Hope

We are all leaders. Leaders in our homes, leaders in our families, leaders in our workplace, leaders in ministry and leaders in our community. This study will look at Christian Leadership in our families, in business, in ministry, in decision-making and in following. Our hope is that through these devotions you’ll be refined and encouraged as a leader in your life.

Christian Leadership

Discover the inspiring stories of those who faced seemingly insurmountable challenges with unwavering faith. From the shepherd boy David who faced Goliath, to the prophet Elijah who confronted the false prophets of Baal, to the Israelites who left and then returned to their homeland. See how God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things and how faith in Him can give us the courage to overcome any obstacle.

How to Be Courageous in Your Faith

Does your past haunt you with guilt and a broken spirit? Is your life like a broken record—one in which your past is replayed over and over again? In this final message we will learn how the records of our past lives can break us and bring us to our knees. The beauty of this is that Christ had a broken record as well.  In fact, He was broken to save and heal our brokenness. 

A Broken Record

What if the burden on your heart is actually an invitation from God?
In this 5-day journey through the first chapters of Nehemiah, you’ll explore how prayer, vision, and courage can rebuild what’s been broken. Prepare for a time for just you, God, and His Word. One chapter a day. Read, reflect, and respond as you draw closer to Him daily.

Journey Through Nehemiah

You can feel lonely by yourself or in the biggest crowd, surrounded by people and still feel lonely. It is a feeling that doesn’t discriminate and can come upon us at a moment’s notice. But how do we cope with it? Can we see God in these moments? This plan aims to help us consider our response to loneliness and how we can seek God in these moments. 

Real Hope: Loneliness

Welcome to Lent, a season of anticipation and preparation. We invite you to spend the weeks leading Easter tuning in to the heart of Jesus and considering His way, values, and principles in the world. When we sit at Jesus’ feet as students, hope for what is to come and what’s possible blossoms. May this Lenten season bloom hope afresh in your heart.

Lent: A Journey to Hope in Uncertain Times

The Bible repeatedly uses words and imagery that describe God caring for his people like a mother. These images are both a comfort and an inspiration as we mother our own children. This 3 day series, presented by Words of Hope, celebrates God's fierce and tender love, and our own motherhood too. 

Like a Mother

Do you learn more effectively by hearing, feeling, or doing? I pray these meditations will help you reflect on how to come to know the love of God actively. Knowing God by vigorously giving and living as Christ gave and lived. Not only noticing the needs of others but energetically giving and loving. Living your life listening to God and playing an active role in being His chosen.

Active Listening
