Through the Eyes of Hope - 7 Days of Hope

You Make a Difference: Terrific Teachers

You and I do not have to look far to notice that the driving force of today's society is the pursuit of happiness. However, as followers of Jesus, Scripture clearly states that pursuing happiness should not be our ultimate aim. In this reading plan, we will examine how to shift our focus from what culture defines as happiness to a Biblical definition of joy.

Cultivating a Heart of Joy

Immediately in the first chapter of the Bible, we read how God created light. And further on in the Bible, light is often used as a metaphor for God’s domain as opposed to the domain of sin and death. Jesus even calls Himself “the Light of the world”. Light and darkness thus have an important place in the Bible. This reading plan presents a selection of verses about this topic.

Light and Darkness

When you've experienced pain of any kind, it can feel easier not to dream than to be disappointed, or not to hope than to be left heartbroken. Thankfully, the Bible paints a different picture—one that gives you the courage to hold on to joy regardless of your circumstances.
