Hope

Where do you start when you know that God could’ve but He didn’t? This 5-day devotional anchored in God’s Word will help you find strength in the midst of crushingly difficult times.


When God Could’ve but He Didn’t

Exclusion can be wounding. This was not a foreign concept to the audience of 1 Peter. As followers of Jesus, this book reshapes our understanding of what it means to live from the overflow of hope in Christ as we live as exiled people in an increasingly hostile society. 


Exiles: A Study in 1 Peter

 This study from Isaiah 40-55 explores our identity as people affected by trauma but living in hope. In the exile, God’s nation had to find new life when their old life had been completely overturned and destroyed. Similarly, we now find ourselves trying to “return to normal” in the aftermath of a global pandemic. Yet, God can take any crisis and convert it for his glory and our growth.


Crisis Converted

In a world that’s constantly shouting at us, sometimes it’s easy to forget to make space to listen, to listen to what is happening around you, to listen to what others are saying, to listen to the wind and the silence, or to listen to what God is saying. As you go through this week’s readings, our prayer is that you’ll start to explore what it means to listen well. 


Real Hope: The Art of Listening

Waiting for test results from the doctor. Hearing your company is about to downsize. Getting a call from your child’s school. What makes the difference in how we respond to uncertain or challenging circumstances? I believe that finding peace is more than “thinking positively” that everything will work out. True peace and contentment comes from focusing our thoughts on the fact that no matter what, God is with us—and his truth never changes.

How Joyful People Think

Promises! Who doesn't want certainty. We CAN depend on God! It has been said there are around 1600 promises in the Old and New Testaments. The following verses can help you draw near to the Lord and rest. God's word has promises you want in your heart regarding dating, anger, hope, money, trust, suffering and even sex. Stop relying on empty promises people make. Lean on God's promises.
