VIKHOLWA 13:2-3

Join Hillsong East Coast’s online experience and walk through this corresponding plan. This plan is based on Pastor Brian Houston's December 2020 message, "The Contagious Nature of the Church". Read through God’s Word within each devotional and reflect through guided questions for both individual consideration and group discussion. We pray it encourages you to reframe your reality.

This reading plan takes you through some of the themes in the "Clean (part 2)" episode of The Chosen TV Series. Reflect, dive into the Bible, and enjoy what Jesus has to say to you.

What does it take for dreams to become reality? Dreams come true, but what does it take for dreams to become reality? It takes effort and commitment. First of all, you need to seek the Lord to know if your dreams are in His perfect will. Pray and fast; allow Him to speak to you. Then be led by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, and surround yourself with people whom you trust, those who will stand by you and help you to achieve your God-given dreams. Not only will your vision and dream give you the motivation and commitment to discipline your life, it will also inspire and affect others around you to live out their dreams in Christ.

Of all the apostles, Paul’s conversion/calling story was arguably the most notable and miraculous, his assignment to take the Gospel to the Gentiles the most unique, and the tangible results of his obedience the most impressive by human standards. Even so, Paul did not operate as a lone wolf, set apart from the pack and self-sufficient. On the contrary, this hero of the Christian faith understood the essential role his brothers and sisters played in his life and stayed connected to them even when his assignment to preach and live truth called him away for long stretches of time.
