Jesus teaches us about the two sides of our calling: love God, love others. How we treat others reveals our true dedication to Christ. In this study we'll examine how we can grow in our own love for God and others and learn to serve with a heart like His. Join us as we journey through the Gospel of Mark and discover the transforming power of authentic love.

Loving Well in Community

Wanting to be happy is a normal human desire. But we all have experiences in life that show us that happiness can be fleeting. One moment you feel happy, the next you don’t. It is possible to be so unhappy that joy seems to be out of reach. The Bible teaches us a lot about happiness. This reading plan will help you find the way to lasting joy.

The Way to True Happiness

In daily life, it is often helpful to be down to earth. But God also encourages us to keep dreaming — dreaming of His Kingdom of peace, justice and light.

Dare to Dream

Self-care. How necessary is it? 

In our fast-paced world, self-care has become more than a trend; it’s a necessity. Especially after the challenges of the global pandemic, many of us are reevaluating how we care for ourselves. Self-care is not just about taking breaks or pampering ourselves; it’s about recognizing our whole selves—mind, body, and spirit—and giving each part the attention it deserves. 

In this devotional, let’s explore what self-care means through a biblical lens and how we can intentionally nurture ourselves.

Self-Care

All of us are thinking about God - who He is, His character, His promises, His acts and what we can expect from Him. We always need to understand one thing: God is totally different from us. This is the content of this study: The otherness of God. It is rich in meaning.
