Markos 13:35-37

It’s easy for us to cross our fingers and hope for the best. But the hope we have in Christ is so much more than that! To have hope means to have a confident expectation. Hope may not come naturally to us, but here’s the deal: to have hope, we must know God. Learn what hope means, why we can have it, and how to live a hope-filled life in this 4-day Bible Plan from Amy Groeschel. 

Advent invites us to journey through the darkness to discover the light, the incarnate Word of God who "shines in the darkness" (John 1:5). This plan focuses upon the weekly themes of Advent—hope, peace, joy, and love—and serves as a guide through each week of the season. It is taken from our book, Dawn, with reflections for every day of Advent available within the Dwell Bible App.

In a year labeled in 2020, we thought it would be great to develop a devotional on how we Focus our eyes on Jesus. We will look at five different times the Bible talks about seeing Jesus and the situation. Join us as we step into revealing, powerful and personal encounters with the Savior.

Although Jesus told us in this world we would find trouble, He also offered us ways to overcome in overwhelming times. He taught His followers what I like to call 5 Steps for Overcomers—look within, look to Him, look ahead, look out, and look up. Looking in each of these directions will help us to overcome our everyday challenges, and help us to encourage others to do the same.
