In the midst of trials we have the greatest opportunity to encounter the risen Jesus…if we have eyes to see.

Walking by faith is risky, and the greater the risk the greater our need to trust God. When we trust the Lord we discover how reliable and trustworthy He is.
“Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart” (1 Peter 1:22). Why would Peter tell believers who loved each other to love each other?
Walking by faith is never boring; in fact we can become kind of infectious. Each day we have an opportunity to draw others closer to Christ by living out the Gospel.
The word translated “inspired” in 2 Timothy 3:16 literally means “God-breathed” and expresses the concept of exhalation by God. The Scriptures are the product of God having breathed them out.

We can live a few weeks without food, a few days without water, but we can’t live long without hope.
The story of Jesus doesn't end with the cross or even the grave in which He was laid. He is risen! He overcame death and continues to live.
Our world has become impersonal—and we’ve become uninvolved and reluctant to serve others. And yet, it’s in helping others we find the key to a fulfilled life.
Only when we face the facts of the horrors of Jesus' death can we fully appreciate the price that was paid on Calvary.
