As we study Luke 17:11-19, we will discover how Jesus does more than heal our diseases: He makes us well.

Growing closer to God changes every other relationship, too. Romans 12:9-21 provides practical steps for changing our thoughts, feelings, and actions that we too often neglect. To grow, we must all work on them together.

Christians are members of God’s family, and belonging to a family carries responsibilities, as we see in Galatians 6:1-10.

”Church” as Jesus defines it isn’t a building or a business. In Ephesians 2:11-22, we see what it is really supposed to be: a family, built together by the Spirit.

Jesus wants us to experience real family in the church. In Mark 3:31-35 and 10:28-31, we see the hundredfold blessings we receive when we are part of God's family.

Want to be amazed? Gather with the church and pray earnestly the way we see in Acts 12:1-17. You will not believe what God does.

As we study Luke 4:31-5:16, we will discover who Jesus is and how humbling ourselves before Him changes everything.

When we are hurting, God helps us. Without needing to pretend the bad things we go through are actually okay, Romans 8:26-39 shows us how God works with us through our suffering to help us grow more like Jesus.

The Apostle Paul faced terrible suffering yet still had incredible joy and indescribable peace. What was his secret? In Philippians 4:10-13 and 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, he teaches us how to be content in all circumstances.

Sometimes what you are dealing with IS more than you can handle. In 2 Corinthians 1:3-11, we see how those times can teach us to rely on Christ and to help others.

When we are hurting, we often wonder who is to blame. Jesus sees things differently. In John 9, He challenges us to see the opportunity to give God glory and to work with Him in bringing light into the darkness.

Some of the most significant growth in Christianity’s history came through pain, but it’s not that suffering is good. As we see in Acts 11:19-30, it is that God meets us in the middle of dark situations and does good.

As loving and gracious as Jesus is, there is a way many of us behave that makes Him sick! In Revelation 3:14-22, He gives us some tough love. If we’ll receive it, our lives for Him will become so much better.

Sometimes we get into habits that keep us from growing more Christ-like. In 2 Thessalonians 3:1-15, we see why extreme steps might be needed in order for us to change.

The Christian life is the most abundant life you can possibly live…but sometimes it is hard. In 2 Timothy 2:1-13, we learn how to share in suffering with Jesus and see how He will redeem our pain.

We respect the results of a disciplined lifestyle, but we aren’t always willing to endure the pain of it ourselves. In Hebrews 12:1-11, we see that is simply part of following Jesus…and He makes it so worth it.
