, we reflect on the opening words of the Lord’s Prayer and the meaning of addressing God as Our Father. Jesus invites us to approach prayer not from a place of performance or achievement, but from a stance of belonging. Prayer flows from adoption into God’s family, shaping our identity and grounding us in trust rather than anxiety or control.Take time to listen, reflect, and allow this message to reshape how you pray and how you live.#UnionChurchofGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#SermonReplay⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | Teach Us to PrayMatthew 6:5–9In this message, we begin a new series centered on the Lord’s Prayer and Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount. Rather than offering a script to repeat, Jesus invites us into a way of praying that is sincere, trusting, and deeply relational.Take time to listen, reflect, and allow this teaching to reshape how you pray and how you relate to God. #UnionChurchofGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#SermonReplay⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay | ResolvedSermon by Pastor Mark HuntAs we step into 2026, this message invites us to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention. Drawing from different parts of Scripture, we are reminded to live with gratitude, trust God deeply, rest in Him and listen for His voice rather than leaning on our own understanding.True resolution is found not in willpower, but in anchoring our lives in God’s guidance and grace.Watch the replay and begin the year resolved in God.#UnionChurchofGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#SermonReplay⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria ⁠

Sermon ReplayLet Every Heart Prepare Him RoomLove Moves InMatthew 2 verses 1 to 12In this sermon, Matthew Lofland reflects on the journey of the Magi and reminds us that God draws people to Himself by grace, not by personal effort or wisdom.Encountering Jesus changes our direction. Just as the wise men returned home by a different way, meeting Christ invites us to walk in obedience and trust rather than fear.This message calls us to begin a new season rooted not in self improvement, but in our union with Christ, where true identity and purpose are found.Watch the full sermon and be encouraged.#UnionChurchofGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#SermonReplay⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria

Sermon ReplayLet Every Heart Prepare Him RoomLove Moves InMatthew 1:18–25Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntIn the final week of Advent, we reflect on Emmanuel, God with us. Through Joseph’s story, this sermon reminds us that God often shows up through disruption, not perfection. Faithful obedience looks like small courageous steps, choosing trust even when the path is unclear. As we release our timelines and honestly name our struggles, we make room for a love that does not stay distant but moves into the middle of our real lives. ⁠#UnionChurchofGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#SermonReplay⁠ ⁠#AdventSeason⁠ ⁠#PrepareHimRoom⁠ ⁠#FaithtoCarryIt⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria⁠

Sermon ReplayLet Every Heart Prepare Him Room The Faith to Carry ItLuke 1:26 to 38Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntFaith often begins quietly, before anything is visible. In this Advent message, we reflect on Mary’s courageous yes and what it means to carry a promise that feels bigger than ourselves. From ordinary moments to world changing callings, God invites us to trust Him with what He has placed in our care, believing He will sustain what He has conceived.Watch and be encouraged to say yes with faith, patience, and hope.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #AdventSeason #PrepareHimRoom #FaithtoCarryIt #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay"Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room – Clear the Way"Mark 1:1-8Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntAdvent is more than the countdown to Christmas. It is a sacred season of hopeful waiting and intentional preparation. In this message, we move from Advent’s longing to its call to prepare, clearing space in our hearts for Christ to come in fresh and transforming ways.Drawing from the opening verses of Mark, Pastor Mark reminds us of John the Baptist’s urgent invitation to “prepare the way of the Lord” through repentance and renewal. As we continue through this season, we are encouraged to slow down and ask three honest questions:What needs to be removedWhat needs to be surrenderedWhat needs to be welcomedMay this week be a time of clearing the way so every heart can prepare Him room.#UnionChurchofGuatemala #UCG #SermonReplay #AdventSeason #PrepareHimRoom #ClearTheWay #InternationalChurch #SoliDeoGloria

Sermon Replay"Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room – When Hope Feels Far"(Isaiah 64:1-9)Sermon by Pastor Mark HuntThis message invites us to rediscover Advent as a season of deep longing and expectant hope. Drawing from the lament of Isaiah 64, we are reminded that true faith often sounds like an exhausted cry, offering honest prayer when hope feels distant. #UnionChurchGuatemala #UCG #UCGFamily #SundaySermon #SoliDeoGloria #InternationalChurch #Guatemala🇬🇹

Sermon Replay“Gratitude as a Way of Life” (1 Thessalonians 5:12 to 28)True gratitude is more than a season. It is a daily posture that trains our hearts to see God at work in every circumstance. In this message, we reflect on the biblical call to rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all things. Gratitude becomes our way of life when we remember His faithfulness in the past, recognize His presence in the present, and trust His promises for the future.#UnionChurchGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#UCGFamily⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria⁠ ⁠#SundaySermon⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#Guatemala🇬🇹

Monday Sermon ReplayThe Redeemer’s RewardRuth 4:1–22This week’s message takes us into the closing chapter of Ruth, where Boaz redeems Ruth and Naomi at the city gate. His act of redemption is about more than property as it restores family, hope, and legacy. From this union comes Obed, the grandfather of King David, reminding us that God often works through the unexpected to carry out His purposes.The sermon connects Ruth’s story to the coming of Christ, showing how redemption turns pain and brokenness into beauty and meaning. Much like the art of kintsugi, where cracked pottery is mended with gold, God weaves our scars into His greater story of salvation.Take time to revisit this powerful reminder that in Christ, every broken piece can be made whole.#UnionChurchGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#UCGFamily⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria⁠ ⁠#SundaySermon⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#Guatemala🇬🇹

Monday Sermon ReplayFaithfulness in the FieldRuth 2:1–23Even in the ordinary routines of life, God is at work in ways we often cannot see. This week’s message invites us into Ruth’s journey of gleaning in Boaz’s field, a simple act of obedience that became the doorway to extraordinary favor and provision.Through Ruth’s story, we are reminded that faithfulness and integrity in the everyday can open doors to God’s unseen blessings, touch the lives of others, and reflect His radical generosity. Just as Ruth encountered her guardian redeemer, we too are called to trust in God’s providence and rest in His care, even when our own efforts seem small.Take time to listen and be encouraged. Your daily faithfulness matters more than you know.⁠#UnionChurchGuatemala⁠ ⁠#UCG⁠ ⁠#UCGFamily⁠ ⁠#SoliDeoGloria⁠ ⁠#SundaySermon⁠ ⁠#InternationalChurch⁠ ⁠#Guatemala🇬🇹
