EASTER AT RISE CHURCH!

From Doubt to Destiny 5-Day Devotions

DAILY DEVOTIONS 
Ready to dig deeper into your faith? Our weekly 5-day devotionals are like a guided conversation with the sermon. We'll ask questions, share Bible verses, and help you uncover amazing things about God and yourself! There is a new set posted each Sunday after the service.

Day 1: Prioritizing God's Call
Scripture: Genesis 12:1-4

Reflection: Abraham left his entire world because God called. Leaving the familiar is scary, but obedience opens doors to blessings we can't imagine.

Reflective Questions: What familiar thing do I need to leave to better follow God? Am I willing to obey even when it doesn't make sense?

Action Step: Identify one thing you're clinging to that might hinder your obedience to God's call. Take a step to let it go.

Prayer: God, give me the courage to prioritize Your call over my comfort.


Day 2: Long-Term Vision
Scripture: Genesis 15:5-6

Reflection: Abraham believed God's promise about future descendants even when it seemed impossible. Faith requires believing even when we don't fully see.

Reflective Questions: What promise of God am I struggling to believe in? Am I focused on my circumstances or His power?

Action Step: Write down the promise you're struggling with. Find supporting scriptures and post them where you'll see them regularly.

Prayer: Lord, help me develop a long-term perspective, trusting Your plan even when I don't see the way.


Day 3: Pilgrim Mentality
Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-10

Reflection: Abraham lived in tents, reminding him that this world was not his true home. This focus helped him avoid getting too attached to worldly possessions.

Reflective Questions: What am I focused on accumulating rather than pursuing God? How can I simplify my life to prioritize what truly matters?

Action Step: Choose one area to declutter (physical space, commitments, emotional baggage).

Prayer: God, free me from the weight of worldly things so I can pursue You wholeheartedly.


Day 4: Persevering Through Uncertainty
Scripture: Romans 4:18-21

Reflection: Abraham hoped against hope, and his faith was credited to him as righteousness. Even when we don't know how things will work out, we can trust God's character.

Reflective Questions: What situation leaves me feeling uncertain and afraid? Am I focusing on the problem or on God's ability to provide a solution?

Action Step: Identify one verse about God's faithfulness that combats your worry. Memorize it.

Prayer: Lord, when doubt washes over me, ground me in the truth of Your character.


Day 5: Faith Through Community
Scripture: Galatians 6:2, Hebrews 10:24-25

Reflection: Abraham and Sarah walked the journey together. We need people who will support and encourage our faith.

Reflective Questions: Who in my life strengthens my faith? How can I better support someone else's faith journey?

Action Step: Reach out to someone in your faith community for encouragement or prayer.

Prayer: God, thank you for placing people in my life who bolster my faith. Help me do the same for others.
