JONAH: MERCY, OBEDIENCE & PURPOSE This week’s lesson centered on the story of Jonah and the powerful reminder that God’s mercy often comes in the form of redirection. Jonah’s attempt to run from God’s assignment showed us that we can never escape God’s presence or His purpose for our lives. We discussed how the storms and resistance we encounter are not always attacks from the enemy but can be God’s way of guiding us back to His will. The teaching challenged us to examine our

WISDOM FOR THE JOURNEY This week in Hadassah Arise, Lady V reminded us that wisdom is more than knowing what is right it is having the maturity, self-control, and discernment to respond God’s way instead of reacting emotionally. Through Proverbs 1–18, we learned that wisdom guards our hearts, guides our relationships, and shapes our words. We were challenged to seek understanding before reacting, embrace correction as a gift, and recognize that the company we keep and the wo

the comeback queen This week, we were reminded that God is always calling us back to Him. Through Psalm 119:129-176, we are challenged to renew our hunger for God’s Word, choose praise in every season, and trust that even difficult seasons are producing growth. No matter where we are in our journey, God’s invitation remains the same: come back, come closer, and come deeper. The comeback begins when we respond to His call.

A SURRENDERED HEART The Psalms remind us that God meets us in every season of life. This week, we were challenged to move beyond behavior change and allow God to transform our hearts. David’s prayer in Psalm 51, “Create in me a clean heart, O God,” reminds us that conviction is not punishment—it is God’s loving call to restoration. We were encouraged to examine what we are consuming, what influences we allow into our lives, and whether anything has taken God’s place in our he

LORD, FORGIVE ME IF I MISHANDLED YOUR PRESENCE This week, we reflected on the holiness of God’s presence through the life of David and the Ark of the Covenant. We were reminded that good intentions never replace obedience as we discussed Uzzah touching the Ark and the importance of honoring God’s instructions fully. The lesson challenged us to examine how we are handling God’s presence in our jobs, relationships, households, and daily lives, praying, “Lord, forgive me if I mi

TRUST THE CAVE This week in Hadassah Arise, Lady V walked us through 1 Samuel, reminding us that God is concerned about both the promise and the process. Through the lives of Hannah, Saul, and David, we were reminded that obedience, surrender, and patience are necessary for spiritual maturity. David’s wilderness season showed us that the cave was never punishment, but preparation for what God had already ordained. Just because the process is uncomfortable does not mean God ha
