What a joy it's been to study the Bible and what it says about how to thrive as a human being. Prayer, reading the Bible, staying in community, and resting are all ways to thrive. Today, I want to wrap up our week in Psalm 26. This one just stuck out to me this week because it's all about trusting the Lord. Let's finish strong!Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3R8zOUp----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the word.

Rest is a weapon given to us by God. The enemy hates it when we're rested because he wants us to be stressed and occupied. But, you know what? God wants us to be peaceful and trusting in Him. It's possible! If you give God a space, He will fill it with something meaningful. So, let's begin today at the beginning shall we, as we study rest together? Join me in Genesis chapter two.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4bLsJ3I----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the word.

We read God's Word and we let it read us. Remember, we were talking last time about how sometimes the Bible exposes the sin in our life, but it's okay to bring it into the light. Another safe place to do that is in a community of people you trust, like a small group. Maybe you're involved in a small group right now. It's a big deal to be part of a small group, to share your life with other people who you can trust, who are following Jesus. You can row with them in the same direction. You can pray together. It's a place you can potentially thrive!Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3ypFEu7----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the word.

What a privilege it is to study the Word with you and to remember that God provides everything you and I need on this planet. Air, water, food, and light.

Jesus says, I am the light of the world, and so even though we go through dark times in our lives and walk through dark valleys, we may feel like we're alone, but we are never alone. He is right beside us, lighting the way with hope. He knows just what we need when we need it. I want to invite you to join me today in John chapter eight. We are going to meet a woman who is in the darkest moment of her life. She's about to be murdered, or so she thinks, until Jesus the light of the world comes on the scene.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4dGa7UP----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the word.

As human beings, we need four things to survive, air, water, food, and light. Technically, I guess coffee falls under the water category, but do you realize Jesus provides all of these things for us every day? He is the breath of life. He is the living water. He is the bread of life. He is the light of the world. All this week we are going to be exploring how Jesus provides all that you and I need.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3UHOdrr----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the word.

May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace. The words of Moses are kicking off Joy Bombs in the Psalms today and we're going to be diving into Psalm 67, which interestingly enough is a little bit of a reprise of Moses's words, his beautiful prayer in Numbers 6:24-26.

Today we're looking at two unsung heroes from the Bible: a poor widow and a man on death row. The widow, despite her poverty, gave all she had, demonstrating her faith and commitment. The man on death row, despite his crimes, reached out to Jesus in his final moments, showing his belief and repentance. God sees and values all people, no matter their circumstances.

Consider for a moment the great honor and joy of carrying out God's plan for your own life, and the rest of the whole world too. Those two things, the plans he has for you and the plans he has for this old world intersect and interact with each other. What a privilege! Today you and I are going to study another unsung hero in the Bible, a woman who had to do something hard twice, and yet when we pull back and zoom out, I think you and I are going to be amazed at what God did through this woman's courage.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4b2TbpN----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the word.

If I were to ask you right now who your favorite Bible hero is, I imagine you would say David, with God's help, he slayed Goliath the giant, or Daniel. God rescued him from the lion's den, but unsung heroes, that's a little trickier.This week I googled unsung heroes of the Bible and two unusual names popped up, and right away I said, "Yes, let's do it"... Let's call the midwives!Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4djLsVR----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the word.
