Cary Cox, from 1 Peter 1:3-5. The apostle Peter encourages hurting believers by directing our praise to God, and by reminding us who we are and what we have in the Lord. We are born again! We have a real hope! We have a sure inheritance in Christ! We are guarded by God until the end!

The Surprising Mercy of Jesus
Benton Glass, from Luke 5:12-32. Jesus makes clean those who are unclean, meets our most desperate needs, and calls those who are far from him!
King Over the Flood
Cary Cox, from Genesis 7-8:19 (Genesis Study 20). The account of the Flood is written in a way to draw our attention to God himself. He is sovereign over all that is happening; he reigns as King over the Flood, Lord of the chaos, God over all! He is showcasing the glory of his wrath in judging sin, and he is displaying the glory of his mercy in saving his covenant people. We can trust him in the chaos and the storm.
