Psalms 47:1-2, 4-5

Who is God? He is described as everything from a distant Deity to a kindly Creator but how does He describe Himself? The theme of these guided audio meditations is coming to know the nature and character of God. The Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come. Knowing God as your eternal King; as a just and right judge; and the God who knows you.

Did you know there is a difference between happiness and joy? Happiness is based on your circumstances and what is happening around you, but the Bible tells us that joy comes from the Lord! We can be joyful even in the hard times when God fills us with His joy! What are some ways you express joy? What do these verses say about being joyful?

Shepherd, Prince of Peace, King of Kings, Emmanuel, Light of the World… Jesus is called all these names, but what do they really mean? Each name shows us a different aspect of the heart of Jesus, and how it all leads back to the love He has for us. Come be encouraged this Christmas season as together we draw closer to who Jesus is.

This five-day reading plan is based on Matthew West’s book, The God Who Stays: Life Looks Different with Him by Your Side. God is right by your side—and nothing can separate you from His love and grace.
