A Lenten Sermon Series at Madeira-Silverwood Presbyterian Church This Lent, we’ll be exploring a simple but challenging question: What if our households are not just private spaces to manage, but mission stations God uses to bring His love into the world? In our Lenten series, Beacons of God’s Love , we’ll reflect on how faith takes shape in ordinary life—at home, at work, and in our neighborhoods. Rather than treating discipleship as something that happens only at church, th

The weeks around the holidays often leave many of us feeling hurried, noisy, and relentlessly full. Our calendars fill up, our attention becomes fractured, and our spirits struggle to catch up. Jesus, however, models a diff

One of the most important spiritual disciplines for growing in your faith is a daily time of prayer and reflection on God's word. Jesus modeled this for us in his regular practice of rising early, going to be by himself, and praying (Mark 1:35). Jesus tells his disciples to "abide in me." The best way we can do this is by committing to the practice of daily time with God. Madeira-Silverwood offers both Our Daily Bread and The Upper Room. Both of these are simple magazine st
