When I Am Afraid, I Put My Trust in You
David found peace not in his own strength, but in trusting God.
Broken Vessels, God’s Treasure
Many of us have been taught to present our best selves to God and others, but the gospel was never dependent on our perfection.
Imitating Christ for the Sake of Others
We learn by watching others, and the apostle Paul challenged believers to follow his example as he followed Christ.
Wouldn’t You Rather Be on the Winning Side?
If we aren’t careful, we might discover that what we are revealing through our boasting is that we have adopted more of the world’s values than those of the kingdom of God.
What Do You Want to Be Known For?
What is it that you wish everyone knew about you? I suppose most would prefer to live a simple life and avoid being known in some grand way.
Fighting Battles Through Prayer
As followers of Christ, we sometimes forget how important prayer is in accomplishing the missions God has given us.
Which Side Are You On?
If Jesus had sought only to take care of or please Himself, He would not have laid down His life for our sake.
Cling to What is Good
We often cling tightly to possessions, memories, and things that bring us comfort, but Paul challenges us to hold fast to something far greater.
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.
