‘Tis the season to be jolly, but also very busy.  Come away for a few moments of rest and worship that will sustain you throughout the merry labors of the season.

My 10-year-old daughter recently created a beautiful journal to honor me on Mother’s Day. I loved all her poems and sweet words, but one line in particular stood out to me: “Mom, I pretend nothing with you.” That was one of the best compliments I could ever receive. In her own words, she was saying that she trusted me enough to be open and vulnerable with me. It dawned on me that God wants this from us, too. He wants us to trust Him completely and hide nothing from Him. In this five-day study, we’ll examine five questions God asks to help us find true intimacy with Him. I pray that by answering them, you’ll be able to say, “Jesus, I pretend nothing with you.”

God loves you! God reveals the nature of his love for you in forgiveness, discipline, protection, provision, grace, mercy and liberation.

Do you ever feel that Mark skipped a crucial part of Jesus’s story? Without telling of Jesus’s miraculous birth, can we still see the reality that God became a person? The answer is yes.

This video plan looks at some of Jesus' most famous miracles and helps you think about what these miracles mean for you.

When a crisis happens in our world, it’s easy to question our faith, and it’s hard to replace the panic we face with the peace we’re promised as Jesus-followers.
