This Thursday, August 20, at 8 am EDT USA, we begin a new series on the prayer of Jesus from John 17. Over the next several weeks we will unpack the prayer of Jesus through reviewing chapters 14-16 and part of 18, so that we can do a deep dive into what Jesus taught his eleven apostles the last 24 hours before his death on the cross. Our main focus of Jesus’ prayer in John 17 will be verses 20-23. He prayed that we would be perfectly one, just like he and the Father are one. I look forward to going on this journey of discovery with you. Remember to invite a friend to attend this Thursday, August 20, 2026, at 8 am EDT USA.

Over the past 14 weeks, we’ve been exploring faith in the Bible. We have looked at the Greek word for faith, pistis, and unpacked the definition over multiple weeks. We’ve learned that faith pleases God. We’ve explored how fear robs us of our trust, confidence, and assurance in God. We have discussed what the Bible says about doubt regarding faith. We have also looked at the people in the Bible and talked about their faith or lack of faith. We explored how faith is part of us getting to know God. We have even talked about how we encourage one another through our faith in Jesus. Today, we continue to look at faith and its connection with our salvation through Jesus Christ. Be sure to join me this Thursday, August 13, at 8 am EDT USA, and bring a friend.

Have you ever felt discouraged? I have. I know God loves me. I know that through Jesus, I am reconciled with the Father. I know the Holy Spirit lives within me, and I am never alone. These are all truths found in the Bible, and I believe them. When I'm facing a negative situation or a difficult circumstance that's making me feel down, it's the truths from the Bible that strengthen my faith. That's why, in this week's devotion, I'll be sharing a psalm that helped deepen my trust, confidence, and assurance in God. If you're feeling downcast or discouraged, I pray this psalm will encourage you and build up your faith. Join me this Thursday, August 6, at 8 am EDT USA and invite a friend or two to join us.
