Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.” Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.

Join Red Rocks Worship as they look through some of the scripture that inspired the song ”Nobody Like You”, from the new album, HERE. There is truth of God's sovereignty and love for us found in scripture. As we read together, we are asking God to reveal himself by speaking these truths over us. - Kory Miller
Life breaks us all so says Earnest Hemingway, but many are made stronger at the broken places. We will journey together through things in life that can break us and what God does in our brokenness to strengthen us and to bring beauty and joy out of our broken places. We will see what James tells us is the reality of trials, the response we are to have and the result of our response to those trials.
Seasons are a great example that the one constant in life is change. The question is, are you ready for the change if it is time? It seems when life reveals the need for change, the spiritual side of us also has opportunity. Join Dave in discovering that while our souls last forever, we still have opportunity to grow and become more like the One who made us.
