Finding Hope in Uncertain Times

Every Easter we go to church, take communion, hear the songs and sermons. But are we living out the new life God intended for us? In his new devotional series, Pastor Jim Cymbala reminds us that Christianity is a new creation. It's Jesus living inside us by His Spirit, filling us with victory, joy, and peace. This Easter don't stay in the same old routine. Let Jesus make everything new.

The best way we can change our thinking is through engaging God’s Word. His Word teaches us His ways and His wisdom. As you read through the New Testament, we encourage you to answer these three questions: 1) What is my key verse? 2) What did I discover about Jesus and His kingdom? and 3) What is the Holy Spirit teaching me?

Heaven (Part 2)

Arrested in that garden, Jesus endured two sham trials and the most unjust verdict in all history. The Creator of the cosmos, crucified by His creatures on a hill outside Jerusalem. From that awful site, Christ would speak His “last seven words.”

You’ll find reflections on each of these seven words in the following pages. As you read these devotional articles, we pray that you’ll ponder their significance and gain encouragement from the promise of the hope that blooms eternally.
