Matthew 26:14-16, 45-46

Betrayal is devastating. It produces a feeling of worthlessness for trusting an untrustworthy person. We respond to betrayal in anger. We seek to get even or make our betrayers suffer for how they've wronged us. In this plan we'll look at what the Bible teaches on how we should respond to betrayals with the prayer to be victorious over your own abandonment or violation of trust and eventually move on. 

It’s easy to be discouraged by conflict, economic instability, the food crisis and many other devastating events in our world. In the death and resurrection of Jesus, we find God’s answer that quiets our fears and reassures our doubts. We have a ‘living hope’ in Jesus Christ. Join us as we explore God’s answer of hope to us and our world through the good news of Easter.

Have you ever felt like quitting on the church? So has Natalie Runion, worship leader, songwriter, and teacher. But as Natalie reminds us in this week’s devotional, it’s possible to question behaviors and beliefs we have seen in the church, in religious organizations, and in Christians without quitting Jesus or divorcing the family of God. Jesus is right there with us, in the midst of our wandering and our wondering.
