Haven Today

Psalm 23 is cherished by millions worldwide, offering deep comfort in God's role as our shepherd. But its promises are reserved for those who follow Him by faith.

Trauma overwhelms our ability to cope, but in John 10 the Good Shepherd, calls us by name, offers protection, healing, and purpose. In Him, we find hope and peace.

Is dependency good? As a Christian, the answer is, “Yes.” We are sheep. And we find no rest outside the presence of our Good Shepherd.

Parents and grandparents often struggle to know how to support children facing fear, pain, or loss. So, how can we lead them to The Good Shepherd in dark times?

Hands, feet, voice, and heart. These are all ways the body of Christ gives witness to the power of God and the salvation and hope that only come through Jesus Christ.

Jesus speaks peace, gives peace, and as the Bible says, “...he himself is our peace.” Today, He extends and applies that peace in all the storms of life for those who belong to Him.

Storms come in many forms, and every believer in Jesus should expect them. Storms are the norm. But more importantly, we are never alone. Jesus is with us and holds us secure.

Traveling through hurricane-stricken Florida, David Wollen shares firsthand what he’s seeing in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton and rescue relief.

The storms of life come in many forms, but they all have something in common. They remind us how needy we are, how greatly we depend upon God’s mercies, and how truly present the Lord Jesus is to us.

Two historic hurricanes struck in two weeks, leaving Florida battered and Asheville, NC powerless. Join David Wollen on Haven Today for updates from survivors, pastors, and first responders.

We live in perilous times. Many today are hunkering down as a deadly hurricane is colliding with Florida’s coast. But whatever storm you’re facing today, there is one hope for God’s people.

Thirst is common to all of humanity. If it goes unmet, your life is on the line. But if your thirst is quenched, there’s a satisfaction and joy like no other.

What were you doing during the early days of the pandemic lockdown? During that time, one set of musicians used their talents at home to share their hope in Christ.

To the church in Ephesus Paul writes, "Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord." Singing to the Lord is a vital part of Christian worship.

There is only one truly Good Shepherd. As Jesus said, when danger comes, He lays down His life for the sheep. Pastors are His under-shepherds, and in Cuba, they need our prayers.

Why do missions exist? God’s desire is for every nation, tribe, and tongue to be gathered into His kingdom and around His throne in worship.

There are two prongs to the Great Commission, two aspects of what it means to make disciples of all nations. What happens if we focus on only one part and do so at the expense of the other?

Cuba is facing a great crisis caused by limited food and rolling blackouts. What’s the crisis? Its people are fleeing the country, and the church is paying the price.

Isaiah prophesied that God’s name would be praised in the islands. And that includes Cuba.

Suffering, even persecution for Christ, can be a gift from God. It’s part of His purpose, used for our good and His glory.

Suffering is part of life. But for the Christian, God wants to redeem those trials to make us more like Jesus. We can't do it on our own, which is why we need to look to the face of Jesus.

When life feels good, we might assume we're experiencing the goodness of God. That's not wrong. But what about when hardship, trials, and suffering come?

Is suffering meaningless? It can feel that way, especially when you're struggling to see beyond pain or heartache. But the Bible speaks a better word: in Christ, there is a purpose for your suffering.

Do you want to be strong in your walk with Christ, a mature believer, with wisdom and encouragement to bless others? The road that will take you there might be surprising. It’s the path of suffering.

Daily prayer and Bible reading are areas in which most Christians would like to grow. But what about other spiritual disciplines, like fasting?

Motivation determines success in self-disciplines like healthy habits and study, and even more so in the pursuit of godliness, as shown in 1 Timothy 4.

How do Christians grow in godliness? That’s a spiritual question the Bible answers clearly and speaks to frequently. The question is, are we listening and are we willing to heed the call?

They call it the ten-thousand-hour rule: it takes years of practice to master something, but does that apply to the Christian life?

Practice makes perfect, they say. Top-level musicians and elite athletes know how important practice is, but how about for living the Christian life?

Paul’s teachings to the early church are just as relevant today. This final episode focuses on the doctrine of union with Christ and how God’s grace directs us to live faithfully every day.

Treating symptoms without addressing the root cause won’t bring healing. The same is true for modern culture. Thankfully, God’s Word offers both the diagnosis and the cure.

Where are we, where are we going, and how did we get here? These are critical questions for understanding our world—this cultural moment—and yet few can answer all three.

What makes a man a man and a woman a woman? It used to be obvious, but today's culture has changed. These conversations are harder now, which is why we need greater understanding and biblical clarity.

"You do you." "Be true to yourself." "Live your truth." These are common expressions in today's culture, but how do they stand up in light of Scripture?

When Jesus’ glory was revealed on the Mount of Transfiguration, the Father’s voice said, "Listen to him." This is, in a sense, the greatest commandment.

God’s Word is truth and tells us the truth about Him, our world, and ourselves. Jesus said, 'I am the truth.' Likewise, His people are called not to bear false witness.

The Ten Commandments are more than a cultural fixture or moral foundation; they reveal two things every person needs to see: their sin and the Lord Jesus.

The primary impact of the Ten Commandments in the life of a Christian should be to overwhelm us with the glory of Christ and lead us to fall down before Him in worship.

Lilias Trotter could have been one of England's greatest artists, but she chose the narrow road with Christ instead. Join special guest Miriam Rockness as she shares Lilias' inspiring story.

A tree and a kingdom—these themes intertwine from Genesis to Revelation. In Matthew’s Gospel, a "kingdom tree" stands at the heart of Jesus’ parables, pointing to a larger story.

What’s the most valuable thing you possess? That depends on what you value most, but is it all relative? Jesus says no; there is, in fact, something more valuable than anything else.

The Gospel means, literally, good news. And Jesus preached the good news that the Kingdom of Heaven had now come in Him. Yet his message didn’t sound like good news to many who heard it. Why is that?

Why does the same Gospel message penetrate the heart of one person but not another? And for the Christian, why is spiritual growth such an uphill battle?

The Kingdom of Heaven—that’s what Jesus came preaching, according to Matthew’s Gospel. It’s a topic so big that everything Jesus taught fits under that header. So, what is the Kingdom of Heaven?

The cost of following Jesus is great, but the reward of knowing Him is greater. That’s His promise and the testimony of those who have gone before us. We need to listen.

What difference does Jesus make? It’s more than securing a place in heaven for the one who believes. His presence changes everything, even today. So, what does it look like to seek His presence?

What’s truly worthy of your life? What’s worth giving up good things for, so you can devote yourself to that one thing? That question can be paralyzing, but beholding Jesus by faith changes everything

Her potential for greatness was self-evident. Even in Victorian England, her work was turning heads, but her eyes were fixed on a greater glory. Lilias took another path and worked for a better prize.

Lilias Trotter could have been England’s greatest artist, but she chose the narrow road with Christ, pursuing His calling instead.

"For our good and His glory." That’s more than a standard Christian answer; it’s Gospel truth about God’s purposes in all things.
