Weekly Devotional
Week One: Motivated by Love
Our God is a God of love. He calls us to stand firm in our faith, to be courageous and to live each day with strength and confidence in His promises.
Week Two: Be on Your Guard
What does ‘being on guard’ look like, and how might it apply to our sacrificial giving for this Self-Denial season?
Week Three: Stand Firm
How easy it is to place our faith in the things of this world? But because of Jesus, we can stand firm even when everything else feels unstable.
Week Four: Be Courageous
Did you know the word ‘courage’ originally came from the word for ‘heart’? Not all of us would say we feel courageous, but all of us have a heart. When Jesus strengthens our heart, it becomes something more than an organ.
Week Five: Be Strong
What do you picture when you hear the word ‘strong’? All of us are called to be strong in the Lord, dedicating our lives to make the love of God evident to all.
Week Six: Do Everything In Love
The Self-Denial Appeal is an invitation for followers of Jesus Christ to partner with our Lord. It is an opportunity to follow his example by giving and living sacrificially, motivated by love.
