Cup of Hope: Advent: Faith & Virtue
What is virtue? Virtue is moral excellence, it is the gauge of knowing between right and wrong. We are tempted to be swayed to and fro with blurry lines of right and wrong. 2 Peter 1:5a tells us to add to our faith (that God provides all we need) virtue. Virtue is our gift back to God!
I encourage you to examine your virtue, and use Proverbs 31 (a wife of noble character) as a guideline for your life.
Advent is a season of longing for the long-expected Savior. As we long for Jesus' return, let's get our lives in order, watch and pray and be ready for His return.

Cup of Hope: Advent: Divine Power
The holidays are not "holly jolly" for some. Some of us are experiencing pain, heartache, sadness due to loss, sickness and tragedies. With this in mind, we will study together 2 Peter 1:3-8.
Today's Cup of Hope, we dive into verses 3-4 which teach us of the divine power that is available to us that gives us ALL THINGS necessary for godly living.
Whether your holiday is light-hearted and festive or you are struggling to find joy this year, know that through Christ, God has given us everything we need to walk through and live a life of godliness.

Be devoted. Romans 12:10a
We dig into Romans 12:10a - which tells us we are to be devoted to one another in love. The result of devotion is belonging. Devotion looks like vows, looks like a ring, looks like a decision to love and welcome others as family. Open doors and open arms.

Cup of Hope: Relationship Secrets: Stop Pretending
Today on Cup of Hope we look at Romans 12:9, which tells us to not just pretend to love other, but really love them.
Ouch. Who are you pretending to love? Putting on the nice face in public but gossiping behind closed doors?
It happens easily, before we know it. If we are not careful about our thoughts, and expressions.
God can change our hearts and help us love others.
Join us, and let God change you from the inside out.
