Hebrews 2:14–16 Devotional: In this devotional, we reflect on the profound truth that Jesus did not remain distant from human suffering—He stepped fully into it. He experienced grief, sorrow, betrayal, temptation, fear, and loss. He knows what it is to feel overwhelmed and weary. Jesus lived a real, difficult human life so that when we struggle, we don’t run to a distant God, but to a Savior who truly understands. Reflection: What is one area of your life where you feel worn down, discouraged, or burdened right now? How does knowing that Jesus truly understands your pain change the way you approach Him? Prayer Prompt: Thank God for sending Jesus not only to save you from sin, but to walk through suffering with you. Ask Him to meet you in your current struggle, to bring comfort, strength, and renewed hope as you lean on Him today.

Devotional: Adopted by God In this devotional, we discover that your adoption into God's family wasn't an afterthought—it was part of His eternal plan before the world even began. You don't have to earn your place or prove your worth. Through Jesus, you've been welcomed into God's family exactly as you are. Find comfort in knowing that your adoption is firm and unshakeable, and that your identity as God's beloved child can never be taken away. Reflection Questions: - How do you typically define your identity? (By your roles, accomplishments, struggles, relationships?) - What does it mean to you that God chose you for adoption before you could do anything to earn it? - How does it feel knowing you're loved and accepted right now—not for who you'll become, but for who you are today? Prayer Prompt: Ask God to help your heart truly believe that you have a permanent place in His family. Thank Him for the security and rest that comes from knowing you belong to Him—not because of what you've done, but because of what Jesus has done for you. ***Find all Video Devotionals in the Classroom tab***

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Reflection: What burden are you carrying that Jesus is asking you to bring to Him? Prayer Prompt: Offer that burden to God and ask for His rest.

- Devotional: In this devotional, we explore Jesus’ call to become childlike—trusting, humble, and dependent on our Father—rather than slipping into childish attitudes that hold us back. - Reflection: In what areas of your life is Jesus inviting you to grow in childlike trust, humility, or dependence? - Prayer Prompt: Ask God to reveal where you’ve been responding in childish ways, and pray for His strength to help you grow into a more childlike, faith-filled posture. ***Find all Video Devotionals in the Classroom tab***
