When God Is Near Listen
We don’t hear God’s audible voice and don’t always ‘feel’ God’s presence. Therefore, it is easy to doubt God’s nearness during times of affliction. How can we genuinely testify to the ‘abundant life’ which Jesus promised while also walking through dark valleys? Consider the nearness of God through the inner gift of His peace. -
The Good Life Listen
How is God's good life for His people different from comfortable materialism that we are often drawn to? If we suffer, does that mean that we are not under His goodness any longer? Join us as we conclude our series on the GOSPEL by looking at God's goodness in Psalm 34. -
Learning To Lament Listen
When we are faced with trying circumstances, it is so easy to complain to God. That is why we need to understand prayers of lament (like Psalm 22). Lamenting gives Christians direction as we offer our raw emotions to God in the midst of suffering. Without learning to pray this way, we won’t know how to process pain while also clinging to faith in the Lord. -
