The teachings of Jesus make it clear that, for the Christian, offering unlimited forgiveness is not optional. But how could the Father possibly look at His children in their greatest hurt and instruct them to forgive?

Repentance is mentioned throughout scripture, and yet often we do not find ourselves focused on it. But maybe if we listen to God's Word and cultivate a heart for repentance, we will discover why God's kindness leads us there.

We often turn to prayer out of a sense of duty or desperation. But what if we began to see prayer as God intended it to be? What if we understood it to be absolutely essential to the life He calls us to live?

This week as we observe Lent, we are focused on the idea of stillness. Why is it so difficult to be still? How can we choose it, and what happens when we do?

We continue in our Lent Series: A Holy Pause by discussing how Fasting helps to set our minds and our hearts on Christ. The hope is that it will serve as an encouragement to stand strong in, and get the most from, our 40-day fast through Lent.
