Jesus called us to be peace makers but with all the hostility, strife and anger in this world that can be a tough command to follow. For Matt's devotional tonight, he talked about how making peace is more than "not responding" and how following God's perfect examples of peace are about reflecting God's peace through action, not just silence.
James 1:26 reminds us of the importance of bridling our tongue, yet this is still something that most of us struggle with. For Kevin's devotional tonight, he explains why it's so easy for our angry words to hurt those around us, and also (in contrast) how our words can build others up when used properly.
Hope isn't just in the name of our guild, it's part of who we are and what we do. For Drew's devotional tonight, he talked about the power that comes from hope and why its essential to our faith walk with God.
For Christians and non-Christians alike, we all struggle to understand the world around us. For Colton's devotional tonight, he shared comfort and understanding from Psalms 73. Though this world can make little sense to us, when we find refuge in God, we can leave the trappings of this world behind and find joy and peace in him.
In Philippians, Paul talked about the need for his continued ministry here on earth but also his desire to join Christ in heaven. For Matt's devotional tonight, he talked what we can learn from Paul's letter. Matt challenged us to examine what we are desiring in this life and encouraged us to long for the presence of God at the end of our journey.
