Sam 111:2

Worship is central to the Christian life. Here is a reflection on what it means to hold fast to faith in the midst of life’s trials...a message that inspires Christians to connect the dots between singing the song and living the life. Based on Matt Redman's new book 10,000 Reasons.

This 5-day reading plan will remind readers that God is only ever a prayer away and will encourage them to remember that He is always by their side. Each day features thoughts about God’s presence in their everyday lives, and ends with a prayer. The content for this reading plan is based on Nina Smit’s book “God Is Close to You”.

Becoming all that God has created us to be in Christ is not a solo pursuit. On the contrary, formation into the likeness of Christ happens in community. In this reading plan, we will explore five spiritual disciplines - prayer, worship, study, Sabbath, and celebration - all of which open us to life with God in community, so that we might become more like Jesus for the sake of others.
