Did you know there is a difference between happiness and joy? Happiness is based on your circumstances and what is happening around you, but the Bible tells us that joy comes from the Lord! We can be joyful even in the hard times when God fills us with His joy! What are some ways you express joy? What do these verses say about being joyful?

“ Waiting”- I don’t know about you, but I become irate when I must wait. It’s at this time I realize just how low my patience level is. As children of God, it sometimes becomes even more frustrating when we must wait for something we have been praying for because God the Father has tremendous patience and it’s a characteristic he wants each of us to develop. Waiting can be our friend, or it can be our foe, it can be positive or negative, it can be joyous, or it can be full of sorrow; ultimately the choice is yours.

This five day plan walks the believer on God's proven pathway to courage in the shadow of giants.  Courage doesn't happen in a moment.  It is shaped by God and demonstrated in the crisis.

Hillsong Church founder Brian Houston’s “there is more” message is not about selfishness or greed. It’s not even about satisfaction and self-fulfillment. It’s about calling—God’s amazing plans for your life and the sufficiency of His grace in superseding your wildest dreams, all for a purpose bigger than you are!

Feeling burned out, weary, worn to the bone? These are signs something isn't quite right, especially if you've been feeling this way for awhile. Are you shouldering the right burdens? Are you chasing the right goals, leaning in to the right relationships? Through this plan, invite God to show you the work he's designed for you and ask Him to relieve you of the weights you weren't designed to carry.

Before you begin a new routine, why not hit the pause button to reflect on your walk with God? This five-day video plan includes short video segments (2-3 minutes) to help you head back to work or school.   

Being in a season of waiting  can feel overwhelming and purposeless. However, because of Gods love we can find bravery, courage and hope  in the midst of it all. You can discover that the wait has a divine purpose. When you lay it all down and surrender, you learn that you are braver than what you once thought you were.

Examine the book of James in three parts: the test of faith, the characteristics of faith, and the triumph of faith. Faith without works cannot be called faith. Faith without works is dead, and a dead faith is worse than no faith at all. Faith must be there, but it must be more. It must inspire action. Throughout his epistle to Jewish believers, James integrates true faith and everyday practical experience by stressing that true faith must manifest itself in works of faith. 

God wants His children to be thankful.  This is an evidence of an intimate, abiding relationship with Jesus Christ.  If you are having difficulty in giving thanks, perhaps we can help your perspective and give you a process to find what your heart is seeking.

Living in the 21st century as a Christian is hard. So was it for the Jewish believers some 2000 years ago. That’s why James, the half-brother of Jesus, wrote a letter to encourage the believers then to press on in their trials. There's much to learn and take heart from his letter, because the very same lessons still apply today.

We expect trees, grass, animals and babies to grow. When they don’t, we know something is wrong. What is true in the natural realm is also true in the spiritual realm. Believers are expected to grow, and when they don’t, something is wrong. In this five-day reading plan, Dr. Tony Evans will introduce you to the process of spiritual growth.

The book of James is beloved for how practical it is in our lives and work. In each day of this five-day plan, you’ll read a chapter of James as well as a short devotional that will focus on a few key verses that are particularly relevant to busy Christian professionals.

Have you ever felt stuck, timid, or even a little wimpy when it comes to trusting God when life gets difficult? Well, that’s natural, my friend. But it’s not for you. Instead, God beckons us to live courageously for Him, filled with His joy. We need bravery to possess immovable faith for experiencing joy in badness. The how and what it looks like are what this plan is all about.

Don’t waste the trials in your life. Soften your heart and pull close to Him knowing that greater intimacy is available and that He is fighting for you.

John Wesley, an English cleric and theologian who founded the Methodist Church in the early 1700s, once wrote “Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.”

Faith is the trade secret of the Kingdom and its currency while 'massive' is defined as exceptionally large. When coupled mutually, massive faith suggests exercising the trade secret and currency like never before. It's like trying to love again after heartbreak, learning a new skill after losing a job, or starting the business without capital (powered by purpose and drive).
