Suffering

The Via Dolorosa, Latin for 'Way of Suffering', is a collection of streets that Jesus walked on the day of his crucifixion. Over the next four weeks, you will digest the account of Holy Week as it's recorded in each gospel, then the account of the resurrection. We believe that in understanding this text and examining Jesus' Way of Suffering, you will learn to experience beauty in brokenness, too.

Comforted by God

In Genesis 3:15 GW, God directly tells Satan, “I will make you and the woman hostile toward each other. I will make your descendants and her descendant hostile toward each other. He will crush your head, and you will bruise his heel.” This prophetic verse holds God’s powerful plan to restore our severed relationship with Him: Jesus, who defeated the enemy for good by dying on the cross and being raised from death. Because of His sacrifice, we have the power to crush the head of Satan in our own lives. Join me in this seven-day plan as we take an in-depth look at what it means to walk with Jesus in victory, even when our heels are bruised.

Mentoring Lessons- Failures

Most people are of the mindset that surrendering is inherently bad. In fact, there are examples in history where a decision to never surrender ended up having major consequences. After thinking about how this manifests in a Christian's walk, there are three areas that, if we choose to surrender them to God, can help us grow in our journey with Him. Let’s dig in. 

TheLionWithin.Us: How to Cultivate Growth Through Surrender

1 Peter was written to early Christians scattered throughout Asia Minor. Peter called his beloved readers “elect exiles” because they were suffering for their faith and longing for their heavenly home. Desiring to encourage them to live victoriously while trusting the Lord, he identified three living things they had in their sojourning. You also have these things, Christian: a living hope, the living Word, and the living stone–Jesus Christ himself.

The Living Word

Being in prison can be a life-changing experience. For some, who choose to follow the wrong examples, it can set them on the path to become hardened criminals. For others, the time to think over their lives can lead to a desire for change. If you are in prison, or if you have been in the past, this Bible Plan is for you.

Except for These Chains

I know that life has a way of knocking the wind out of you at times, but God sent me to offer you rescue breaths. I pray that you receive them today. Let the Holy Spirit blow a fresh wind into the lungs of your life, the lungs of your marriage and family, the lungs of your business, the lungs of your finances, the lungs of your ministry, the lungs of your dreams, and into the lungs of anything else the enemy has tried to suffocate.
