پلانی خوێندنەوەی بێبەرامبەر و بابەتی پەرستشی پەیوەست بە مەتا 5:5

It is easy to feel overwhelmed by the injustices we see in the world. We don’t know what to do and we might think we have nothing to offer. But by using our gifts in collaboration with others, we can do more together than we ever could on our own. This seven-day plan explores how the body of Christ can transform society—when we stand together.

This chronic illness battle can feel exhausting and, at times, defeating. In our daily struggle, we struggle, we might feel isolated and alone. While our emotions are valid, the truth is, God stands with us. He sees our hurts, our challenges, our fears, and our hopes. May this plan remind you of His steadfast love and faithful presence.

The Bible blesses peacemakers, but also exhorts us to “fight the good fight”. This last phrase is not an exhortation to attack other people, but to resist the devil and our own sinful desires. This reading plan presents seven Bible verses about this topic. It can be combined with our other Reading Plans: “The Great Battle” and “The Battle Is the Lord’s”.

Sometimes it can feel like we are drowning in negativity. The world around us, and our own minds, can seem dominated by fear, anger, and depression. But what if we could harness that negativity, and use it to bring us closer to God? We will show how God can turn our problems into solutions. He gives us the very lesson we need each day, if we are open to Him.

Christianity is not supposed to be comfortable and convenient. If you stand for God, many times you may find yourself standing alone. One of the biggest challenges we face in a culture that is increasingly anti-Jesus, is loneliness. This plan will explore how to cope with loneliness by building a deeper relationship with God. By learning this we will never truly be alone.

What does gentleness—one of the fruit of the spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23—look like when it is operating in a Christian’s life? Make no mistake—it doesn’t look like weakness! In this seven-day study, you’ll learn what gentleness is, how you can excel at being gentle, and all the benefits that come with it. When you walk in the fruit of gentleness, everything will go right for you!

The apostle Paul wrote that Christians are to be “abounding in thanksgiving.” But how can anyone achieve that in the face of life’s battles? In this plan, Alistair Begg teaches that there is but one lasting foundation for unwavering gratitude. Are you building upon it?

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God" (Matthew 5:3, NLT). If peace is something that needs to be made or created, how do we do it? In this Plan, we will take a systematic approach to learn how to bring peace to the world around us.

Feeling stuck? What if you could overcome difficulties easier than before? Over the next seven days, you will identify walls that may be hindering your spiritual progress and discover how God has enabled you to pass them and grow in stamina!

Are you someone who feels strongly about crimes against innocent people? How do you feel when a perpetrator gets away with it? Is there a place for mercy in the context of justice? I hope that this Plan will give you a new understanding of showing godly mercy in the fallen world around us.
