God wants us to continually pursue Him, continually surrender to Him, and continually offer genuine praise to Him. So, at different times, He allows each one of us to face impossible situations for the express purpose of doing nothing other than standing firm in our measure of faith and declaring “the battle is the Lord’s.”

Today we will look at a difficult passage of scripture and see how the writer of Hebrews is actually encouraging people who are going through challenging times.

Life can be exhausting approached with our own efforts only. Today, we will look at the problem – our conditions as well as the remedy – grace.

Jesus freed us from the process of law service to connect with God. Because of our connection with Jesus, we are connected with God.

Jesus Christ restores the freedom we first enjoyed at the dawn of creation. The debt of sin is paid, and we are free from shame, guilt, and punishment.

What did Christ say? His words are the words that give us life and direct our steps. From Matthew 24.

Faith is such a challenging thing. Because we are human, doubts creep into our minds. But with God, that’s OK. God knows we’ll all struggle with doubts. Today we will see how God wants us to deal with those doubts.

When God’s love is in our hearts, we can deal patiently with others. Love also guides us to handle anger constructively.

Matthew Arnold opens services with thoughts on biblical joy using the story of Hannah.

Envy poisons relationships and damages hearts. It robs us of thanksgiving and distracts us from loving God. The apostle Paul reminds us of a better way. (1 Cor 13:4)
