Hello and Welcome to a series of reflections called “Doing Theology from below.” These reflections are designed for those who want to explore a way of reading Scripture that is liberating, especially in vulnerable urban communities. Doing Theology from Below is learning how to read the text not “to” not “for” but “with” those we are called to love and serve and to do so with Jesus as our rabbi.

We tend to tell our children it’s time to grow up. Jesus tells adults it’s time to become like little children in order to enter His Kingdom. What does Jesus mean by this? What does it imply to be like a child, more specifically to be a child of God? Sign up for this reading plan to find out.

Over the next two weeks, we'll follow the Easter story as we remember there is always a glimmer of hope, even in the deepest darkness. We'll talk about how Jesus is with us in the darkness and explore what it means that Jesus is the light in the darkness.

Firm Foundation is more than just a study, it is an invitation to build your life on the solid rock of God's Word. As you journey through each day of foundational truths, you will be equipped to face life's challenges with confidence and hope as well as fall more in love with our Savior, Jesus Christ. May you find the stability and peace you seek in knowing and trusting the God who loves you deeply and has a perfect plan for your life.

What Is Worship? Worship Redefined by the Word This 12-week devotional plan helps you relearn worship—not as an action, but as being and direction. We often reduce worship to songs, emotions, atmosphere, or an hour on Sunday, but biblical worship is far deeper and wider. Worship begins with knowing who God is and shapes how we live before Him. Through balanced readings in the Old Testament, New Testament, and Psalms, this plan leads you step by step: the essence of worship → the posture of a worshiper → the life of a worshiping leader.

Are you feeling anxious this season? Overwhelmed? Craving a deeper friendship with Jesus? Allow your heart to open to the wonder of Christmas in this 15-day reading plan. Jesus the High Priest knows and loves you, and longs for you to ask sacred questions. This plan starts with an opening prayer, a passage of Scripture to read, a short devotional, questions for reflection, and ends with a prayer of response.

We all want to belong, be accepted and know that we are loved. When we place our trust in the Lord and accept Jesus as our Savior, we are adopted into God’s forever family and are called his beloved children. The testimony of Scripture is that we belong—unconditionally. Writer and pastor Nancy Boote shares her experiences as an adoptee in this 15-day series from Words of Hope.

It happens to us all. Conflicting messages cloud our vision. Pain and suffering wear our faith thin. Whether you've been following Him for a few days or a few years, we understand how easy it is to lose sight of who God truly is. Join us on a 15-day journey into the character of God. Be reminded how glorious He is, and how much He cares for you.

John is all about Jesus! This 16-day plan will walk you through the book of John by reading only 1-2 chapters a day. Each day is accompanied by a short devotional and video that explains what’s happening and shows you how each part of the story points to Jesus and his Gospel.

Every great adventure has a starting point, a beginning place that launches the exhilarating expedition. Such is the extraordinary journey of the Christian faith. Let’s build a firm foundation of eight basic Bible truths, taking two days at a time for exploring: the power of God’s Word, His love, why the cross, grace, Holy Spirit resurrection power, intimacy with God, transforming repentance, and the gift of spiritual warfare.

Our kind of Christmas isn’t working. The status quo of our holiday season pushes us into busyness, distraction, and exhaustion instead of the rest and relief that Jesus came to bring. This Plan redirects us to God’s kind of Christmas, where we slow down, catch our breath, read everything the gospels say about the birth of Jesus, and remember everything that is ours through faith in our Prince of peace.

Step into the wonder of the season with a devotional series designed to guide your heart from the quiet awe of Christ’s birth to the bold hope of a new year. As we journey through Advent, we realise the thrill of hope found in the birth of Emmanuel - a hope we can carry as we prepare for a new year to come. Anchor your soul in the One who came to dwell among us and still leads us forward.

No one wants to be a slave. We don’t like to be restrained or told what to do or how we should live. We love our freedom and resent any constraints. Being happy, enjoying life, that’s what it’s all about. Realistically, that goal can only be achieved if you live according to God’s commandments. They will free you because our wise God is your Creator.

Advent comes from the Latin adventus , meaning “arrival, approach.” During this season leading up to Christmas, we reflect on the longing of God’s people for the Messiah, which was fulfilled in the arrival of Jesus—God made flesh, Light from Light, wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. Advent has another purpose, too: drawing our spiritual gaze toward the future when, as we affirm in the Nicene Creed, Jesus “will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.” This resource will guide you through both aspects of Advent reflection.

Spend 18 days studying passages in the New Testament with America's Pastor, Chuck Swindoll. As you read his thoughts, imagine him sitting next to you sharing personal insights and spiritual truths. Taken from the Swindoll Study Bible, this reading plan will help you walk closer with Jesus and gain a deeper understanding of how to apply God's Word to your life.

The Bible is one of the most influential books of all time, but it can seem overwhelming to know how to understand it and what to do with it. This 18-day Bible study will help break down what the Bible is, why it matters, and how you can understand it today. We’ll also discover how you can put God’s Word in action in His world.

This three week plan walks us through the timeless wonder of how God came to us through His son, Jesus. The plan is designed to begin on a Monday so that each weekend will include shorter content meant for rest and reflection during the holiday season. Join us as we study what the birth of Christ means for our future, present, and past.

“This Christmas season let’s remember that God’s promises are not like ours – fragile and sometimes forgotten – but are firm, fulfilled and forever. In every wrapped gift, flickering Christmas tree light and sung carol, may we see a reflection of the ultimate gift: Jesus, the righteous branch – our everlasting hope.” (The Promise of a Righteous Branch – Robbie Parkin)

A meditation on John inspired by the 15th Century devotional ‘Imitation of Christ.’ In 2011 Chris Webster, a professor with positions at Hong Kong and Cambridge Universities, awoke from a 4 day coma. He started writing JohnBlog as spiritual instructions for his teenage daughter and son should he not return from a second cardiac arrest. This also tells everyone why he exuberantly loves life but considers death as gain.
