Rocking Chair Devotions

When we choose to surrender our heartbreak, denial, betrayal, pain or hurt, we tell God we are ready to stop running and allow Him to mold us into who He wants us to be.

Many times, we need to meet the needs of people physically before they ever listen to anything we have to say about God.

During Jesus’ three-year ministry, He healed many people. He cast out demons, made the lame walk, the blind see, the deaf hear, and countless healings of people’s mental, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Temptations are all around us. As we will see, some are physical, others surround our need to test God at every turn, while others focus on wrongful worship.

We kick off a Holy Week series that bridges the gap between the crossroads we find ourselves at and the beauty of what Jesus did on the cross for you and me.

Whether you are a believer in Christ or someone who is still wandering or searching on their spiritual journey, you have more in common with each other at times than you realize.

Mary was chosen by God at a young age to bring Jesus into our world because He would save us from our sins. In a few short weeks, we will see how Mary’s simple act of obedience paved the way for our chance to spend eternity with Jesus.

We can take encouragement from Elisha’s faithfulness, his request to receive a double portion of Elijah’s spirit, and his pursuit of living a life sold out for the Lord in turbulent times.

Elijah is known for his ascension to Heaven without experiencing death as well as the epic showdown on Mt. Carmel against the prophets of Baal.

Rahab was a prostitute, and God uses likely and unlikely characters to accomplish His will and plans. We seem to think that you have to be near perfect to be chosen by God to accomplish His plans, but that’s not the case.
