Myth: Hope is just positive thinking.
Truth: Hope is holy resistance.
Positive thinking says, "Just pretend everything is fine."
Biblical hope says, "I see the darkness, but I refuse to let it have the last word."
It's not about ignoring reality. It's about anchoring yourself to a greater one.

Hope is heaven’s answer to human exhaustion.
It stands when nothing makes sense.

YOU HAVE PRAYED. YOU HAVE WEPT. YOU HAVE FOUGHT.
NOW OBEY THE CALL OF SCRIPTURE: “BE STILL.”
STAND FIRM, AND WATCH GOD PROVE HIS FAITHFULNESS.

Stop grasping for control that was never yours. Your anxieties, fears, and burdens were never meant to rest on your shoulders. Scripture commands: “Cast all your anxieties on GOD, because HE cares for you” (1 Pet. 5:7).
When you cease clinging to self-reliance, you confess what is eternally true—GOD ALONE delivers, GOD ALONE sustains, GOD ALONE saves (Ps. 62:5–8).

Lay down the illusion of sovereignty. Repent of self-dependence. Trust wholly in the sovereign grace of GOD, who works all things according to HIS perfect will (Eph. 1:11).

Be still—and behold what GOD does for HIS people.

Abiding isn't about perfection, it's about connection.
It's not about control, but surrender.
It's not about convenience, but consistency.

- Prayer: Add 5 minutes of intentional prayer to your morning.

Matthew 24:23-35
English Standard Version
23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the co**se is, there the vultures will gather.

Life gets loud.

School, work, kids, bills, stress, and a thousand other distractions pull us in every direction.

Jesus says, "Abide in me," but how do we do that when our to-do list is a mile long?

Let's be real: busyness is not the same as fruitfulness.

Question: What is ONE practical thing you do to stay connected to God during a busy week?

❄️ The first snowfall is beautiful — unless you don’t have a shelter.

Cold weather isn’t just uncomfortable for those experiencing homelessness — it’s deadly. Hypothermia can set in at just 50°F, and frostbite becomes a serious risk well before temperatures reach freezing. Each winter, people across Michigan are hospitalized — or worse — because they simply don’t have a safe, warm place to go.

In Macomb County, homelessness has surged 36.7% in just one year. That means more people than ever are facing freezing nights without shelter, heat, or a reliable way to stay safe.

As the temperatures drop, your support rises in importance.

Let’s make sure no one in our community is left out in the cold.
