Hope in the Dark - Have you ever found yourself in a difficult time and felt like you had no one to turn to, no answers, no help? You may even start to wonder if the God you’ve always trusted is even there. And if he is, does he care about you, about what you are enduring? With real-life compassion, Pastor Craig Groeschel offers you Hope in the Dark, a book that reveals experiences of everyday people who have felt alone, as well as the little-known biblical story of Habakkuk and how he struggled with trust and doubt. Through these stories and insights, you’ll discover how God can meet you even in life’s most difficult moments. You’ll find how you really can know and discover a good and loving God, but the key is in wrestling with the pain, struggling through doubts, and even living with unanswered questions. Hope in the Dark is for those who are hurting and for those who are afraid that their faith may be failing. It offers the great and glorious knowledge that God is right there with you, especially when you need him most.
Before Amen - We pray to stay sober, centered, or solvent. When the lump is deemed malignant. When the money runs out before the month does. When the marriage is falling apart. We pray. But wouldn’t we like to pray...More? Better? Stronger? With more fire, faith, and fervency? Yet we have kids to feed, bills to pay, deadlines to meet. The calendar pounces on our good intentions like a tiger on a rabbit. And what about our checkered history with prayer? Uncertain words. Unmet expectations. Unanswered requests. We aren’t the first to struggle with prayer. The first followers of Jesus needed prayer guidance too. In fact, prayer is the only tutorial they ever requested. Jesus gave them a prayer. Not a lecture on prayer. He gave them a quotable, repeatable, portable prayer. Couldn’t we use the same? Join Max Lucado on a journey to the very heart of biblical prayer and the power unleashed with six simple lines: Father, you are good. I need help. They need help. Thank you. In Jesus’ name, amen.
