Often, in the midst of suffering or personal failure, it is not uncommon to begin to wonder if God is really for us.

But the good news of the gospel is that God …

Sometimes, what makes God’s promises seem difficult to believe is how big they are. In the midst of terrible loss, it can be hard to believe that God has a plan to use even loss for our ultimate good. In the midst of deep loneliness, it can be difficult to believe that God is with us, and in the midst of inexcusable failure, it can be hard to fatho…

Summary: Sin is a failure to believe in God's promises to us, God's presence with us, and God's power for us. When we fail to believe the gospel, we blindly give into the temptations to grasp for control, to be lured away by the enticements of the world, or to give into fear and despair. And so, the constant refrain of scripture is to repent and be…
