"Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." This prayer is challenging to live by. At times, like Peter, we might wish to hold onto our resentment towards those who seem deserving of it. Yet, Jesus reminds us that we are forgiven so that we may forgive, especially when it's tough!

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.

You probably know that Christians are meant to be loving people. But sometimes that ideal can seem far from the reality. Perhaps we’re not starting from the right place. Loving others can only happen if we understand what God means by love. Let’s take a look at the biblical call to love.

This week we’re focusing on understanding and praying for Hollywood, the world’s most influential mission field. Christians in Hollywood are on the front lines of ministry and they need prayer and support.  So, our prayer is that you will catch the vision of the importance and global impact of Hollywood and choose to pray for the people there as you watch films, TV shows, hear music, and play video games.

Are you searching for answers to tough parenting problems like sibling rivalry, tattling, anger, defiance, or bullying? Katie J. Trent has over a decade of experience equipping and encouraging families through counseling and ministry. She offers suggestions for applying biblical wisdom to overcome your children’s emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges.

When children move out of the house, begin an independent life, and eventually establish their own families, it can be hard to navigate what role you should play as a parent. Mary DeMuth gives parents a language of prayer for their grown-up children. Even though parental fears abound as the sin of this world poses ever-present threats, take your children to the Lord in prayer and know they are loved by the God of the universe.

The Bible tells us that God will judge humanity. What does this mean? Is God’s judgment something to be afraid of? Yes- it is if you don’t believe in Jesus Christ. But if your sins have been forgiven, God’s judgment is instead something to look forward to! This plan explains why.

Ever wonder what the Bible says about love? So did we, so we went through and picked out a couple of thoughts for this plan. Enjoy.

Sometimes looking for what is right is not the same as looking for what is easy or most pleasing.   It's true with love.  Loving well is rarely easy.  1 Corinthians 13 is a beautiful picture of loving well.  How God is not only our example of loving well, but being love itself. Do you want to learn to love well?  This 21-day reading plan will help you learn how to look more like God, who is the embodiment of Love.
