Hebrews 11:15 සම්බන්ධව නිදහස් කියවීමේ සැලසුම් සහ පූජනීයත්වය

Come back from disappointment and failure and build resilience to go again.

In recent years, partisan politics have divided churches and friends and families like never before. This division suggests that as Christians, our allegiance to the state is sometimes, in practice, stronger than our allegiance to Christ. This week’s devotional brings us back to what it looks like to live out the beautiful, subversive, upside-down “politics” of the Gospel.

Every year, millions of people are forced to flee from their homes. These people end up in horrible situations that require a tremendous amount of strength and courage to face. We want to reflect on what the Bible tells us about refugees. Let this devotional series be a reminder that all of us are, ultimately, on our way home.

As a Christian, you’re part of something bigger. God has a story, and you have a role to play. This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

Waiting is a fundamental part of the human journey, marked by tension between hope and uncertainty. In this devotional, we will walk alongside Abraham, a man who walked through his own long season of waiting to see God’s promises fulfilled. Through his story, we’ll discover what to expect and how to grow as we navigate our own seasons of waiting on God’s promises. And ultimately, we'll see how Jesus himself—the true offspring of Abraham—brings deeper meaning to our waiting, standing as the final fulfillment of God's promises to all who follow in Abraham’s footsteps of faith.

Our journey of faith often begins with fear but transforms into a powerful story of redemption. This devotional explores the profound impact of personal evangelism, drawing from Mark 5 where Jesus instructs a healed man to share his story. We're reminded that each of us has a unique testimony, regardless of our past. Our stories, whether dramatic or subtle, are part of God's larger narrative of salvation. The challenge is clear: we're called not to hoard our spirituality, but to spread it. Like patients healed from a terminal illness, we're entrusted with the life-saving 'antidote' of the Gospel.

Does God exist? This is perhaps the most important question of all. Why? Because what we believe about God shapes what we believe about everything else. This one question builds the foundation of every worldview. Throughout this plan we are going to look at some of the historical, scientific, and philosophical evidence for the existence of God.

Why do we suffer? Does God have a purpose for pain—even the pains of His redeemed people? This 6-day study will consider how God is intimately at work in our suffering, providing Christians with hope in a future where pain and death will be no more.

The Bible tells us that faith is the assurance of things we hope for and the conviction of things we cannot see (Heb. 11:1). But what exactly are we as Christians hoping for?

Impatience is a self-imposed curse. On one hand, it frustrates and forces us to fixate on the future at the expense of the present. On the other hand, it causes us to crave and eventually cave into instant gratification, leading to hasty decisions that do more harm than good. This plan will discuss the importance of patience to help us wait on the Lord and be content with His timing.

Hope is a word we all throw around a lot: hope you get better soon, hope you’re well. At Hope 103.2, it’s said hundreds of times on air every day. Yet what’s contained in this short word is a big deal. When life gets tough and we find ourselves losing our hope - God reminds us that we can put our hope in Him.

The Bible uses the word Christian to describe followers of Jesus a total of three times.

Wrapped in this ancient word is an invitation to discover who God created you to be and awaken to the life you were meant to know.
