This series focuses on building three types of community: between you and God, between you and self, and you and others. We will focus initially on the first Christian community found in Acts 2:42-47 which showcases the purity of devotion each believer had to God and each other. As their community grew stronger, so did their faith as God added to their number day by day.

Through the centuries, the mere thought of Jerusalem has stirred the deepest feelings in both Jews and Christians. Jerusalem - Jerusalem, the city of the living God! Jesus wept over Jerusalem wherein the temple of the Lord stood. The prophet Isaiah spoke of this city and place in Isaiah 2:2-3. In the history and prophecies of Israel, there are references to four temples we will study in this plan.

Peace. Who among us doesn’t long for the state of mind and heart that is quiet and calm? A place where our inner being is as tranquil and undisturbed as a quiet lake?

Acts is the story of God’s power at work in this world, for you and through you.

In this 6-day devotional, James Hamilton guides readers through Scripture and enables them to pause and treasure God’s glory.

Many of us have thought about what our heavenly home will be like. In Plan 13 of Revelation, we read the description of heaven and start painting all these wonderful pictures in our minds. But we will never come close to picturing what God our Father has in store for us. So let us take heed of Jesus final message in Revelation and make sure we don’t miss out on what God is preparing for us.

When you read the Bible it is impossible to ignore that Israel had a special place in God’s plan for this world. But what is that plan exactly? What is God’s purpose with Israel? Is the history of this people just a complicated preface to the birth of Jesus Christ and nothing more? Or can we expect more from Israel? Join us in discovering the answers through this reading plan!

Ben-Hur is rich with universal Christian themes. This Plan includes video devotionals from several Christian leaders discussing clips from the film, relevant teaching, and supporting Scripture.

Waiting is uncomfortable. At best, it can be painfully boring, and at worst it can be full of uncertainty and fear. But this year, we invite you to think about waiting in a new way. The season of Advent is a season when we wait, not just for Christmas, but for Christ Himself, and as we wait for Christ, we are invited to participate in God’s work.

Our life journey as believers can be likened to a climb. We walk towards higher ground where God wants to reveal Himself, increase our capacity, process us to be like Him, and finally enable us to fulfill His calling. Through these devotionals, we learn about the meaning of a higher place and see new things. May you have a happy climbing to the higher ground!

Advent is a season of waiting, remembering, and rejoicing. We wait for Christ’s return, celebrating His first coming even as we wait and long for His return. We remember the brokenness of our world and how He will bring restoration and wholeness when He comes. And we praise Him, remembering the joy we have as we place our hope in Christ. The God Who Restores Bible study journal leads us through the season of Advent, a season of waiting and great expectation of our coming by through our eternal King.

Stop. Look. Experience. This is the difference between mediocrity and your true calling. Beyond the everyday grind, there is a sea of possibilities: your own, God-given potential. You are unique, trusted with talents meant only for you. You could be a trailblazer, a sports hero, or even a president! We are going to deconstruct the DNA of Potential by focusing on specific areas: from recognizing your special value to giving your gift back to the Creator. Take a moment every day to activate the fullness of your calling.

Who is Jesus? What is his character like? Must we be afraid as God approaches us? Is he truly who he claims to be? Is Jesus accessible to everyone? In this devotion we will explore all of this and more.

The Middle East. Constantly in the news. Ardently in our hearts. The cradle of civilization and the launching of the Gospel of Jesus.

Join us daily in prayer for the Middle East nations where millions have yet to hear the message of love, hope, peace, and power in Christ. Your intercession can break strongholds, strengthen believers, and transform entire communities. Let’s begin praying together today!
