1 Pita 2:15

Our desire to improve ourselves and make a heavenly mark in this life is a great thing as long as it doesn't come at the cost of pushing others out of their seat, in order to find our own. Join Pastor Jeff Gwaltney as he takes a look at how God prepares us now to join Him at heaven’s table.

Repentance is one of the key actions we all take in coming to know Christ as our personal Savior. Repentance is our action and forgiveness is God's reaction to us out of His perfect love for us. During this 5-day reading plan, you will receive a daily Bible reading and a brief devotional designed to help you better understand the importance of repentance in our walk with Christ.

This Life.Church Bible Plan is a study of 1 Peter to accompany Pastor Craig Groeschel’s series, Different . In this world, you’ll have struggles. You’ll face opposition. You’ll be challenged.

Jesus’ call for us to love our neighbours as ourselves includes people of other faiths, even if this puts us at risk of danger and shame. The Bible is clear that at times, the love of Christ may call us to suffer, even die for the sake of the gospel. Yet still we realize that our love should reach out to all people, including those scattered around the world.
