As we continue our week on God being our Father, we look today at how God encourages us. There is nothing like an encouraging word from the Father when we’re feeling low and discouraged. Sometimes life can be daunting, and our good Father knows just what to say when we need to hear it most. If you’re feeling discouraged today, I pray the Lord speaks courage to your weary heart and strengthens your weary bones to keep running the race set before you.

Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 8:31, and today's worship is My Confidence by Iron Bell Music.

Reimagine what love looks like  

Jesus summed up our purpose with two statements: love God and love people. Love is at the center of our Christian faith, but in this season of COVID-19, it can be more difficult than ever to experience it, much less live it out. 

This is why we are launching volume 5 of our First15 Devotional Series, Love.

Within this 4-week journey, you will:

• Learn how to stand firm on God’s love in every circumstance.
• Receive lasting comfort in the goodness of God’s immense love for you.
• Find ways to love others out of the overflow of God’s love for you, even from a distance.
• Watch your faith come alive as you love God in word and deed. 

If you are longing to experience God’s love in a deeper way, please request your copy of Love today.
