God works out His redemptive purposes in a way that is unique to each of us. A life verse reflects this uniqueness and reminds us that regardless of what the previous chapters held, God is continually writing the story of our redemption. It's a verse that reminds us of the things that matter most in life and refocuses us to keep an eternal perspective. It allows us to articulate our faith to those around us and gives us confidence to live out our call. A life verse can help us move on from our old stories of failure and defeat by replacing the lies we’ve believed with God’s truth. It gives us an intimate closeness to God and becomes no longer a scripture to believe, but a truth to live. What's your life verse?

The rhythms of life can often be described as familiar patterns, routines, or movements dictated by seasons, periods, or cycles that we live in. After a year when everything was turned upside down and inside out, how do we move forward establishing helpful, healthy, and happy rhythms for our emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing? Rhythms of the Soul is from Psalms as we study a Psalm a week focusing on retuning and refreshing our soul in this new year.

Hope can seem like an ideal fantasy and a desire ultimately out of our control; but the HOPE we receive from God is more than just optimism. It’s a concrete TRUTH rooted in the GOSPEL. As we walk through 1 Peter verse by verse we see HOPE is tested in the toil, solidified in the suffering and revealed through refinement.
