1 & 2 Chronicles remind us of one unchanging truth: God is faithful. Through the ups and downs of Israel's history, we see a God who remains constant in His love and mercy and calls His people to repentance and obedience. He does the same with us. 1. God's faithfulness never changes (1 Chr. 16:34). 2. Repentance brings restoration (2 Chr. 7:14). 3. Obedience leads to blessing (2 Chr. 31:20-21).

Albert Einstein, Oprah Winfrey, and Michael Jordan were all told they weren't good enough. Have you ever or do you ever feel inadequate to accomplish something extraordinary?

God works through our weakness for His glory (...

Imagine facing an insurmountable wall. What is the key to overcoming it? Not strength. Faith! The story of Joshua and the battle at Jericho shows that faith in God can break down walls (literally).  1. God's plan requires faith (v. 1-5).  2. Obedience precedes victory (v. 6-16). 3. God's power delivers the victory (v. 20) What steps of faith and obedience can you take today?

Tough choices can lead to positive, lasting impact. There is also power in everyday choices, such as choosing a career path, a place to live, or even daily decisions like healthy eating or exercise.

The Promise of Life (v. 20) What good choice will...
