We live in a culture that gives high regard for being self-sufficient. We admire the self-made man. This can creep into our faith as well, where we put our own righteousness above the righteousness of Christ. How can we fully trust in Jesus? And how do we learn to disregard anything that might compete with Him?

When things are bleak and we feel alone, life can seem hopeless and the future uncertain. Yet God brought you to this moment through many other dark times already. Can God's deeds of yesterday influence our present, giving us hope and strengthening our faith?

No one knows what's around the bend, and with today's headlines, it seems anything is possible! Is the end of the world around the corner? The temptation is to panic when the future looks frightening, but take heart! God is in control and knows exactly what will happen next. How can you learn to put your complete trust in Him even when tomorrow looks bleak?

Whether we want it or not, change is inevitable in our lives. The constant ups and downs we go through can tempt us to be fearful, stressed out, or even numb. But just as fixing our eyes on a distant object can keep us from getting dizzy, keeping our hearts and minds centered on God changes our outlook and attitude. How can we do this?

We all put our faith in something: family, a job, ourselves, or even the church. But quite often we end up disappointed when that something lets us down. The Bible says the only place to put our trust is in God. What if we're not sure that God can be trusted? How do we learn to do that?

As we look back on biblical history, we often think of the people we read about as perfect saints, entirely unlike us. But these people started off just like us, flawed in all the same ways, and they needed Jesus to effect any change in their lives. Do you need this kind of transformative power in your life now? Do you think that Jesus is capable of turning your life around?

A thousand years before the crucifixion, a song was written by King David. Psalm 22 tells the story that would be fulfilled in Jesus Christ. How does this astounding prophecy affect your life today?

God created everything we can see: the earth, the stars, and every living thing. It's a wondrous fact, and likewise fill us with wonder when we marvel at what He's made. But here's an even more amazing fact: God created you, knows you, and what's more, He loves you!

God is holy, perfect, eternal, just and merciful. He created you and has given Jesus Christ to save you. So why doesn't everyone worship Him? And specifically, how are you responding to Him?

In almost every story, the bad guy loses and the good guy wins. But in real life, that isn't always the case. When we lose out while the bad guy wins, it can lead to a bitterness, hatred, or something worse. How can we keep a positive perspective when it seems like justice isn't being served? Will God ever set right the wrongs of the world?
