Could God actually have a purpose and plan for the difficult seasons of life? Today, we take a look at Elijah and how God can use our pain and suffering for our benefit and His glory.

God used Moses to purchase and release His people back from their slaveholders. Much like He paid the ransom for them, Jesus paid the ultimate price in securing our freedom so that we could be reconciled to Him.

Joseph’s circumstances parallel and foreshadow Jesus in many ways. He was betrayed by those closest to him. He was falsely accused and condemned. But God used his circumstances and gifts to bring about restoration.

But how do we respond when he have a desire to control our situations and circumstances? Today, we take a look at a familiar story from Scripture about the danger of control and the blessing of surrender.

This Christmas, we are reminded that Jesus came as the fulfillment of God's promise to us - that He loves us, He is for us, and He will always be with us.

This week, we take a closer look at the shepherds, the very real fear they felt encountering the angels, and what that means for us today.

The beauty of Christmas is that Jesus came to suffer with us. No matter what you've experienced, cling to the truth that He loves you and can relate to anything you're going through today.
