[SmallTalk30] Many times we can get distracted by sin and stray away from God. During these times, God may be asking us the same question he asked Adam in Genesis chapter 3, “where are you”? This devotional will help listeners identify areas in which they have wandered from God and His truths.

Scriptures: Genesis 3:9, Proverbs 3:9, Colossians 3:23, James 4:8, Hebrews 2:1.

[SmallTalk29] When we lose something valuable, there’s something in us that won’t allow us sit and wait for it to magically appear. We usually go looking for it with all we have. If we are so passionate about finding the things we lose in life, how much more passionate do you think Jesus is about the lost or when we stray away? Listen as Krystal talks about God’s loving pursuit of His children.

Scriptures: Luke 19:10; Ezekiel 34:6,11; Psalm 40:2; Psalm 103: 2,4.

[REPLAY of SmallTalk16]: God is sufficient. How often do we consider this characteristic of God? There are many aspects of God’s sufficiency.
