We’re called to be Disciples making disciples and that means following in the footsteps of Jesus. But what if we’re not sure how Jesus would handle certain situations? We just have to turn to His word to find out how to go through these circumstances with the love and grace of God.
Sharing and revisiting our stories of how Jesus is at work in our lives draws us closer to Him each time we connect with others through our testimony of redemption. These stories have the power to lead someone else to experience the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
When we talk about a Fresh Start, we're inviting you to fully embrace God's purpose and plan for your life. It’s about diving wholeheartedly into what He has in store, living fully for His glory and name. This isn’t just hitting the reset button—it's a call to go all in for Jesus, giving every part of your life to Him.
Sanctification might sound like a big, theological word, but at its heart, it simply means being made holy or set apart. As believers, we're called to navigate the challenges of life by growing in holiness each day. The beautiful part is that we don’t do this alone—it’s through the strength of Christ that we’re able to be sanctified daily, overcoming and enduring whatever comes our way.
When you truly see Jesus for who He is, everything about you—your worldview, goals, and affections—transforms completely. Even more, your sins are no longer a burden; you're washed clean because He has changed everything.
Hearing God's voice may sometimes feel challenging, but it's not impossible. Though it might seem complicated, it's often simpler than we think. God promises that His sheep will hear His voice, and He is always faithful to speak to those who are listening. So take heart, lean in, and trust that He is ready to be heard.
Have you ever brought something home from the store, only to set the instructions aside because you thought you knew how to put it together? Imagine if we did that with God's instructions for our lives. When we follow the guidance He's given us, we open ourselves to the blessings and abundance He promises.
As believers, we are not to be swayed by the changing tides of this world. Our hope is anchored in the unchanging nature of God and His eternal promises. And because they are solid and secure, we can offer hope to others by encouraging them. We can live boldly and courageously, shining the light of Christ in every corner of our lives so others will see the hope we have in Jesus.
As believers, when frustration weighs us down, we are invited to turn to the Lord, who tenderly listens to our cares and concerns. In moments of struggle, we can find comfort and peace by casting our burdens on Him, trusting that His grace and strength will sustain us. Remember, His love is a steady anchor in the frustrations of life.
Prayer is simply communicating with God, yet we often make it more complicated than it needs to be. Let's be honest—most of us could use a boost in our prayer life. If we took it a bit more seriously, we’d find that when we pray, we draw closer to God.
