You’re Not All That!
When we stop seeing ourselves as the center of the story, we create space for God to work through others and experience the joy of serving together for His purposes.
The Path of Letting Go
Jesus’ invitation to follow Him is also an invitation to surrender.
Living with an Eternal Perspective
It’s natural to make plans for the future, but our plans are limited by what we can see and control.
Seeking Peace with God
When we stop relying on ourselves and place our trust in God's grace, we are reconciled to Him and filled with a hope that endures even through suffering.
What Then Shall We Say?
After unfolding the incredible truths of salvation, grace, adoption, and hope in Christ, Paul arrives at a simple but powerful question: “What then shall we say to these things?”
Context Matters
Romans 8:28 is one of the most quoted verses in Scripture, yet its full meaning becomes even richer when we consider its context.
Salvation Belongs to You
Scripture reminds us that salvation is not something we achieve through our efforts; it is a gift made possible through Jesus Christ.
Who Has the Legal Authority?
Because Jesus was without sin, death had no rightful claim on Him, yet He willingly gave His life for us.
Peace in the Process
When life feels overwhelming, it’s natural to long for peace and relief from suffering.
Hope Against Hope
When we face life's challenges, we can hold firmly to the truth that nothing is impossible for God and that our ultimate hope is secured through Jesus.
Unashamed of the Gospel
Just as Abraham trusted God's promises despite impossible circumstances, we are invited to place our full faith in Christ and His gospel.
What’s Your Elevator Pitch?
As followers of Jesus, we are called to reflect His servant-hearted example and build relationships that point others to Him.
Married to the Mission, Flexible in the Method
Paul was deeply committed to the mission Jesus gave him: sharing the gospel and leading people from darkness into God's light. Yet while his mission never changed, his methods often did.
Faithful Through Every High and Low
Serving Jesus does not guarantee an easy path, but it does lead to a life of purpose and joy.
The Power of Encouragement and Obedience
Like Barnabas, we are called to encourage others, remain faithful, and put our faith into action so that more people can experience the transforming love of Christ.
The Foundation of Church Growth
Do we live in awe of how great our God is? And do we experience the comfort and presence of the Holy Spirit in our relationship with God?
When God Turns Opposition Into Opportunity
Life in a fallen world often brings hardship, uncertainty, and seasons of suffering. Yet the story of the early church reminds us that God is always at work, even in the darkest moments.
Finding Joy Beyond Jealousy
When you are feeling jealous of someone, step back and ask the Lord what you are fearful or angry about.
Can People Tell You’ve Been with Jesus?
Spend time with Jesus daily, allow Him to shape your words, attitudes, and actions so that your life becomes a visible testimony to His power and grace.
A Devotion That Shows
By going where God leads, teaching truth, praying for healing, seeing people with compassion, and speaking words of life, Christians can grow to resemble Christ more closely.
