The Worship

Through Paul, Moses, and Gideon, discover why your limitations do not automatically cancel God's assignment and how to faithfully pursue purpose and wholeness within the life you have today.

John the Baptist knew who he was, who he was not, and what God had called him to do. When asked, “What do you say about yourself?” he answered with what God had already spoken through Scripture.

Jesus first asked His disciples what others were saying about Him. Then He made the question personal: “But who do you say that I am?” There is a difference between knowing what others believe about Jesus and knowing Him for yourself.

There is a thirst no relationship, achievement, possession, or experience can fully satisfy.

In a world competing constantly for our attention, God invites us to turn our focus back to Him.

My daughter was recently reading the book of Jonah, and we discussed it during our evening devotion.

There is a freedom that comes when the love and goodness of God become more real to us than our fears. Many believers want to love God more. We want to trust Him more deeply, obey Him more consistently, and walk with Him more faithfully. But sometimes, in our desire to love Him well, we begin in the wrong place. We try to produce love. We try to originate devotion. We try to prove that we are worthy of His goodness. But the Christian life does not begin with what we give to G
