1 Samuel 12:21

Sometimes life is dark and difficult, leading us to despair. You may wonder, " Why am I here? What’s the point? Why do bad things happen?" When life seems empty and futile, you need to know God understands and has a purpose for you. In this study, you will learn how pain can drive you to make significant changes that can lead to a life full of meaning and hope.

It's easy to allocate one day a year to acknowledge what we're thankful for, but what if we taught our children how to have hearts of gratitude in acknowledgement for all of God's continued faithfulness? This 4-day Thanksgiving devotional teaches parents how to model gratitude for their children, even when life gets hard.

This study will look at God’s original design for community, how he meets us in our loneliness, and how he brings us out of it.

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.
