Sometimes, we feel like giving up. We get discouraged and doubt our abilities to achieve our goals. But let me remind you of this powerful message from the book of Philippians in the Common English Bible translation: "I’m sure about this: the one who started a good work in you will stay with you to complete the job by the day of Christ Jesus."

This verse serves as a reminder that God has a plan for each and every one of us. He has started a good work in us, and He promises to see it through until completion. This means that no matter what challenges we may face, we can trust in God's faithfulness to complete what He has started.

NOW AVAILABLE FROM SUSAN ROBB
Remember the God who remembers us.

God’s covenants throughout the Old Testament show the character of God’s promises to the people of Israel. In this book, Susan Robb leads readers through the covenants with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David, followed by the new covenant established on Maundy Thursday. The Lenten story culminates with an examination of the cross as another example of God’s promise for a new world.

Susan Robb teaches readers the basic lessons of the covenants through a mixture of biblical history and personal stories. Her pastoral character and warm tone provide a basis for understanding God’s promises through history and the role of Jesus’s passion and crucifixion in the history of the covenants.

Remember can be read alone or used for a six-week group study and churchwide Lenten program. Components include a comprehensive Leader Guide and video teaching sessions featuring Susan (with closed captioning).
