In Malachi, we see that God takes our sin seriously and acts to refine and cleanse us, not to destroy us but to restore us.

As we explore the book of Zechariah, we are reminded that no matter how filthy we feel, God's love is greater than our sin. He silences our accuser and transforms us from the accused to the acquitted.

On our own, the unknown future is terrifying. But the Lord goes with us always—strong to save, faithful to His promises in Christ.

Are you prioritizing God or just fitting Him in? Haggai reminds us: Put God first, not someday, but now. When we do, He promises to be with us. Even small acts of faith matter. Trust Him when results seem underwhelming.

Is it okay to pray to Jesus with all kinds of questions, doubts, even with anger and confusion? Habakkuk shows us that praying goes all the way from questions to exclamation points, from doubts to solid faith in God’s Word. Just because our faith FEELS shaky, does not mean that our faith IS shaky.  

Nahum teaches us that even when evil seems to prevail and we feel overwhelmed, God sees our suffering. He may not act in our preferred timeframe, but He will bring justice and deliverance for His people.

This Sunday, we explore how God's mercy is uniquely given through Jesus Christ. Despite our failures and faithlessness, God remains faithful. His love for us is not based on our performance, but on His unchanging character. As Micah says: “Who is a God like you, pardoning sin and forgiving transgressions (Micah 7:18)?”

Jonah is more than a story about a big fish—it’s the story of a big God whose compassion reaches rebellious prophets and ruthless sinners alike. As we walk through Jonah’s journey of reluctance, repentance, restoration, and regression, we’re invited to see our own need for mercy and rejoice that “salvation comes from the Lord.”

Accompanying devotional is available here. Just as Edom's pride blinded them to compassion and ultimately to God's judgment, our own pride can damage our relationship with God and others. But there's hope! Through Jesus Christ, we see perfect humility and receive undeserved grace.

In the book of Amos, we're reminded that our own efforts can't save us. But there's hope! While Amos warned of a dark 'day of the Lord,' Jesus became that darkness for us on the cross. He took God's judgment so we don't have to.
