Sycamore Hill Church - Hockessin Campus

What's at work in us that ends up producing the actions that come from us?

There are things to come that we ought not give too much of our attention, while on the other hand there are things to come that will truly test us.

May the Lord give us a humble heart to question the very things we adhere to.

What hope do we have faced with the immovable inevitability of death? For those willing to admit their need for Him, Jesus has already rolled the stone away.

Jesus was spared nothing in His suffering so that we might have a full salvation. He even endured being forsaken by God so that we might never be...

Though Jesus was mocked and rejected, He is ready to accept all who would call upon His name.

May our prayers be ones of boldness and vulnerability, so that when our time of testing comes, others will see that we have been with Jesus.

A true disciple loves the Lord openly and sacrificially, even if their actions are misunderstood or criticized. 

Jesus reveals how all we are rightfully belongs to God, and to love Him with all that we have is the essence of discipleship.   

Jesus is our ultimate authority. When will we let go of our claims to the throne?

The fruit we bear is not merely a measure of our faith, but rather an outworking of our satisfaction in Christ, the object of our faith.

How do we know if we're approaching Jesus in the right way? Can we filter through the noise to dial into what He is truly offering us?

We must be willing to tear down facades we create to see what God is building and what he asks us to be a part of. 

Whether it be expectations, prejudgments of others, or something we've worked so hard to achieve, we are often called to let them go to wholeheartedly follow Jesus.

God has made provision for our hard hearts, but we grow in our faith when we stop asking what's allowed and start pursuing His good design.

We must be willing to be salted by fire, allowing Jesus to preserve us, purify us, and wholly transform us.

Are we prepared to see Jesus for who He has revealed Himself to be? We cannot afford to hold on to an incomplete version of Him.

The way we understand who Jesus is affects our ability to have our lives molded by His.

The Lord is sovereign over all our circumstances, working His lovingkindness into our lives and through us to the world.

When we are far off, there is a Redeemer to rescue us.

When we observe our lives through God's eyes, we can see the ways that he is at work and we can say "Everything is going to be okay."

In milestone-heavy seasons, we need to be all the more spiritually awake so that we cross them well.

When faced with the hardships of this life, Jesus is the one we can cling to, and He is the one who will take us back home.

Increased distance from the Lord is never a solution for the difficulties we face.

A spirit-filled church is not the same as a collective of spirit-filled individuals.

We must be willing to accept that God will allow disruption in our lives to refine us with His Spirit.

Ministry tasks can take on many forms, including things anyone could do, things you are gifted to do, and things you must do. All of them work together for the common good of the church.

When we walk with the Spirit, we can see an outflow of His power through the fruits we bear and the gifts we share.

In the midst of difficulty, can we receive the good through the groaning? Can we walk with the Spirit who advocates for us in perfect alignment with God's will?

How do we KNOW we have received the Spirit? And if we have indeed received Him, why is our spiritual experience seemingly limited?

Christianity is not merely accepting the gift of Jesus' righteousness, but also walking in the Spirit.

Sometimes, ensuring our spiritual house is in order is worth the small discomfort of testing it, lest we be caught asleep.

Compromising our faith is not an option in God's Kingdom.

Let us strive to maintain the faithfulness shown by these churches whom Jesus commends.

Jesus calls the first church to remember and return to their first love. 

When reading Revelation, we are best served looking for Jesus, and what we find needn't be reduced to abstract imagery.

God uses the ordinary to accomplish the extraordinary. He entrusts His Kingdom to us, the church.

God is faithful in the big and small things, and we maintain our peace best when our priorities are aligned with his.

Forgiveness is offered to us as a gift. But at what cost? And who can receive such a gift? Only when we understand the answers to these questions can we truly appreciate what is being given.

Despite our sin, and even because of it, God pours out His love for us.

Does Jesus have permission to allow the storms in our life so that we might recognize our own smallness? And isn't it His intervention in the storm that reveals His vast care for us?

The vastness of the universe is made small in God's hands, and yet He was and is overlooked by so many. With childlike faith, we can appreciate Him for who He is.

The package is not fit to hold the treasure within, and yet we have been chosen for His purpose.

Why might our faith not be working itself out in our lives as it ought?

In the New Covenant, the veil has been lifted, and we can freely access all that God offers by His Spirit.

The glory of the new covenant far outweighs the glimmer of the old.
