Broken Heart? Here's Why God Lets You Break Before Revival Comes
If your heart feels crushed right now, this message will show you why God sometimes allows deep brokenness right before revival — and why that pain doesn't mean He has left you.
In today's Daily Hope, we look at Isaiah 53:10, where "it was the Lord's good plan" to crush Jesus for our redemption, and Psalm 51, where David describes the broken and contrite heart that leads to true repentance. Whe
Why Do We Suffer? By His Wounds We Are Healed
Why do we suffer, and where is God when it hurts? Isaiah 52-53 answers that question hundreds of years before Jesus ever went to the cross, describing a suffering servant who would be pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our sins, and silent before His accusers even though He could have called ten thousand angels to stop it.

Why Spiritual Opposition Means You're On the Right Track

Nothing Can Separate You From God's Love, Even When You Feel Surrounded (Romans 8:38-39)
