Spend five days with Dr. Ramesh Richard, president of RREACH (a Global Proclamation Ministry) and professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, as he reflects on three Christmas carols and offers pastoral insights on how you can maximize the meaning of Christmas this year.

Journey to the Jordan to reflect on the baptism of Jesus and His call to us to believe, repent, and follow Him. Find Jesus there. This is part three of eight in the "Jesus, I Need You" series by Thistlebend Ministries, focusing on drawing closer to Jesus. The plans in this series can be done in any order. See also "Jesus, I Need You" (companion prayer).

Do you ever feel that Mark skipped a crucial part of Jesus’s story? Without telling of Jesus’s miraculous birth, can we still see the reality that God became a person? The answer is yes. In this video Bible study, created in partnership between RightNow Media and Francis Chan, Francis asks us, “Have you really considered the immensity of that statement—of the event in which God became a man?”

Deeper into Scripture is a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God’s Word daily and deeply. To accomplish this we have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times. Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered. This repetitive reading and instruction takes us deeply into the Word of God and draws us closer to Him.

Life doesn’t always go the way we expected. You pray with faith, but God doesn’t do what you asked. You seek Him but don’t feel His presence. You’re going through pain, but your cries for relief seem to go unanswered. This Life.Church Bible Plan will guide you through Scriptures to read When God Doesn’t Make Sense.

This 7-day reading plan invites readers to go the way of the Cross with Jesus as chronicled by Mark, a close disciple of the Apostle Peter. Starting with a call to follow Jesus and carrying through to His death, the reader will be visually transported into these important moments in Jesus’ history. Join with God on the way of the cross in this video-based, 7-day reading plan and allow it to revolutionize the way you engage with God’s Word.

Jesus made bold claims, both in who He was and what His mission was on the Earth. Journey with us through the Gospel of Mark and take a closer look at His proclamations and promises. Refresh your heart with the hope of salvation through these seven daily devotionals.

Christian Vision for Men (CVM) have put together this collection of thoughts based on how stuff works, and in particular, prayer, the Bible and church. If you have never been to church, (except for the odd funeral or wedding) never picked up a Bible (to read it anyway) and haven’t really prayed before then this could be for you. Here at CVM we work hard at communicating who Jesus Christ is, the truth, without any gloss or confusing ‘Christian’ language, just simple stuff, honest answers about how this stuff works.

Everywhere, festive lights illuminate the streets, the fragrance of pine and cinnamon fills the air, and for several weeks, Christmas carols have returned to the radio. Each of these carols seems more beautiful than the last, and this week I’d like to (re)discover these lyrics that magnify the person of Jesus, our Savior.

All die - few genuinely live. All are born slaves - some become conquerors. All men are warriors. God calls us, like He called Joshua, out of slavery to become more than conquerors, more than warriors. Are you ready to stop existing in bondage and start thriving in freedom? This heavy-duty stand-alone plan is also part 1 of a 10 part series.
