Encouragement

Life is full of dilemmas, but we have a God in heaven who is waiting for us to ask for help. This reading plan by Pastor Mark Jeske offers comforting and encouraging words from the Bible for your everyday struggles.

I'm Struggling, Lord

Above The Clouds is a devotional intended for those whose life is going well right now. While we celebrate our victories on the mountain top we can lose sight of our neighbors in the valley.  I pray this devotional encourages you to refocus your eyes, even when life is good, so that we may continue to love people the way Jesus does—even if that means coming down from above the clouds.

Above The Clouds

Jesus left the church the vision of a movement when he challenged us to reproduce from our own Jerusalem into “Judea, Samaria and the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8). For us to see a movement, we need every Christ follower to adopt Jesus' personal mission to “seek and save the lost.” (Luke 19:10). Evangelism is core to the mission of Jesus and essential to accomplishing his vision.

This plan is part of a 5-week journey on the topic of Gospel X - Multiplying the gospel.

Holy Spirit says: "Walk in my light, child. I am with you." This plan reminds us that God is always present, always kind, and always shining His light on us. He calls us to himself and to a life fully awake in Him. So read along this week and be encouraged to receive the good gifts of your Good Father.

Nothing Separates Us // Fully Awake in Him

Being a sports official is loud. Crowd noise, players and coaches working to get their point across and coordinators needing answers.  In the game, the noise can be suffocating but we are trained to block out the noise.  Off the court we experience loneliness, emptiness, and exhaustion. GO, GO, GO.  Jesus is calling us to keep our eyes focused on him when the crowd noise gets too loud. 


Eliminating The Noise

Are you struggling to find your identity? Are you looking for someone or something to define who you are? Often, we put our identity in things of the world that are not from God. You may have many questions, like “Who am I?” “How should I view myself?” In this plan, we will dive into the topic of Identity and how we can point our identity to Christ.


Identity in Christ

As moms, we drive ourselves crazy striving for perfection. We try to prepare the healthiest meals, install the safest car seats, plan the best birthdays, yet we lie awake at night wondering if we’re doing enough. The pressures are overwhelming. God selected you to parent your child. You can survive the diaper years because you are more than enough in Christ. Cheers to the grace and goodness found in him!

Cheers To The Diaper Years
