Do you struggle to approach Jesus because of shame from your past? In the synoptic gospels (Mathew, Mark, and Luke), we see this story of Jairus... On the way to Jairus' house, where Jesus raises his daughter back to life, we have another story sandwiched inside this broader narrative.
Are you tempted to throw up your hands when you read the Book of Revelation? To many everyday Christians, Revelation feels overwhelming, confusing, and like a work of fiction.
If you feel the pressure of life and the weight of following Christ, soak your mind in John’s words in Revelation. Guard against complacency and resolve to stand firm.
God’s people can always trust that he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and great in faithful love. Regardless of how undeserving we feel, God's love and compassion are steadfast. He meets us where we are, not with condemnation but with kindness.
Do you ever get angry with God when he doesn’t act as you’d like? This is the story of Job 29-37.
