Experiencing the Manifold Grace of God
I have been so excited to recently blog my way through Roy Hession’s book, We Would See Jesus. These blog posts are designed as a Bible study companion through this amazing book. This is a 10 week study where you will find daily encouragement and easy homework assignments to help you focus on God’s Word. I hope it blesses you as much as it has me! This is the first time I have intentionally done an actual Bible study on the blog. If you would like to see more Bible study options in the future, please let me know! I love engaging with readers in discovering God’s Truth!

In 2018, when I originally sat down to write this post on chapter 2 of We Would See Jesus, it was Easter weekend. What a perfect time to be reading this particular chapter in our study! What better place is there to see God than at the cross? This week, we are going to focus [...]
"Before Abraham was, I Am"(John 8:58). One of my favorite sermon series my husband Erik has preached is on the "I Am" statements of Christ in the book of John. These statements are not just found in John, but throughout the whole Bible. It all began in Exodus 3:14 at the burning bush when "God [...]
As I begin this post, I am reminded how difficult it is for my fleshly heart to process this chapter. It's hard to see myself for what I really am apart from Christ! It's not fun. But as Roy explains, only as we are willing to see ourselves for who we really are (sinners), do [...]

“At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light and the burdens of my heart rolled away! It was there by faith I received my sight and now I am happy all the day.”

“We do not have to go beyond Jesus to something else to satisfy our needs. He is the end of all that we need, and the simple, easily accessible way to that end.” -Roy Hession
