Evening Encouragements With Pastor Jeremy

King David knew his sin. But he also knew his God. His God removes guilt. His God saves. His God is our God.

The LORD takes responsibility for your life - for providing the help you need, the deliverance, and even for your salvation. Find refuge in him. You're going to be ok.

The future God has prepared for you through Jesus is the best one of all.

Those who follow God's guidance in the Bible never regret it. The Lord is near. You don't need to be anxious about anything.

Good times are often followed by times of trouble. God knows this. It's why he sent Jesus - to protect us forever. 

We gain the best insight into God's care for our lives by looking at the life of Jesus - at his refusal to forsake anyone in need, and at his ability to provide.

Jesus came to save only one type of person - the one who needs saving. Christmas means that you are saved.

God always knows how to find you. He uses that knowledge - always - to love you.

At Christmas, we don't see a little God in the manger. Jesus IS God. He is Immanuel, which means "God Is with Us."

In Jesus, you are an overcomer. Of everything. 

Feeling unnoticed, unappreciated, unloved, or unworthy this Christmas? Then the Savior born at Christmas is just for you.

If anger is an unwelcome guest in your holiday season, remember the LORD we put our hope in. Remember his forgiveness. Remember his love.

Waiting can be hard. But waiting for God always means waiting on a love that will care for you well.

The way God leads is not always the way we would choose. But he never fails to walk with us on whatever way we go.

You have desires in your heart related to Christmas. Related to life. Important desires. Before looking for what you desire, look to the Lord and his great desire to care for you. 

All people eventually die. God's great love for you does not. Trust him. Do what he says is good. He will not fail to care for you.

In a world where we're never far from hurt and also never far from God's grace, it's good to pray for God's love, knowing he'll never withhold it from us.

Are you feeling the coldness of life? Think of the times Jesus brought warmth to those around him. Remember that he carries the same love for you.

Like a fountain that keeps flowing, Jesus keeps giving. All his love. All his forgiveness. All his grace. He knows what you need. He'll always provide.

There are many aspects of the holiday season we find delightful. But nothing is more delightful than God's care of our lives in Christ.

You don't need to prove yourself to God. What Jesus earned, he earned for all. 

God has already promised to love you with his very best. That love costs you nothing. It's yours. Now and forever.

God always and only uses his strength for our benefit.

Every promise God has made, he will keep. There is no end to his faithfulness.

We have limits. We face them all the time. We get tired, guilty, and discouraged. But there is no limit to what we need most. There is no limit to God's love for you.

Whether you're seeing evil in the life of someone near you or within your own heart, the answer to it is the same: The LORD's love is for all. Even you. Even them.

You may not see God, but he's with you. You may not feel his presence, but it's always right next to you.

You mean so much to God. How do we know? Look at the life of Jesus. It's all entirely focused on loving you.

There's hope for the poor, weak, needy, ignorant, and sad. Our hope is Jesus, who came to rescue us all.

You've been hurt by people. David was too. He trusted the LORD to push those wounds away from owning his future. You can too.

Whatever God needs to care for your life, he always has it. He will not fail to use it for your benefit.

Whenever you're in need of help, you have it. Our God will never fail to contend for you.

You're never far from our Jesus who can do anything, and will do everything necessary to love you.

It's often difficult to believe that God is attentive to our lives. But God's full, undivided, loving attention is what Jesus earned for us all.

Everything Jesus did on Good Friday says the same thing. He is good to all. He is good to you.

Whatever it is that's making you afraid, God will deliver you from it. He will. Jesus earned you the right to believe it.

Jesus didn't fail to love anyone. Even Judas. He will never fail to love you. Put your hope in him.

God anticipated our weakness against death and sent Jesus to deliver us from it. Jesus is strong against death so we don't have to be.

We can't control much in life. So God gave us the victory in Jesus. No effort on our part required. Ever.

God's purpose is loving you. His plans to love you always work. And his power to carry out those plans will never fail.

Wherever you are, whatever condition you're in, God will love you. The earth is full of his love. There isn't a place you can go where you won't be loved by him.

God has always been skilled at keeping his Word. You can rely on what he says. God is with you, just as he has promised.

God is happy to love you. You're always in his care and therefore always in a good place.

As David sought refuge in a cave, we seek refuge in Christ and in his wounds of love.

When you pray to God, remember that he is greater than anything. He is greater than everything. He can do it.

You don't need to wait to live like you're forgiven. In the Bible, forgiveness immediately follows a confession of sin. Immediately. 

The God against whom we sin is the same God who has already, in Jesus, declared you to be forgiven.

There's no need to hide your sins any longer. Every sin you confess is forgiven.

God keeps no count of your sins. He only counts to your credit the one sacrifice of Jesus that forgave them all.

We never need to fear being caught in a sin. Each of our sins that is uncovered is entirely covered by the payment Jesus offered on the cross. God doesn't see your sins. They are now covered and unseeable to even him.
