- 25GenerosityJesus is the beginning and the end, and all things hold together in His hands. Any time, talent, or treasure is a gift from above. May we steward it all with generosity.
- 26PentecostGod is advancing His Kingdom across the whole world, His power is behind it, and He uses His people to do it. But we are not alone. We have received His power through the Holy Spirit—the Helper and the Comforter—to carry out this work.
- 27With Us in the MessIt was never promised that all our dreams would come true when we follow Jesus. We get intimacy with God, and not a life of ease. Suffering is normal, Jesus is good, and joy will break through.
- 28The Barrier of BitternessBitterness creeps into our hearts and grows into resentment, unforgiveness, and hatred. It stagnates our sanctification, but with a perspective shift, the bitter becomes sweet and turns into resilience.
- 29Doers of the WordOur faith should change us. As we receive the Word, let us be those who put it into action—not letting it terminate on our ears, but germinate in our hearts.
- 30What Do You Hear?God desires three sounds in the heart and house of His people: the prayers for all nations, the praises of His Saints, and the proclamation of His Gospel. Anything less is a sound that grieves His heart.
- 31Contend for the FaithTime is running out. This is the time to be serious about our walk with Christ. We cannot take it for granted. We must be warriors for the Kingdom of Heaven and contend for the faith—not just for ourselves, but for the sake of those around us.
- 32Wake Up and WeepThe fields are ruined, the new wine is dried up, and human joy has evaporated. Even still, our God is slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love, and calls us to get up, repent, and return to Him.
- 33Day by DayWe cannot come to God with our goodness, because we have none. Our attempts toward holiness are filthy, but it is faith that pleases Him. It is a broken and repentant heart that reconciles us to our God.
- 34Turn and ReturnWe, a people embedded in darkness, have seen a great light. Even those of us dwelling among indelible shadows, a new day is dawning on us. Repent, for His kingdom is now!
- 35AbideIf the fruit is bad, something is wrong with the vine. But how might we produce the good fruit that lasts? Moment by moment, we turn back to Jesus. Day by day, the vine abides in the comforts, resources, and abilities of the Holy Branch.
- 36MagnifyTaste and see that our God is good! Those who look on Him are radiant. He rescues the poor and restores the broken. Those who rest in Him are happy. He gives purpose and protection to His people. Exalt His Name forever!
- 37Good NewsJesus came to save sinners. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus transfers us from death to life. He takes us out of darkness and into the kingdom of light.
- 38La Vida CristianaHe who began this great work in you is faithful to complete it! God has not started something He cannot finish. So we run toward Him, beholding and heralding the goodness of His gospel, knowing our God will come through in the end.
- 39Houses & VineyardsAll things have been created through Jesus and for Jesus. His blood was spilt as reconciliation for not only the human soul, but the whole of the universe. So how do we participate in His renewal of all things? We work hard, practice hospitality, and pray blessings over our city.
- 40LoveFor most of us, “love” is a junk drawer word. It can mean everything and nothing. But true love is rooted in God’s nature. It is radiant light invading the shadows. It's Him rescuing us from the dominion of darkness and dressing us in righteousness. True love takes action.
- 41MercyMercy is giving someone what they do not deserve. It isn’t weakness; it is God’s strength bending low. Mercy meets us in our rebellion, covers our guilt, and restores our lives. To receive His mercy is to be transformed into people who extend it.
- 42GraceWhile we were at our worst, with nothing to offer to tip the scales of grace, Christ died for us. At every stage, we are not met by a God with a furrowed brow, but the compassion of our Lord Jesus. His grace alone has saved us.
- 43JusticeHuman justice is partial, prone to inconsistency, and ebbs with the cultural tides. God’s justice is perfect, impartial, and righteous. His justice restores wholeness and holds evil at bay.
- 44TruthWe expect brokenness at every turn in life. We learn to trust reason, intuition, and experience to define what is true. But God, our anchor in reality, is Truth, and we depend on Him to make sense of and make right all that we see in this world.
- 45FaithfulnessGod’s faithfulness does not spring up from sentimentality or pity, but rather His covenantal love for His people. The muscle of His faithfulness is love and mercy. As He has shown His faithfulness, we turn and reflect it to the world.
- 46CompassionGod sees our pain, and His awareness leads Him to alleviate it. His brow is not furrowed toward us. His arms are open in compassion.
- 47HolinessThe world values what you do and what you can achieve. Religion does the very same. God values who you are and who you are becoming. He desires His children to be set apart, consecrated, and growing in Christ-centered holiness.
- 48PatienceThe desert will bloom with flowers. The wolf will lie down with the lamb. There will be no closed gates. There will be no sun or moon, for the Lord will be our Light. The previous things will all pass away. Strengthen your hearts, for the Lord’s coming is near.
