In our third devotional in this week-long series on the marks of a true Christian, today we’re going to explore together what it means to rejoice in hope. In a world that can so often bring us down, so often appear to be without hope, today we have the opportunity to make room for God to give us his perspective, that we might rejoice in his hope. May God give us wisdom, joy, and eternal perspective today as we make space for him to fill. Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 12:12, and today's worship is Rattle by Elevation Worship.  -- God is the only One who can bring lasting transformation to our world as he transforms people’s hearts into the likeness of Christ.   It’s for this reason that we pray you’ll help reach the $216,584 Summer Initiative goal — knowing a $20,000 matching grant will DOUBLE your best gift to usher more people into God’s presence so they can be transformed by his grace and truth.   So please give today and please pray for our Summer Initiative!
