Feeling weak? You don’t have to lean on your own strength.
God doesn’t just save you and leave you to figure it out. He stays. He helps. He gives you what you need, moment by moment.
And somehow, he becomes more than our strength — he becomes our song. Our joy.
The deepest joy isn’t found in what God gives us. It’s found in God himself.

Have you ever wondered, “Do I really need to read the Old Testament?”
The answer is yes.
Because God didn’t preserve these books by accident. He gave them to help his people know him, trust him, and recognize his Son.
