Faith finds hope in God's plan. Not ours.

Faith invokes future blessings that defy what we see on the surface.

Faith in a resurrecting God is seeing the test of faith and calculating that God is a better bet, that even if obedience takes us to death, the resurrecting God will allow us to say: we will come again.

By faith, we must resist our worldly desires, replacing them with confidence in and contemplating Jesus and his Better City.

Faith in Jesus is the readiness to let go of things at the call of God and seeing the promise of God as substantial as its realization.

Faith obeys God's word, stands in contrast to the world, and anticipates salvation through judgment.

Walking with God by faith interrupts the cycle of death.

True faith is expressed in wholehearted worship—an offering of our best to God—not to earn his favor, but because we already have it in Christ.

Humanity is invited to a genuine, whole-life relationship of love with God.

Jesus is more worthy of placing our trust in than anything or anyone; trusting him gives us life and makes the unseeable knowable.

Place your confidence - not in your strength - but in the One who will return for you.

Jesus died to take our place, defeat death, cleanse our hearts, remove our sin, and make us right with God forever.

Draw near, hold fast, and consider one another, because we have confidence in Jesus.

In the law, there is a regular reminder of sins. In Christ, there is no remembrance of them at all. NO REALLY!

The gospel turns meaningless suffering into meaningful suffering to bring us closer to Christ, comfort others with Christ, and win others to Christ.

God Almighty desires for you to have unshakable hope and confidence about your future—a hope that is as strong as it can possibly be. Find refuge in him and he will give it to you.

Our joy comes from knowing the joy Jesus has for us when we look to him alone to be our joy.

Being united to Christ transforms us—emotionally, relationally, mentally.

Religious knowledge or practice and spiritual experiences are not a substitute for saving faith in Jesus. The best evidence that you are saved is that you believe in Jesus right now.

Maturity in the gospel doesn't mean we need God less and are independent; it means we stand on him more, build on him more, and rest in him more.

Your dull immaturity is causing you to miss out on the greatness of Jesus. Maturity in Christ comes with the gifts of discipline and discernment.

Jesus is the answer to every brokenhearted longing because he has succeeded in every way we have failed, meets us in our waiting, reveals the true condition of our hearts, and sends us on mission to proclaim his deliverance to a world in need.

Jesus Christ became the source of eternal salvation by his obedience through suffering.

Jesus is truly human, appointed by God to advocate for us, to offer sacrifices for our sins.

Because of Jesus, the throne of God is a throne of grace, not a throne of judgement and guilt.

The all-knowing, all-seeing God cuts straight to our hearts to point us to Jesus.

Because of Christ, we can rest.

Jesus' death and resurrection are the ultimate sign David prayed for and pointed toward.

No shame or condemnation will prevail over us because Jesus, who endured and outlasted betrayal and death, is the compassionate one for those in need forever and ever.

No shame or condemnation will prevail over us because Jesus, who endured and outlasted the weight of our shame and condemnation is our rock, our refuge, and our strong fortress to save.

Through the grace of Christ alone we stand perfectly justified.
