Don't quit when it gets hard! ๐Ÿ’ช

God does His deepest work in the middle of our struggles. Stay with His process - what He finishes is always worth it! โœจ

Struggling with a tough decision?

The most spiritual thing you can do is ask God for wisdom before anything else. ๐Ÿ’ญ Heโ€™s not stingyโ€”He gives generously to those who seek Him. You do not have to have it all figured out. Just go to the One who does.

Feeling forgotten by God? You're not being ignored - you're being worked on! ๐Ÿ™

That struggle you're facing isn't wasted. God is using it to build something in you that comfort never could. Trust His process, even when you can't see the growth yet. ๐Ÿ’ชโœจ

Struggling to believe God is really for you? Look no further than the cross. โœ๏ธ

He didn't wait for you to get your life togetherโ€”He proved His love when you needed it most. If He gave His son, what won't He give you now? ๐Ÿ™

When God is on your side, opposition doesn't get the final say! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Stop worrying about what people think and remember - if the Creator of heaven and earth is for you, that's all that matters!

God loves the people you struggle to love most ๐Ÿ’”

Some people are hard to forgive.
Hard to care about.
Hard to pray for.

Your spouse. Your coworker. Your neighbor.

And if youโ€™re honestโ€ฆ
youโ€™ve already made up your mind about them.

Jonah did too.
He was wrong.

Are you?

God asked Jonah a question that will wreck you:

Jonah was furious that God forgave Nineveh.
A whole city changedโ€ฆ and he still struggled with it.

But hereโ€™s the mirror moment:
we all wrestle when God is kind to people we donโ€™t like.

mad at mercy or grateful for grace?

Did you know we offer a short, four-day devotional to go along with each Sundayโ€™s teaching?

These devotionals are designed to help you stay connected to Godโ€™s Word all week long.

Research shows that:

Life gets busy, and itโ€™s easy to lose hold of what God is speaking.

But thereโ€™s nothing like consistently hearing Godโ€™s voice and understanding His Word for your life.

Thatโ€™s why weโ€™ve created these devotionalsโ€”to help you ๐˜€๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ป, ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—›๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ช๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜.

Sometimes our issue isnโ€™t with peopleโ€”itโ€™s with Godโ€™s mercy toward them.

Jonah ran from God, resisted the calling, and STILLโ€ฆ God used him to change a city.

That means this: Your willingness matters more than your perfection.

Your voice might be exactly what someone needs today.
