Luka 12:32

These are unprecedented times for those of us who are alive on planet earth at this moment. Historically, we can find hope if we turn to the One who made it all and is Lord of all. What does the Bible say about why these things happen, what is God’s response to it, and what is my hope in life and death?

In a crowded Christmas season, most of us feel the stress and anxiety of family relationships, financial pressure, hasty decisions, and disappointed expectations. So go ahead. Take a breath. Start this Life.Church Bible Plan and realize the weight we feel may be something God never asked us to carry. How about we let go of the baggage? Let’s travel light.

Emotions—love them or hate them—we’ve all got them. And we’ve all got to figure out what to do with them. But wait. Can we do anything about emotions? Can we learn how to identify, express, experience—and yes, sometimes wrangle—our feelings in order to live a vibrant, healthy life for Jesus? These devotions will equip you with the Biblical perspectives and practical tools you need to thrive.

Die lewe is nie vir sissies nie. Dit is soms baie hard en gevaarlik. Jan de Wet wil jou daarom herinner dat Jesus ons verseker het dat elke mens, en veral sy kinders, vir God baie kosbaar is. Ons moet dus nie bang wees nie, maar op Hom vertrou. Skep dan moed, Christen! God is by ons en sy liefdevolle sorg is ons veilige hawe.
