Reading & Reflection

​​​

  • Daily Bible Reading Plan

  • Sermon Reflection Questions​

    • What keeps you from crying out to Jesus when you’re desperate — fear of others, pride, or doubt — and what would it look like to cry out in faith instead?

    • How does this picture of Christ challenge your view of God’s heart toward you and toward those who are hurting?

    • In what ways does receiving Christ’s mercy naturally lead to following Him in obedience, service, or worship?
