When you hear the message of the resurrection, will you respond with open-hearted faith that leads to transformation? Or will it remain just another interesting idea—something to discuss, but not something that changes your life?
In the midst of whatever storm you are facing, Jesus comes to you. The remedy for your fears is not minimizing your hardship, it is found in looking to God who is greater than your hardship.
True discipleship means both being sent out to serve and coming away with Jesus to be spiritually renewed. In a world full of distraction, Christ meets our deepest need – not just physical provision, but the nourishment of His Word and His presence.
To be a follower of Jesus in times like today is not for the feint of heart. To follow Jesus requires hardship today, but life and joy everlasting.
Anyone who allows their desperation to drive them to the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ, will find that he is willing to heal them. Jesus welcomes the rich and the powerful, the poor and the lowly – everyone who approaches him with humility and the awareness of their need to be saved.
Fear not the wind and waves – Satan and his legion. Instead, fear the Lord, and in fearing Him, find that He is good, loving and stronger than any demonic force in your life.
Since Jesus came, nothing is secret. Christ made explicit everything that was already implicit about God. We don’t have to hope that God is merciful – we look to the cross and see it plain and clear.
Jesus is the one who calls people to himself. If you desire to be Christ’s own, then that is the evidence that you are called by Him. Salvation belongs to the Lord God – it is His work.
Trust the Lord enough to come to Him honestly, exposing your sin with all its shame. Trust that He is the God who restores the humble.
You can observe all of the rules and external things, but if you don’t know Christ you have nothing, for He is Lord over all things.
