Many of us face loneliness in our faith that we aren’t prepared for. In order to stay strong in life's lonely battles, we must have personal faith. Jeffrey Rachmat, Senior Pastor of Jakarta Praise Community Church, explores the importance of our personal walk with Christ when we face struggles alone.

A pilgrimage is not only a physical journey to a destination, but it is also a spiritual journey towards God's kingdom and His presence. Psalm 84 speaks of the pilgrimage to the temple of God. Paul Molyneux invites us to see in this passage how God is working through the valleys and hard times on our way to come closer to Him.

Sometimes God's calling doesn't make sense or it isn't how we expected. Jesus called His disciples on a journey to an unknown and foreign area; but even when the storms rose, He was the peace and calm in their midst. Danielle Strickland explores the last passage in Mark 4 and how we can orient our ways to follow Jesus and trust in His plan.

What is the book of Revelation? Mike gives us the context and summary of the who, what, how and why of Revelation and explores how even through spiritual trials, Christ remains victorious.

Although in our daily lives limitation can bring us down, God can use all things, even our weakness, to bring glory to the Kingdom. Ken Lee speaks on the story of Gideon and how God used less in the eyes of Israel to bring more prospering and glory to His people.

How do we live counter culturally? In Titus, Paul calls us to a life of grace in a culture where it was not valued. Paul Molyneux explores how and why we should show grace as God first showed grace to us.

Does the church only care about money? What is the tithe and why was it required by God in the Old Testament and do we still need to do it today? These are some questions Mike talks about as he looks at 1 Timothy 5 and unpacks the concept of giving tithe and people working for the church.

Life doesn't always go as planned and for the Apostle Paul, this was no exception. How can we find God's purpose for us through life's ups and downs? Andrew looks at 2 Timothy 4 and how Paul's plans for a missionary journey failed, and how we can finish what we started for God's plans, not ours.

In life we go through so many changes in our jobs, family, and relationships. When we find ourselves in the unknown and facing uncertainty it can be difficult to see how God is working. Marg helps us to see that God is working in us to build our values, belief and trust in him so he can open up new opportunities in our life.

Mothers are incredible, they care for us, comfort us, show us unconditional love and sacrifice for us. They show characteristics of Christ that we are called to show in our lives. So how can we learn from our mothers and hold onto those godly qualities they show us?
