How can serving others lead to spiritual danger? Peter Greer, HOPE International's president & CEO, shares how his noble intentions got off track—and how he got back on course. His story provides valuable lessons for anyone serving in ministry. Based on The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good, by Peter Greer with Anna Haggard, published by Bethany House, a division of Baker Publishing Group, in 2014. Used by permission.
More than a name, Emmanuel is a declaration of heaven meeting Earth: God with us in despair, struggle, and brokenness. At Christmas, God came to redeem people in need of a Savior and light the darkness with His love. As we remember and celebrate His coming, we'll explore how Jesus’ followers can bring His holy, healing presence into a broken world.
Despite our almost constant interaction with others, surveys reveal that we feel more alone than ever. This five-part devotional series, designed for individual or small-group study, reveals God’s own longing for community and explores how to pursue wholeness in our relationships today in light of His perfect design.
When we approach God with our dreams and desires, we often focus on what we don’t have. We tell Him we could do more if He’d give us more skills or resources. We compare what we’ve been given to the gifts of others. And often, our patient Father responds with an unexpected question: What’s in your hands?
Jesus’ longest recorded prayer was for the unity of His followers. Yet we find ourselves in a time of deep division. Uncover the forces that undermine our unity in Christ; discover practical recommendations to combat division; and explore how collaboration and generosity increase our Kingdom impact.
In today’s world, the topic of diversity is messy, difficult, and often divisive. In this five-day study, we explore what the Bible says about the subject, from celebrating our diversity of talents to the grand vision of every tribe, tongue, and nation joining together to worship God. Written by HOPE staff, this study draws on our experience working across multiple countries and cultures.
In this five-day reading plan, discover why Christian innovation is not simply a human effort to improve or create new value. It is part of the Creator’s identity and therefore part of ours, as His creation. To innovate, Christians follow the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to better serve others, point people to Christ, and steward what God has given us to restore this world to Him, for His glory.
Followers of Christ are called to be and make disciples, but it’s not always easy to know what that looks like in the day-to-day of our busy lives. This study shares tips on integrating Christ into your personal life, family, church, or work. It’s based on the lessons learned by HOPE, as we’ve studied Scripture and implemented discipleship efforts in our own lives and in the field.
In a world that can seem meaningless at times—especially in midlife—God offers perspective that anchors us, renews us, and propels us into fulfillment, mission, and service. Drawing on the wisdom of Ecclesiastes, HOPE International President Peter Greer and Willowdale Chapel Senior Pastor Greg Lafferty offer insight for fresh clarity and purpose.
With over 2,000 verses about poverty, the Bible reveals God’s heart for those in need—and His call for Christ followers to walk with them. This five-day reading plan offers a biblical perspective, broadening our definition of poverty and laying a solid groundwork for responding with loving action.
In this devotional collaboration of worldwide staff and friends of HOPE International, you will explore the Scriptures and the hope that comes through relationship with God through Christ for the next 100 days.
