Weekend, March 6, 2021 Though the Rain Comes "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock" (Matthew 7:24 NKJV). Storms can seemingly come out of nowhere, and that can be true of life as well. It might be a hardship. It might be anxiety. Or it might be a tragedy. But it's something that comes rather quickly, seemingly out of nowhere, and it has a significant impact on you. Everyone has their own storm they deal with, and sometimes it's a mega-storm. I wish I could say that you've come to a point in your life where all the problems go away. But some problems are just replaced by other ones. So either you'll be pulling into a storm, or you'll be pulling out of a storm. The good news is that storms don't last forever. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end. And storms have their purposes. Speaking at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus talked about two men who built houses. One built his house on a solid foundation of rock. The other built his house on an unstable foundation of sand. Jesus said, "Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse because it is built on bedrock" (Matthew 7:24–25 NLT).   CONTINUE READING →

Starting Again - Greg Laurie Devotion - March 8, 2021

Monday, March 8, 2021 Starting Again "Then the Lord spoke to Jonah a second time: 'Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh, and deliver the message I have given you'" (Jonah 3:1-2 NLT). From the belly of the fish, Jonah probably thought that God would never use him again—and God certainly was under no obligation to do so. But then we read this: "Then the Lord ordered the fish to spit Jonah out onto the beach. Then the Lord spoke to Jonah a second time: 'Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh, and deliver the message I have given you'" (Jonah 2:10; Jonah 3:1-2 NLT). All of this happened because God loved Jonah. And this should give hope to anyone who feels the need for a second chance in life. God gave a second chance to Adam and Eve, our first parents. He strictly warned them not to eat the forbidden fruit, but they did it anyway. And sin entered into the world. God could have said, "That's it! I'm starting over again." Yet we read that Adam and Eve "heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees. Then the Lord God called to the man, 'Where are you?'" (Genesis 3:8-9 NLT). God still was longing for fellowship with his wayward son.   CONTINUE READING →
