Theme: In Christ we find the wisdom to grow through life's tests.

What is the boast of our churches?

In times of testing we can sing for joy for the comfort God will bring to us.

While we may feel all alone in the dark valleys of life, we can rest assured, for Jesus is our shepherd.

Our responsibility is not to curse the darkness, but to fan the flame of our faith.

This psalm assures us that while we must walk through great waters, God walks with us even though we may not see his footprints.

When we do not know what to say, the Spirit prays for us with groaning unable to be expressed by language.
Our confidence is not found in our goodness, but rather in that by grace through faith God has redeemed and renewed us; therefore, our changed life is evidence of God's grace.
Do we have a faith that will remain true when the "war drums" sound in our lives?
