Trusting God in the Fire, Pt. 2

In the midst of life's challenges and uncertainties, it's easy to question God's power and purposes. However, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego's story in Daniel 3 teaches us to trust God even when we don't understand His plans. They refused to bow down to King Nebuchadnezzar's idol, choosing instead to trust in God's ability to deliver them, even if it meant death. This lesson applies to our own lives, where we must learn to trust God in the midst of suffering and trials, recognizing His sovereignty and purpose in all things. [... more]

By trusting in God's promises and staying upon Him, we can find treasures in the darkness and emerge stronger and wiser in the light. [... more]

From Pasture to Brickyard (Exodus 1:1-22)

The book of Exodus tells the story of how God brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and into the Promised Land. The Israelites were afflicted and oppressed by the Egyptians, who feared their growing numbers and sought to discourage them from multiplying. However, the Hebrew midwives, Shifra and Puah, refused to obey Pharaoh's command to kill the Hebrew boys, and instead let them live. This act of defiance against authority is a powerful example of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. [... more]

Can Christians Struggle with Mental Health?

Mental health struggles in the church can be disunifying, leading to feelings of shame and isolation. Vulnerability and openness are key to healing, and the church can be a space where people can share their struggles and find support.
