Иак 1:13-14

Everyone makes mistakes. But most people don’t like to call their mistakes “sins,” even though that’s what they are. In this Plan, we’ll learn what sin is, why we do it, and how we can choose to live differently. We can stand on the hope that no matter what we’ve done in our lives, there is no sin we can commit that God won’t forgive.

Yesus tidak menolak, mengecilkan, ataupun menyepelekan permintaan murid-Nya untuk diajarkan cara berdoa. Yesus juga tidak mengajarkan tentang “apa” yang harus didoakan, melainkan Dia mengajarkan ‘bagaimana’ cara berdoa yang benar. Melalui renungan ini, kita akan belajar bagaimana kita dapat membangun kebiasaan berdoa dengan keyakinan, berani, dan penuh iman.

Change isn’t easy, but it isn’t impossible, either. Starting a few small good habits can change how you see yourself today and transform you into the person you want to be tomorrow. This Life.Church Bible Plan moves through Scripture with a simple acronym for making good daily habits that actually stick.

Suffering can be perplexing. God’s people—and even Jesus himself—have often asked the “Why?” question when facing suffering. Scripture pulls back the curtain to reveal some, though not all, of God’s purposes in permitting suffering to enter our lives. Through it all, we are called to persevere faithfully, resting in the assurance of ultimate victory and eternal reward.
