Hagar found her hope in a relationship with “the God who sees me.” Knowing that God sees us where we are is exactly what we need to endure until the time of deliverance.

What happens when we let our unmet expectations drive unhealthy emotions? Will we receive the grace God offers to save us?

The surest way to secure a new beginning in your life is to face up to the situations that trip us up. But how will we do that?

Every believer is confronted by a real enemy, the Devil, but we can resist when we stay alert, develop a vital spiritual life, and remember the power of grace.

When we yield to God’s order in the church, and God’s personal care for us, we find a better way to live. Will we trust God’s way?

We ought to be ready and willing to endure hardship for the name of Christ, because it is a privilege to be counted worthy to suffer for Him.

The church is so much more than a gathered group of people – it is a community of individuals gifted and called by God to love and serve those both in and out of the church.

The reason for our hope in this life is that we’ve been made alive for the will of God. And while many around us are spiritually dead, we have a message of life and salvation to share with them.

Baptism will never save us, but it is a powerful proclamation of the gospel to the community. Jesus died for the forgiveness of sins and to destroy the works of the devil.

We have an incredible hope in Jesus Christ, therefore we don’t have to worry or give in to fear in the midst of opposition or struggles. Our lives, lived respectfully, can be disarming to our opponents; but even in suffering, God cares for us. We need to be ready to answer why we are a Christian in ways that are consistent with our character in Christ.
