It’s a powerful story, and Through the Word guides you with clear explanation and compelling audio in just minutes each day.

As a worship pastor, I have a front row seat to all the beautiful and redemptive qualities of the church. Today it’s pretty vogue for Christians to distance themselves from it in order to be relevant, but the church is God’s design to spread truth and love.

Moments. The fragments of time that make up our days. The economy that's most valuable to us. In a perfect world, we're soaking in every moment. But in reality, urgency can easily become our focus and we lose touch with what’s truly important. Throughout this 5-day study from CCV Music, we look at the key moments of the day and see how God is present in every moment.

God’s desire for us is to see ourselves and others the way the He sees us. “Beloved” isn’t a badge to earn, or a gift to withhold from others. It’s our identity, it’s our name, and it’s the strength we need for the journey. It’s time to own our belovedness. Join Sarah Kroger on a five-day journey of unpacking what it means to truly live as beloved children of God.

Have you ever struggled with your mental health, financial difficulties, or relationships and thought, 'where is God?'

There are some names in the Bible that everyone knows: Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, Mary, Peter, Paul. But the Bible is also full of stories with unnamed characters. People who made a difference not in the spotlight, but in the shadows. We often think they and we are insignificant if the spotlight is not on. But here's the good news: God chooses and uses shadow Christians.

What does your heart need to hear as you wrestle with depression and anxiety? As Sarah Robinson has discovered in her own struggles, you don’t need to do everything right or believe all the Christian clichés to have a peace-filled life in the midst of mental illness.

Freedom from fear doesn’t have anything to do with our personal or global circumstances.

We live under a daily assault of thoughts and ideas–some true and some false. And perhaps the most dangerous ideas we allow to live in our minds are the lies we believe about ourselves.

Use the new hymn ‘The Grace’ to discover how richly God, Father, Son & Holy Spirit transform your life and the life of all believers.
