In this first stage of lif...  Read More

Day 1: The Reality of HeavenDevotional: Many people think of heaven as an abstract concept or a spiritual state of being. But Scripture paints a different picture. Heaven isn't a metaphor or a state of mind—it's a real destination with a real address. It's the dwelling place of God, mentioned over 500 times in the Bible. When Jesus spoke to His disciples about His departure, He didn't use vague sp...  Read More

This perspective changes everything. When we recognize th...  Read More

Day 1: Seeing Jesus in Your StormDevotional: Life's storms have a way of consuming our attention. The wind howls, the waves crash, and suddenly all we can see is the danger surrounding us.

What's remarkable isn't just ...  Read More

Day 1: Finding True ContentmentDevotional: In our modern world, we're constantly bombarded with messages telling us we need more - more possessions, more status, more everything.

Day 1: Recognizing the DriftDevotional: Just like a car slowly drifting off course, our spiritual lives can gradually veer away from God's path.

Before we realize it, we're expending enormous energy trying to ma...  Read More

Day 1: The Gift of FreedomDevotional: Freedom is one of the most precious gifts we have received through Christ. Like any gift, how we use it matters deeply.

Each day presents choices: Will we use our freedom to draw ...  Read More

Day 1: Recognizing Our ThirstDevotional: Have you ever been so busy that you forgot to drink water all day? Suddenly, you realize you're exhausted, your head hurts, and you can't think clearly.

We get caught up in the busyness of life—...  Read More

In Revelation, Jesus declares Himself as "the Alpha an...  Read More
