Whether you're full of faith or struggling to believe, "Return to Love" is the antidote to the spirit of fear and division so many are burdened by. We hope to encourage and strengthen your heart and inspire fresh devotion to the way of Jesus. We pray that "Return to Love" be a reminder to the church in America that in times of trouble, when lies run free...there's a different story.

The Bible begins with, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty.” But clearly, that was not a problem for God. He merely spoke and the emptiness was filled with life, beauty, and purpose. This gives us hope that God will do his best work in the emptiness of our own lives. Let’s pray and ask him to fill up our emptiness.

This seven-day plan explores the radical conversation between Jesus and the woman at the well in John chapter 4. Jesus quickly turned small talk into spiritual insight on the timeless human problem of living with unmet longing. By the end of the study, you’ll see how the “living water” of God’s presence erases our shame, heals our loneliness, and gives us a place to belong.
