Arise: Consider Him


Listen Later

Do you ever feel tired and empty, going through the motions but not really connecting? Are you waiting on God and not seeing his goodness?

Pastor Barbie’s teaching resonates with people who find it hard to stay motivated and those who feel like they are just going through the motions of their faith. Maybe there are some days, you don’t want to be open or take a step forward. Sometimes, you can’t see God’s goodness in your life.

Instead of pretending or hiding, think about Jesus. Pay attention to what he has done instead of what distracts or pulls you down. You're surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses and a family by your side, ready to pray, support, and walk with you during tough times.
