Jul 23, 2015 - Jul 27, 2015 2 Timothy 2:1-13 Some things are easy to hear, bringing comfort and encouragement to smooth life's rough edges. Other things are difficult to hear, telling of pains to endure and troubles to face. We grin at the one and grimace at the other. But if we're honest, we know that growth comes through overcoming difficulties—by trudging down the rock-strewn, overgrown, untrodden path that takes us to vistas unseen.

Feb 3, 2015 - Feb 5, 2015 1 Kings 19:1-14; Jeremiah 17:9-10 Human depravity leads to every disturbing situation we can imagine. Sinful people think sinful thoughts, which, if not restrained, result in sinful actions. This brings misery to others, which ranges from mildly aggravating to dreadfully painful. Chances are good that the majority of people you know are paying some serious consequences for someone else's unrestrained sinfulness.
