Jesus Christ is God’s Yes to his

promises.

God does not promise that you will never be overwhelmed. He promises that you will never be beyond his resurrection power.

You can tell where a person is going by what they let go of, who they let in, and what they give away.

Jesus enthroned means finished work, present reign, and certain victory.

God appeals to our appetite and promises to completely satisfy us with himself.

Psalm 22 was Jesus' actual experience on the cross where he was forsaken so you never have to be. You are not alone in your suffering, your doubt, or your sense of abandonment. The God you bring your pain to already knows what it costs. Exhale your grief, anger, confusion, or fear directly to him; then inhale, receiving the truth that Jesus endured abandonment, death, and shame in your place, and rose.

Dependence on the good news of Jesus results in joyful, unrestrained praise.

God invites you to listen and receive, not to perform and achieve.

Trust in the Living God--the one with a voice, with ears, with hands, and with feet.

Jesus didn’t come to give you ease. He came to give you himself, new life, and his presence, and it is in his presence that our perspective will shift.
