KEEP GOING. That is the message of the prophet Haggai to a people who had become disheartened in their labour for the LORD and doubtful of His presence with them. And the word of the LORD to them has much to say to encourage any of us who also have become discouraged in the work of God’s Kingdom and are tempted to just give up.

Life is full of competing priorities - but which one captures our heart? What is the thing that we love to spend our time, energy, and attention on? And what about the LORD – what place does to know and live for Him have in our life?

As we set aside time this Easter to remember and give thanks to the Lord for the salvation we have in Him our prayer is that we each would come to know Him more deeply and live lives that increasingly glorify Him.

To that end here are some Easter studies to help us to do just that. 

While we are not restricted to thinking about the Cross once a year, Easter allows us to set time aside, reflect deeply, give thanks, and celebrate what it means to us. Holy Week provides another opportunity to prepare our hearts to remember the events of Calvary, and our Lord who died there.

What does resilience in our walk with God look like and how can we persevere? The apostle Peter knew that his life was soon to be over when he wrote his second letter and he has much to teach us that will help us on our journey.
