For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. — 1 Thessalonians 4:7 ESV WELCOME We could probably spend a whole weekend retreat together talking about choices from our past we’re not proud of and still not have enough time to share all our stories. If your early college years or young adult… The post Jesus Over Everything Week 5 — Changing Your Heart appeared first on FaithGateway.

Yielding to God in Prayer
God invites us to pray in such a way that it scares what is scared within us. If you are not praying the type of prayers that scare you, they are certainly not frightening the enemy. — Lisa Bevere, author and teacher Are you praying big? Are you asking God for the impossible?

God Will Help You Get Through Grief
We don’t discuss graveyards to brighten our day. Cemeteries aren’t typically known for their inspiration. But an exception was found in a graveyard near Bethany. And that one exception is exceptional. A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany with his sisters, Mary and Martha. This is the Mary who later poured… The post God Will Help You Get Through Grief appeared first on FaithGateway.
