Journey with Hope

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

Loneliness and weakness are real, but God has not left us alone. Scripture teaches that the Holy Spirit pours God’s love into our hearts, comforts us in prayer, guides us into truth, and empowers us with gifts. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in believers today—for growth, fruit, and faithful witness.

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.

We tell each other, “You’re strong. You’ve got this.” But Scripture says otherwise. True strength isn’t found in ourselves—it’s found in Christ. From David and Goliath to Paul’s thorn in the flesh, the Bible reminds us: when we are weak, then we are strong. God shows Himself powerful when we depend fully on Him.

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...

Are we fighting spiritual battles with worldly weapons? Scripture says our war is not against flesh and blood, yet we often rely on intellect, influence, or strength instead of God’s power. Strongholds are built in the mind—pride, reasoning, self-reliance. The only weapons that tear them down are truth, faith, prayer, and the Word of God. The battle is real. Are we fighting it God’s way?

Should We Judge? One of the most difficult passages of scripture in the New Testament is found in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians...

Being made in the image of God means reflecting His character: love, truth, compassion, and faithfulness. We were created for His glory, to shine His light in a broken world. Through Christ, the image marred by sin is restored, and we become true image-bearers again. As God’s witnesses, our lives are meant to declare His praise and point others to Him.

Where are our children? When I go to my church or visit other churches or hear parents talking about their children many of them say the...

When Jesus set the demon-possessed man free, his whole life changed—and so did his mission. Jesus told him, “Go home and tell what great things the Lord has done for you.” Like him, we’re called to make known God’s compassion and power by sharing our stories of transformation with a world that desperately needs hope.

Gideon was a judge of Israel from the tribe of Manasseh, the youngest of his father's children from the weakest tribe, but called by God...

Are you desperately seeking Jesus? There are many examples throughout the Bible of people who were. He is the answer to our heart's cry.

What is the glory of God? When Moses asked to see God's glory in Exodus 33:18, God replies in the next verse that He will show Moses His goodness. We see the phrase, "God's glory" used many, many times in the Bible. The expression really refers to His might, His power, and His goodness that is above all that exists. We Beheld His Glory in Jesus Christ In John 1:14, John tells us, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the o

It might be surprising to learn that Jesus spoke more about Hell than he did Heaven. Jesus actually spoke more about Hell than anyone...
