Trust

Suffering is a fundamental part of the Christian faith (2 Timothy 3:12), and your godly response to it grows through encountering God and meditating on His Word. The following verses, when memorized, can encourage you toward a godly response to suffering.

Suffering

Saint Augustine said, "It was pride that changed angels into devils; humility makes men as angels." The theme of these guided audio meditations is pride. Day one is affirming your dignity in Christ. Day two is belief in God's guidance even when you can't see your whole path. And day three is glory - setting aside your selfish pride to give glory reserved for God and him alone.

Pride: Changing Angels Into Devils

So much about our work has changed and will continue to change in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. How should Christ-followers be thinking differently about these changes? That’s the question I invite you to think through with me in this four-day plan.

A Gospel Perspective on Work Post-Pandemic

A 5-day devotional on Exodus 4:1-8 and Moses' objections to God when asked to go back to his people in Egypt.  It explores the trust issues that creep into our lives based on our past experiences and challenges us to overcome them and trust God.

Am I Trusting God?

It's so easy to be distracted, by the world and by our own hearts. God gives us a choice: to turn towards him or turn away from him. Holy Spirit says: "Be full of Me and be strong. Or reject Me and be weak. You can choose." Let this plan encourage you to tune back into that still, small voice that is always - always - calling you Home.

His Love & Our Choice // Tuning Into the Still, Small Voice

All the water in the world will not quench the thirst of our souls. But do you keep trying?! We sure do. This plan helps us tune into the Holy Spirit, who always nudges us back towards what lasts, what ensures, and what satisfies. If you’re thirsty, read along this week and receive God’s invitation to drink deeply with Him.

Quenching Your Thirst // Drinking Deeply With Him

Christians are so used to His goodness and favor that they don’t mind Him not being there as long as He continues to bring the gifts. We’re living in a day when people want God’s blessings without God. They want the rewards without the relationship. But Tony Evans teaches that having a biblical motivation for stewardship is key to carrying out your divine destiny to its fullest.

Finding The Right Motivation

Which is your favorite chair? Do you trust it will hold you? What about other parts of your life?  Where do you place your trust?  These guided audio meditations begin by centering on where we place our hope. Then a meditation on placing confidence in God because of what He has done for you before. Finally, a reflection on faith and discovering the courage you seek is already within you.

Where Do You Place Your Trust?

This plan will help teens realize that God still moves in miraculous ways. We will take a look at the miracles in the Old and New Testament in the Bible and build our faith in God's ability to continue doing miracles today.
