Getting Started

Welcome to week 1 of our Summer Weekly Devotional! Each week, we'll be posting a devotional written by Greek IV staff. Set aside 5 or 10 minutes to read the devotional and reflect on the passage. Our hope is that you will grow in your faith this summer through regular time in God's Word. In today's passage, Jesus is with his disciples at his friend Simon's house.

Choose Love: The Fourth Week of Advent

A few weeks ago I went to visit my grandfather. My parents & I sat down in the living room after a lovely dinner & began to watch a Hallmark movie. About thirty minutes into the movie my grandfather walked in.

Experience Joy: The Third Week of Advent

The third week of Advent is "Gaudete Sunday" or "Joy Sunday". The Christmas season is filled with a mix of emotions. Maybe you passed your exams with flying colors or maybe you just failed a final and the stress is boiling over. Or perhaps you're excited to go home and see your family, but nervous about handling questions about your future.

Embrace Wonder: The Second Week of Advent

My church celebrates Advent with the lighting of a candle on the Advent wreath every Sunday. Each Sunday, a family stands up fron to lead us in God's Word. The children, rather than the parents, read out what the candle means.
