Sam 34:3

Because attendance typically surges on the Sunday that Christians celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection, Easter weekend represents one of the most rewarding — and challenging — times of the year for church leaders. We created this audio YouVersion Rest Plan to help church staff celebrate all that God did, rest from the work that went into preparing and executing, and reset for the ministry still to come.

In de eerste verzen van hoofdstuk 4 wordt Jezus door de Geest de woestijn in geleid om te vasten. Dan wordt Hij opgezocht door de duivel die op verschillende manieren probeert Hem te verleiden. Je leest hoe Jezus hiermee omging en krijgt daarmee handreikingen hoe jezelf met verleidingen in het leven om kunt gaan.

Life is filled with unexpected journeys, both good and bad. While it’s often easy to see God in the good times, it can be challenging to hold onto hope in the midst of tragedy and impossibilities. Be empowered to believe in the One who does the impossible. When you expect a God encounter in your darkest hour, He will redeem what seems hopeless with supernatural answers!

We may not always see or feel it, but God is always with us... even when we're going through hard things. In this plan, Finding Hope Coordinator Amy LaRue writes from the heart about her own family's struggle with addiction and how God's joy broke through in their darkest times.
