Depression

Are you feeling weighed down by sin, shame and guilt? Do you feel as though you keep making the same mistakes and poor choices? Well, follow along with this five-day bible plan to learn about the freedom that you can receive through Jesus Christ! “Take a moment right now and make the trade. Let Jesus turn your mourning into dancing” (The Beautiful Exchange – Elisha Jurgensen)

Freedom in Christ

God will test you in the area most important to you. The test is to reveal whether you value Him or the things He can do for you the most. How do you handle it when you don’t get the answer to your prayers that you wanted? This devotional will develop having an “even if” relationship with God.

Even If: When God Says No

No one is perfect! How can we manage our mistakes, failures and breakdowns? The bible is full of people who failed, yet most of them are used by God. From their failures we can learn that God will lead us into a life of victory.

Extended Victory

Jesus, I Need You Part 4

Have you ever wanted to be fully loved and accepted? God SO LOVED the world that he gave us His son. He SO LOVES us that he has given us the freedom to pursue and love others. Join in on the life-giving love Jesus offers us!

So Loved

The Bible says we are all called to be disciples. How do we live in the fullness of that calling without the calamities around us leading us to despair? How do we stay hopeful in a world filled with so much hurt?
 
This reading plan will take you into the heart of Jesus's biggest calamity – the night He spent in the Garden of Gethsemane. The goal is to learn from Jesus how to wrestle through the calamities of life whilst remaining faithful to our calling.
 




Between Calamity & Calling

Often we condemn ourselves for pain in our past or present. We feel guilty for not getting over it more quickly. We assume someone else would have handled it better. But trauma will remain empowered to hurt us as long as we deny its existence. The truth is, you aren’t failing at healing. You’re finding healing. God is a God of restoration. And this is just the beginning.
