You do have to grieve. But you don’t have to grieve without hope.

How do you not lose heart when there are so many reasons to? You need to know that heaven is where you are going, and suffering is how you will get there.

There is no peace without hope, and no hope without heaven.

In heaven we will be perfected by sight. In the meantime, on earth, we are being purified by hope.

For a Christian, the day of judgment is a day to long for, because on that day we will finally see ourselves as God already sees us in Christ, defined not by all our sins and failures but by his beautiful, spotless righteousness.

Though we fear many things, Jesus has the power to free us from every overwhelming evil power (particularly fear of our sin and being in a sinful world) so we should not fear his power but trust his power.

No one is ever fully satisfied, and often the better we seem to have it the worse we seem to feel. How did we get here? And what can be done about it?

At the center of the Christian life Paul places intentional, disciplined focus on the hope of heaven. Why?

The Apostle Paul brings assurance to the believer as he teaches us to consider the inseparable love of God for us through Christ Jesus our Lord. 

The end of 2 Samuel seems really strange until you see that it’s not an ending at all, but a signpost pointing toward a greater David to come.

The aftermath of David’s sin shows us the awful consequences of disobedience and, ultimately, the absolute necessity of God’s free grace.

The conversion of the prophet Isaiah reveals the cleansing and commissioning work of Christ. 

Israel’s greatest hero is the chief villain in the Bible’s most vivid portrait of sin and what it causes. It’s a story meant to warn us of four terrible truths about sin, and point is to one glorious truth about God.

God’s promise to David shows us the hope that’s offered through Jesus and how we can receive it.

The Apostle Paul brings comfort to the believer as he instructs us consider how the Creation groans, how the Christian groans, and how Christ's Spirit groans on our behalf. 

They say that crisis reveals character. What did Israel’s civil war reveal about David?

The tragedy of King Saul’s death reminds us that all kings die and let us down, except for Jesus. Being in Christ means our allegiance is to a King who will never let us down and ours is a citizenship in a Kingdom where the poor are exalted and where there will be righteousness, justice, and peace—forever. 

How do we live in the gap between what God has promised and what we see now?

This story shows us two ways to respond to God’s anointed: Don’t be Saul. Be Jonathan.

The apostle Paul reminds anxious Roman Christians of the blessings they now possess since they have the Spirit of adoption.
