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.
When Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well, it was no chance encounter. He knew she would be there. He knew all about her. For Kevin's devotional tonight, he talked about how Jesus sought this woman out, though she was a Samaritan and a sinner. Kevin reminds us that you don't need to clean yourself up to meet Jesus, he meets you where you are, redeems you and offers you living water that will satisfy in a way that this world never will.
Are you living for your own glory or for the glory of God? For Drew's devotional, he talked about how while we are made for greatness, seeking personal glory leads to dissatisfaction and burdens, whereas living for God's glory brings peace and purpose. By humbling ourselves and aligning our desires with God's, we can experience the abundant life He has planned for us.
The term "Fear of the Lord" is one that can be confusing to a lot of people. For Colton's message tonight, he talked about what the fear of the lord actually means and why it's so important to a right relationship with God.
