Summary

In the last devotional of this series on God’s promises, today we’re looking at the promise of his return. The suffering and pain we’re experiencing right now is not for forever. There is a conclusion to this story, to all of our stories. And that conclusion is being written by a God so good, so loving, and so powerful, that we know this story of humanity ends triumphantly. So may God fill us with hope, peace, and passion today as we take time to focus on his return.

Our Scripture for today comes from John 14:2-3. Today's worship is Come Again by Come Again | Elevation Worship & Maverick City.

A First15 reader, Kim, recently shared with us, “Thank you for this blessing. It is like a balm to my soul. You are bringing the love of Christ to me.”

When you help reach the $216,584 Summer Initiative goal, you’ll be a part of connecting more people like Kim with God.

If you haven’t given yet — or you’re led to give again — please do so today.
