"Do Hard Things"

August 5, 2024 • Zach Kordic • 2 Thessalonians 3:10–12

Are you comfortable in your faith? Are you allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you into uncharted waters? In this week's devotional, Zach discusses why going out of our way to do hard things is critical to our walk as Christians. You are loved!

"Afraid of the Light"

August 26, 2024 • Heath Gray • Matthew 5:14–16, Psalm 27:1, 1 John 1:5–7

We live in a very loud world. Yet as Christians, we spend most of the time hiding in plain sight. We are fearful, afraid to hurt feelings, and distracted. The Bible is full of examples of, our relationship to and the gift that is, the light of Christ. We are to be the light, shine the light, walk in the light, and share the light. Why are we afraid of the Light?

"If Not Now, When?"

August 19, 2024 • Brandon Bowen • Romans 8:12–15, Psalm 119:57

Ever see something broken around your home and think, "I need to fix that," then do nothing about it? Yet we know that if we just stopped and fixed it, ultimately we'd be glad that we got it taken care of. In this devotional, Brandon talks about how we sometimes do the same thing when the Holy Spirit prompts us to do something. When we listen and respond to the prompting and conviction of the Holy Spirit when it happens, rather than procrastinating, we get the opportunity to experience healing, joy, and correction.

"Holy Rest"

August 12, 2024 • Kenny Koetter • Exodus 20:8–11, Matthew 5:17, Mark 3:27

God has a plan for your soul. Are you in tune with that plan? In this devotional, Kenny discusses the importance of the fourth commandment, "Remember the Sabbath Day." Humans are bent towards chasing our own earthly desires, but finding rest in God and His Word allows us to recenter ourselves around God's plans rather than our own. Will you intentionally seek rest in Him?
