HOPE is Here

When you focus vertically first, everything on the horizontal gets better. Look up first, then listen. Isaiah 55:3 says “Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live…” God is wanting to speak to you, but you’ll miss it if you’re not listening. When we seek God, we find mercy and grace. Who doesn’t need some grace and mercy in their lives? Tune in to today’s broadcast as Greg digs deeper into this passage in Isaiah 55.

Do you feel persecuted, abandoned, lonely, or discouraged? When everybody else is against us, God is for us! Mark Batterson says “God wants you to get where God wants you to go more than you want you to get where God wants you to go.” Read that again. Remember, the earth is not heaven. When things don’t seem to be going your way, remember that this world is not our home, it’s a temporary stop. Join Greg as he shares ways to know that God loves you.

Scars are signs that you have been wounded. But do you know what else the scars indicate? That you survived the wound. Keep showing up, you will survive. Let’s look at some other truths we learn from the things that once wounded us. Hebrews 13:5-6 says “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. So, we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” What are you learning from your scars?
