In May, we entered the new era of the church. However, then as now, believers do not live free from challenges, pain, and heartbreak, whether we bring it on ourselves or even when it is beyond our control. Yet, even in the midst of these difficult circumstances, God provides. This month, we will come to experience how God continually enters into our struggles, administers to us and supplies for our needs.

June 7: Perhaps like the disciples, our joy is misplaced in what we accomplish or experience. Yet, we will see that God provides true joy in misunderstanding, when we allow Him to redirect us.

June 14: This sermon takes us to the time of the Jewish people rebuilding Jerusalem after exile. When they receive and understand God’s commands, holy days, and provision, God provides strength in desolation. His joy, not their circumstances, becomes an enduring source of strength.

June 21: Jesus Christ has opened a new and living way into God’s presence through His sacrifice, as our faithful High Priest. We can draw near with confident faith, knowing that God provides hope in discouragement, through past faithfulness and present encouragement embedded in our community of faith as we await His promised return.

June 28: Living as strangers in this world, Jeremiah reminds us that as we patiently endure, living as a blessing, and trusting in His faithful promises, God provides peace in displacement and guides us toward our promised and hoped for future filled with His peace.

June midweek: Through the unchanging cornerstone of Jesus Christ, God provides security in instability anchored in Christ’s gospel, love, grace, authority, and promises.

God is working in our lives! May this truth guide us through this month.
