Sometimes you just need a Gospel refresh, meaning sometimes you just need to bask in the Gospel message for yourself. There is no greater affirming and refreshing message to tell yourself, to remind yourself, that Jesus has died for your sins and made you a new creation. Life is hard, life is tiring and life...
Have you ever worked through a hard thing and discovered you were the better for it? Maybe it was a disagreement with a co-worker or friend, a rigorous academic class at school, or even a season of time with your job. Sometimes the call of God can be like that. We sense His draw or...
Many of you are likely planning or have planned a summer vacation already. An important part of that plan is the selection of a destination, and there are a countless number from which one might choose.
