Like Joshua and the Israelites, we who were slaves brought treasure out of our slavery. The question is: are we going to use that wealth for God’s glory and thrive in the wilderness? Or are we going to fashion an idol out of it and worship what once held us captive? This heavy-duty stand-alone plan is also part 2 of a 10 part series.

None of us are immune to the burdens and pains of this life. And when we experience them, we just want to know we’re not alone. In this 7-day plan, we invite you to see the God who is with us in loss and disappointment and who says to us, “Take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

We have all been through moments of loneliness, anxiety, and sorrow. Many of the people in the Bible have been as well. Their stories should inspire us to look for answers in the Scriptures.
