1 Corintios 4:12

What would our life look life without Jesus? Where would we be? The truth is, all of us came from the same place, from the bottom of a dark hole. God found us when we were helpless and justified us through our faith in Jesus. It's by His grace that we live this life. When we understand this, it allows us to pursue Jesus' character and be humble.

Following Jesus doesn’t exempt us from hard times; it often invites them. Sometimes, the challenges we face are not the result of people’s actions but God’s training in our lives. This three-day devotional, Handling Hard Times, explores how believers can find strength, endurance, and hope in seasons of difficulty. Through Scripture and practical wisdom, you’ll learn how to respond when obedience leads to uncomfortable places, how to stay encouraged when life feels unfair, and how to see trials as God’s tool for growth. Affliction isn’t meant to destroy us but to refine us.

In this 7-day devotional, we will explore some of the most important ways for fathers to mentor their children on the path of life, pointing them toward Jesus and strengthening them into mature and godly adults. Written by Kirk Giles of Forward Church in Cambridge, ON.

What happens when you feel like you’ve done everything right, but things go completely wrong? Kris Darrah and her husband Mike did all they could to raise their four kids in a loving Christian home. But when the grip of mental illness and addiction overtook their oldest daughter, Lexi, Kris soon realized that life doesn’t always go the way we hope and plan. Her story is a testament to the fact that hope can be restored when we lean on our loving and sovereign Savior.
