FINDING GOD'S GUIDANCE IN LIFE'S IN BETWEEN SEASONS
Life often places us in difficult in-between seasons where we're caught between God's promise and its fulfillment. David's experience in Psalm 27 shows us how to navigate these uncertain times through studying God's Word. When David prayed teach me your way, Lord, he demonstrated that true maturity recognizes our complete dependence on God. The Bible serves as our comprehensive playbook, containing specific guidance for spiritual warfare, trust and alignment, crisis response, and waiting on God. David consistently inquired of the Lord before making decisions, teaching us the importance of pausing before acting. Even in cave moments of difficulty, we can trust that God is working behind the scenes and hasn't brought us this far to abandon us.
Growing In The Waiting
Exile: Growing in the Waiting is a faith-building teaching resource designed to encourage believers who feel stuck, displaced, or in an in-between season of life. Rooted in Jeremiah 29 and the biblical experience of exile, this resource reframes waiting seasons not as rejection, but as purposeful moments of preparation, growth, and divine positioning.
Through Scripture, reflection, and practical application, Exile reminds us that God is still at work even when life feels paused. It challenges readers to keep building, planting, and investing—spiritually, relationally, and faithfully—while trusting that God’s plans are still unfolding. Rather than pressing pause on life, this teaching calls believers to flourish where they are and remain anchored in hope.
This resource is especially meaningful for anyone navigating transition, disappointment, uncertainty, or delayed promises. It offers encouragement, reflection questions, and action steps that help individuals stay connected to God, community, and purpose while waiting for restoration.
Whether used for personal devotion, small group discussion, or church-wide study, Exile: Growing in the Waiting points us to a powerful truth: the season you’re in is shaping your story—and God is faithful, even now.
FINDING YOUR WAY BACK TO GOD
When we fail, God doesn't abandon us but rushes to restore us. Through the story of David and Nathan, we learn that God sends people to help us see our sin clearly, not to shame us but to rescue us. Temptation is meant to be temporary, but when we entertain it, it leads to more sin. True repentance means calling sin what it is and turning away from it completely, not just apologizing. God's restoration is immediate when we genuinely repent, though consequences may remain. The key is desiring God's presence more than our position or comfort, and staying aligned with our purpose while stepping away from sin.
A CALL TO HOLY LIVING
Romans 1 describes humanity's rejection of God and the moral decline that follows, but many believers today exhibit similar characteristics. The passage reveals how people traded God's truth for lies and were abandoned to shameful desires. Christians must examine whether they're living differently than unbelievers or have normalized sin in their lives. True repentance means turning from wickedness and not returning, requiring a lifestyle of holiness rather than occasional remorse. The solution involves returning to God's Word, being led by the Holy Spirit, and maintaining biblical community for accountability.
