Jesus issued the greatest invitation to all hopeless and helpless sinners when He said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). For Drew's devotional tonight, he explained that, despite what we may think, there are no hopeless helpless cases with Jesus Christ. No matter where we are in our lives, Gods spirit can come to us an instill his hope.
With so much trouble and strife in the world today it can feel like God has been silent while the people of this world struggle. For Matt's devotional tonight, he talked about the Israelite's very similar struggle between the prophecy of Malachi and the arrival of John the Baptist. God has shown us time and time again that he keeps his promises in his time and we can find strength in his past filaments and trust in his blessings to come.
Sanctification is a word I'm sure most of us have heard but not everyone can define or even understand its purpose. For Colton's devotional tonight he talked about what sanctification is and why it's so important. Preparing ourselves to worship and honor God helps us to set the thoughts and trapping of this world aside and to prepare our hearts to honor Him for all he has done for us.
In Paul's letter to the church in Corinth he wrote one of the clearest and most beautiful definitions of what love actually is. For Kevin's devotional tonight, he explored this very topic. Love is not just what God does, love is who God is. His kindness and patience is something that he bestows on us and we are to in turn reflect that love onto others.
Change is often hard and uncomfortable even when its the best thing for us. Instead of looking for the next magic fix to accomplish change, we turn our devotion to God into a force for change? For Drew's devotional tonight he talked about what a "Devotion for change" looks like and how committing ourselves to God can be just the thing to bring about needed changes in our lives.
