If you’ve made it to this final week of our study, congratulations! If, on the other hand, you’re just joining in today – we’re so glad you’re here! There is truth here for you, and we pray that the Spirit of Truth will encourage you this week.

We’ve spent our Shine Time reading various Bible passages that point out just who God says we are. The world and the people who live in it may try to call us names, define us by their standards, and judge us by their ideas. But the most important place to find our true identity is in Christ. Who does He say that you are?

Once again, this week’s daily Shine Time passages point you to solid, encouraging evidence that you are His creation, made with purpose and with a hope and a future.

I’ve Been Called

Romans 8:26-30 26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know…

I Am Secure

Romans 8:31-39 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is…

I Am More Than a Pretty Face
