Journey with Hope

Paul talks of our Christian life and compares it to a race. A race that must be run with endurance. What does that actually mean? ...

Following rules isn’t the same as loving God. The Pharisees followed every law but missed the heart of worship—love, mercy, and faith. Jesus calls us to something greater: a relationship, not a checklist. Only in Him do we find true rest for our souls.

In 2 Corinthians 5: 20, Paul tells us that we are ambassadors for Christ. What does an ambassador actually do in our world today? Their...

This week has been pretty overwhelming for many people. A new war has broken out in the Middle East. Horrific atrocities are happening, which sadly we have a front row seat to see. Economic collapse is being predicted by many and even the possibility of a global war is often talked about. At times like these we should remind ourselves of the Lord's words in Matthew 6:34, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trou

When the Lord looks at the heart of man what does He see? God desires a heart that shows true repentance, not excuses for our sin. May God truly search and know us for who we are.

In a world filled with distractions, Jesus invites us to find the better portion. Like Mary at the feet of Jesus, we’re called to slow down, listen, and rest in His presence instead of being consumed by busyness and worry. As Christians we should choose Christ over distraction, peace over anxiety, and worship over work.

Christ is our role model. How often we hear this. How does it make you feel? Hopeless? Hopefully not! Paul discusses this in...

People are not good at waiting. Waiting is hard and frustrating. Whatever we are waiting for, waiting to conceive a much-wanted child,...

God’s blessings are never earned by human righteousness but flow from His grace and purpose. As Israel inherited the promised land despite stubbornness, believers today are called to respond with love, obedience, and humility. Scripture shows that true worship is obedience, often shaped through trials, as God prepares His people for a greater promised inheritance in Christ.

How many times have we told a suffering friend, "You're so strong. You'll be fine." We are very wrong. The Bible tells us that none of...

Complaining feels justified, but Scripture shows it’s costly and unproductive. From Israel in the wilderness to Paul in prison, the Bible contrasts complaint with contentment and trust. God calls us to do all things without complaining, to rest in His sovereignty, and to shift our focus from frustration to gratitude—so we may shine as lights in a dark world.

Would Jesus say that you have great faith or little faith? Jesus scolds the disciples several times for having little faith. We read...
