Faith That Pleases God

Faith Degrees
Throughout the Bible, Jesus and His disciples performed miraculous healings. But what role did faith play in those who were healed? And does faith play a role in our being healed today? Today on Discover the Word, we continue the discussion on living a life of faith called “Faith Degrees.” Join the group as they […]
Discover The Strength Of What You Believe In
In most cases, we want quality over quantity. And it’s no different when it comes to faith. Today on Discover the Word, the team helps us see that the strength of what we believe in matters more than the strength of our belief. Join the conversation when you tune in to Discover the Word today!

Friendship with God
Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing…? —Genesis 18:17
The Delights of His Friendship. Genesis 18 brings out the delight of true friendship with God, as compared with simply feeling His presence occasionally in prayer. This friendship means being so intimately in touch with God that you never even need to ask Him to show you His will. It is…
Does It Matter How Much Faith We Have?
You’ve probably heard that it only takes faith the size of a mustard seed to move mountains. But today on Discover the Word, the team will sit down to ask the question, if we only need mustard seed sized faith, does it matter how much faith we have? Join the conversation called “Faith Degrees,” today […]
Wonders in Focus
Some of us are inclined to look at the world and see only what’s wrong. DeWitt Jones is a National Geographic photographer who has used his profession to celebrate what’s right about the world. He waits and watches until a shaft of light or turn of perspective suddenly reveals a wonder that had been there all along. He uses his camera to find beauty in the most common faces of people and nature.
If anyone had reason to focus on the wrongs of the world, Job did. After losing all that had given him joy, even his friends became his accusers.…
God’s Total Surrender to Us
For God so loved the world that He gave… —John 3:16
Salvation does not mean merely deliverance from sin or the experience of personal holiness. The salvation which comes from God means being completely delivered from myself, and being placed into perfect union with Him. When I think of my salvation experience, I think of being delivered from sin and gaining…
Obedience to the “Heavenly Vision”
I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. —Acts 26:19
If we lose “the heavenly vision” God has given us, we alone are responsible— not God. We lose the vision because of our own lack of spiritual growth. If we do not apply our beliefs about God to the issues of everyday life, the vision God has given us will…
Unashamed Loyalty
Sports fans love to sing their teams’ praises. By wearing logos, posting notes on Facebook about their beloved teams, or talking about them with friends, fans leave no doubt where their loyalty stands. My own Detroit Tigers’ caps, shirts, and conversations indicate that I am right there with those who do this.
Our sports loyalties can remind us that our truest and greatest loyalty must be to our Lord. I think of such unashamed loyalty when I read Psalm 34, where David draws our attention to Someone vastly more vital than anything else on earth.
David says, “I will extol the Lord…
Failure Is Not The End Of The Story
Today on Discover the Word, we conclude our study of the life of Solomon on a hopeful note. Although Solomon lost sight of God, his failure is not the end of the story. Consider the “true and better Solomon” the Bible and all history points to when you join the group today on Discover the Word!
Turning Back or Walking with Jesus?
Do you also want to go away? —John 6:67
What a penetrating question! Our Lord’s words often hit home for us when He speaks in the simplest way. In spite of the fact that we know who Jesus is, He asks, “Do you also want to go away?” We must continually maintain an adventurous attitude toward Him, despite any…
True Wisdom That Goes Beyond Mere Knowledge
We have more access to knowledge than any other generation in history. Most any question we have, we can Google an answer to in seconds. But even with all that knowledge, wisdom still seems to be in short supply. Today on Discover the Word, the team will help us connect to the source of true […]
Scandal Involving The Wisest Man Who Ever Lived
It seems like every week there’s a new scandal involving a public figure. But today on Discover the Word, we’ll explore an ancient scandal involving, strangely enough, the wisest man who ever lived. Be part of the group on Discover the Word today for a discussion on “The Wisdom of Solomon”!
Living Wisely To The End
Do you remember who was voted “Most Likely to Succeed” in your high school class? If you’d gone to school in ancient Israel, King Solomon would certainly have been elected that in his senior year. But today on Discover the Word, the team discusses how someone with limitless potential fell flat on his face. Listen […]
