The Joys of Parenting
Parents are privileged with the joy and responsibility to mold their children, gifts from God. Because they catch their parents' core values, they should see Mom and Dad pursue the heart of God. Since there are neither perfect children or perfect parents, never give up on your children.

Suffering Like Jesus
A life of suffering is not something people normally choose, at least on purpose. In fact, most people prefer to avoid it at all costs. Yet suffering is at the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ that the Bible tells us about. It is impossible to understand the gospel apart from the theme of suffering. Today in our teaching from 1 Peter 2, we see once again the theme of suffering, this time played out in the life of Jesus. It is a lesson for us that suffering is a part of following Christ, and that in the midst of suffering, we must follow the example that Christ set for us. Listen today as we learn more about enduring suffering in a fallen world.
