A HOPE THAT HOLDS

A HOPE THAT HOLDS

HOW ARE YOU DOING? ...HOLDING TO HOPE There are seasons in life when these three commands feel impossible. How do you rejoice when you're still waiting? How do you remain patient when the pain seems unending? How do you keep praying when heaven feels silent? SONG: DeWayne Woods; Let Go

Joy is a Requirement

When do you lose your Joy? Nehemiah 8:10 reminds us that we should have joy. That there are moments when we don't have to grieve but rather let the emotion be to celebrate and have joy. Get your joy back, it is our strength. Song: The Joy of the Lord is my Strength by Douglas Miller

A God Who Keeps His Word

Song: Already Here by Brian Courtney Wilson A God Who Keeps His Word 2 Samuel 7:27-29 "For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, 'I will build you a house'; therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you." (v. 27) There are moments in life when prayer feels difficult. The weight of disappointment, unanswered questions, and uncertain circumstances can leave us wondering whether God is still listening. Yet in this passage, David teaches us something profound: the courage to pray is often born from the promises of God. David is not praying from a place of wishful thinking. He is praying because God has spoken. God had made a promise concerning David's future, and that promise gave David confidence to come before the Lord. David understood that prayer is not convincing God to do something God has not already desired to do. Prayer is responding to what God has already revealed.

Through IT ALL

Prayer Faithful God, thank you for your steadfast love that never ceases and your mercies that never come to an end. Thank you for sustaining me through every season of my life. When I am tempted to focus on what is missing, remind me of all the ways you have carried me. Help me to greet each day with confidence, knowing that your mercy is new every morning and your faithfulness never fails. Amen.

GO Anyway

Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20 "When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted." — Matthew 28:17 One of the most comforting verses in all of Scripture is tucked into the middle of the Great Commission. Matthew tells us that when the disciples saw the resurrected Jesus, they worshiped Him—but some doubted. Let me read this again…But some doubted. What would you do differently today if you believed that God's presence was more important than having all the answers?
