We often struggle setting boundaries for our emotional health. We might perceive them as too mean, too aggressive, or not living like Jesus. Yet Jesus practiced boundaries in his time on Earth. In this 3-Day Bible Plan, we’ll explore what loving boundaries look like through the lens of Jesus, so we can set loving boundaries as well.

The Boundaries Of Jesus

“Joy is the settled assurance that God is in control of all the details of my life, the quiet confidence that ultimately everything is going to be alright, and the determined choice to praise God in every situation.” (Rick Warren) As you read these devotions, may you be encouraged that even if things in your life aren’t lining up as you’d like, you can still experience true Joy!

Real Hope: JOY

Are you constantly chasing more? Does true peace always seem like one more click, purchase, new friend, or new house away? How do we break free from the pursuit of more? Holy Spirit has something to teach us about the things that last (hint: it’s not always more). Read along and see what it is in this seven-day plan.

Chasing More // but What About Less?

Have you ever wondered if there’s anyone who cares when you’re going through this thing called life? Do you ever doubt God’s existence or His goodness? In this 5-day devotional you will be reminded that not only does God care desperately about you but that God is our Sustainer, God is intentional in His care for you, and God is always good. 

Dew in the Morning

Has your joy disappeared like water from a dry well? Your bucket scrapes the bottom but all you bring up is dust. Joy is a gift from God. It’s not something you can earn or manufacture, and you don’t have to fake happiness to be a “good” Christian. Discover the joy of receiving joy, even as you hope for the fullness of joy to come.

Defiant Joy

The glorious event of the birth of Jesus teaches many lessons beyond the traditional tales of Christmas. This devotional takes a closer look at some of the events surrounding that holy moment and discusses how we can leverage the opportunities from the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ beyond the seasonal celebrations and into our everyday living.  


Jesus Joy:  Jesus At The Centre

We’ll focus on the simplicity the Christian life is meant to be marked by. Jesus summed up our purpose with two statements: love God and love people. 

Love God

It’s easy to rejoice when life is going well, but what about when it’s hard? First Thessalonians 5:16 says to “rejoice always,” but what does that mean? Over the next five days, Denise Renner covers numerous reasons we have to rejoice, how to choose joy, and the effects joy has on our lives. Once you obey God’s command to “rejoice always,” its transformative effects manifest in your life!



Rejoice Always!

Since God is love, you need to know what love is. Love is the most powerful force that exists, and you need to know how God describes it. Over the next 5 days, you will learn how God describes love. Love NEVER fails. God NEVER fails.
