Romans 12:10-12

When a crisis happens in our world, it’s easy to question our faith, and it’s hard to replace the panic we face with the peace we’re promised as Jesus-followers. In this 5-day Bible Plan accompanying Pastor Craig Groeschel’s series, Not Afraid, we’ll discover three things we can do as Christians in the face of a crisis.

These are unprecedented times for those of us who are alive on planet earth at this moment. Historically, we can find hope if we turn to the One who made it all and is Lord of all. What does the Bible say about why these things happen, what is God’s response to it, and what is my hope in life and death?

Learn how best to pray, both from the prayers of the faithful and from the words of Jesus Himself. Find encouragement to keep taking your requests to God every day, with persistence and patience. Explore examples of empty, self righteous prayers, balanced against the pure prayers of those with clean hearts. Pray constantly.

Način, kako se vedemo s prijatelji, pričuje o Božji ljubezni. Ljubiti svoje prijatelje, nositi bremena drug drugega, soočati se s konflikti in deliti skupno življenje, kaže na Božjo ljubezen, zvestobo Njegovemu ljudstvu. Na enak način, če naša prijateljstva zaznamujejo konflikti, nesoglasja, prepiri, ogovarjanje in nezaupanje, smo negativna priča evangelija. Ko naša prijateljstva izgledajo, kot prijateljstva tega sveta, s tem uničujemo svoje pričevanje za Kristusa.
