Graduation is a monumental milestone in a person's life. Many years of hard work is being acknowledged! Graduates from the current year have displayed a new level of resiliency by staying focused during a global pandemic. Their strength and perseverance during such uncertainty is something that should be celebrated.
Whether it be high school, college, or beyond, a graduation marks the beginning of a new chapter. Jeremiah 29:11-13 offers hope for the future ahead. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Congratulations, graduate! We hope that the messages below will offer encouragement and hope for your future.
Working the Plan
In high school, we strategically plan for graduation. In college, we focus on our goals for a future career. And when we get married or build a family, we establish new plans for our home and kids. But how often do we map out an intentional strategy for our spiritual life? On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez challenges us to be purposeful about our walk with God.

Graduation Wishes
It’s graduation season. If you were giving the speech, what would you say? Many graduation speeches by famous people have pointed students back to themselves. Tim Cook, CEO of Apple said, “Trust your intuition, and then work with everything you have to prove it right.” I wouldn’t point my graduating son, Brennan, back to himself. I’d let Solomon speak: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
