A friend comes to you who is hurting. They share painful details of a trial they are in. They are looking to you for comfort. What do you do? What do you say? Here are five questions our hearts ask when we're hurting, and how to help answer those questions with truth...

Let this blow your mind: The same God that made and sustains the world with His word will keep you and sustain you with His Word...

As Christians called to the gospel mission, we are also called to one another. In relationship. Living life together as a family. That can be a great blessing, but it can also a great challenge. And that’s exactly what God intended...
