New Testament Books

A journey through the Sermon on the Mount. Looking at its bold,
revolutionary, and clear declaration of God’s plan for Humanity.

The Kings Speech: A Devotional on the Sermon on the Mount

The disciples didn’t expect a God they would call by name, a God who would sleep beside them in the night to keep warm, a God susceptible to lice and heat rash. In this 5-day plan, the Gospel Writer Matthew shares the surprises and meaning of seeing the Messiah up close.

Brought to you by Unveil Studios' Andrew Kooman, unveil fresh revelation and wonder this Christmas by experiencing Advent through Matthew's eyes.

A Very Matthew Christmas

Over the next 21 days, we’re going on a journey through the words Jesus taught us to pray in Matthew 6. The Lord’s Prayer is an invitation to be changed from the inside out. As we fast and pray together, each daily devotional will help us draw closer to God, grow in identity, realign with his kingdom, trust him for provision, and walk in wholeness.

Our Father...

Life is full of battles, but God has called you to prevail. This 6-day plan, grounded in Matthew 16:16–19, will guide you through the keys God has given His children to walk in victory.


To “prevail” means to prove more powerful than opposing forces, to triumph, and to overcome. Jesus declared that the gates of hell will not prevail against His church. That promise is for you too.


Our prayer is that as you journey through this plan, the Holy Spirit will reveal truth, strengthen you, and empower you to live The Prevailing Life.


The Prevailing Life

You were not made to run on empty. Yet so many of us do, pushing through exhaustion, carrying weights we were never meant to bear alone, wondering why we feel so far from God even when we are trying so hard.
Jesus knew what weariness truly was. He looked at people bent low under impossible loads and said, Come to Me. 
This three-day plan explores what true rest really is, where it comes from, and how to live in it every day.

TRUE REST

“The Sermon on the Mount” is the title often given to chapters 5-7 of the Gospel of Matthew. It is a summary of the teaching of Jesus. Although the other Gospels present some similar passages in other contexts, it is likely that Jesus actually delivered this speech on only one occasion, but then repeated the same concepts several times on other occasions as well. Matthew Henry, the great Bible commentator, says that the purpose of the Sermon on the Mount is “not to fill our heads with notions, but to guide and regulate our practice”.

The Sermon on the Mount

In Matthew 18:3 NIV, Jesus says, "Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." What did He mean? This one-week plan covers seven aspects of childlike faith we should aspire to. 

Don’t Be a Child! Be Like a Child - 7 Days of Exploring Childlike Faith

Jesus healed people in many ways, and He is still bringing healing today. This 30-day plan explores His healing moments in Matthew, reminding us what they meant then and what they mean now. Whether you are walking through physical struggles, emotional pain, or spiritual battles, you are invited to draw near to Him and discover that healing may look different, but His presence and love remain the same.  

Matthew: Healing in His Presence

A 5-day family devotional for scripture memorization and finding peace. Based on Storing Up Treasure, this plan helps families apply the truth of Matthew 6:33-34 to overcome worry.

Worry Free Families: 5 Days of Trusting God & Memorizing Scripture

This April devotional, “The Principle of Wisdom,” is a month-long spiritual journey designed to ground believers in God’s wisdom as the guiding force for every area of life.
This devotional is a guide to be equipped to live with spiritual intelligence, pray strategically, and align every step with the mind and counsel of God.

April Devotional

Two thousand years ago, Jesus called a few fishermen to follow Him; today, that same invitation is extended to you.

​"Learning at the Master's Feet" is a 21-day journey through the heart of the Gospels. We will rediscover the authority, compassion, and commands of Jesus to apply them to our modern-day challenges.

​Through daily reflections and practical prayers, this plan will equip you to face your own storms with the peace that only He can provide. Are you ready to leave your nets behind and walk closer to Him?

Learning at the Master's Feet: A 21-Day Journey Following Jesus

Jesus told stories not just to teach—but to help us see. In this 7-day devotional, we’ll explore His parables and reflect on what they reveal about God, our hearts, and everyday life. Through short readings, Scripture, and honest questions, this plan invites you to pause, listen, and respond. Whether you're in a season of waiting, seeking growth, or needing direction, these simple but powerful stories invite us to hear Jesus more clearly—and to follow Him more closely.

Stories Jesus Told Pt.1 

Written by five different OM writers, these devotions follow the theme of being a servant - based on Matthew 20:28 “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Each devotional is written from the unique perspective of the writer and their experience.

The Servant King

The Lord’s Prayer is the most well-known prayer in human history—but that familiarity can work against us. We assume we already know what it means, and in doing so, we miss the depth and power Jesus intended. In this six-day plan, you’ll rediscover the prayer through six lenses of context—history, geography, culture, language, literary design, and visual backgrounds—that open up its original meaning. As you explore these dimensions, you’ll see how this ancient prayer is not just words to recite but an invitation to step into Jesus’ mission of bringing heaven to earth.

Understanding the Original Context of the Lord’s Prayer

In Matthew 2:1-23, the story of the Magi gives us a gospel view of how God reveals Himself to us, the reason God reveals Himself to us, and the results of God revealing Himself to us. 

The Epiphany of Christ

What did Jesus mean when he said, "Seek first the Kingdom of God"? Explore these famous words of Jesus found in Matthew 6:33, and consider his way of valuing love and life more than status and wealth. Jesus never minimizes physical needs, but he helps us rethink the things we often love most.

BibleProject | How to Seek First the Kingdom

Jesus ended the Sermon on the Mount with a stark choice: build your life on the rock or on the sand. The difference isn't what you know but what you do with what you know. Over five days, discover how the application of God's Word brings power, authority, and stability when life's storms come. This plan focuses on progress and obedience, not perfection.

Foundations - Building on the Rock

The Sermon on the Mount isn’t just a list of teachings–it’s a call to a different kind of life. The way of Jesus can feel backward at first, but it’s actually the path that leads to freedom and true transformation. In this plan, we’ll explore five “opposites” that reveal the values of God’s Kingdom and invite us to follow him more fully.

Choosing the Opposite: The Way of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount

This 3-day devotional explores the Beatitudes as an invitation into God’s upside-down kingdom, where blessing flows through humility, surrender, righteousness, mercy, and purity. It emphasizes that God’s commands are purposeful and transformative, not arbitrary. Followers of Jesus are called to pursue reconciliation, endure opposition with faithfulness, and find identity in Christ even amid suffering. Ultimately, the Beatitudes reframe hardship by pointing believers toward eternal reward and deeper communion with God.

The Beatitudes

Have you ever experienced the death of a dream or the loss of something you love? When Mary Magdalene and the other Mary embarked on their journey to the tomb in Matthew 28, they had barely a weekend to process an unimaginable loss. In the “At The Tomb” Bible study, we’re going to take a closer look at the angel's words in Matthew 28:1–10 and discover three obstacles that Jesus’ death overcame for both women, as well as for everyone who places their faith in Him!

At the Tomb

Jesus said, “Go make disciples.” One question: How? Discipology takes everyday believers on the same journey of transformation that Jesus took the disciples on. Rediscover the Biblical rhythms of discipleship that Jesus modeled. After a seven-step introduction, you’ll get three rhythms of seven steps each for: TIME with Jesus & others; TEACHING that shapes the heart; and TACTICS that turn faith into action. That’s 28 practical steps to equip you to effectively live out the Great Commission. Now you can start a disciple-making movement with a friend, your small group, or your whole church.

Discipology: The Art and Science of Making Disciples

As we enter the season of Lent, the 40 days of spiritual preparation leading up to Easter, let's sit with Jesus on the mountainside and listen with open hearts to His teaching found in Matthew chapters 5-7.

Preparing Your Heart for Lent and Easter With the Sermon on the Mount

Start the year with renewal, restoration, and a fresh encounter with God’s Word.

Three Years in 30 Days: Jesus' Life and Mission

Matthew

This reading plan explores the second Gospel. The persecution of Christians was on Mark's mind as he wrote this Gospel. Mark told the story of Jesus' life in ways that strengthened the faith of early Christians and encouraged them to persevere through suffering.

The Gospel According To Mark

Mark

Pastor Brian takes us through Mark, chapter by chapter, because everything that God says is critical for us. So often we keep repeating our favorite parts of God’s word, not recognizing that we’re probably doing pretty well in those areas, there’s a lot of other things God says that we need to pay attention to. The only way we're going to have a life we love, is by loving God!

Loving God & Loving Life - Mark

The final leg. As our journey through Mark’s gospel approaches its destination, Jesus delivers some of His most important lessons.

Trust - Taking God at His Word and Living Accordingly

Do you ever feel that Mark skipped a crucial part of Jesus’s story? Without telling of Jesus’s miraculous birth, can we still see the reality that God became a person? The answer is yes. In this video Bible study, created in partnership between RightNow Media and Francis Chan, Francis asks us, “Have you really considered the immensity of that statement—of the event in which God became a man?”

Throughout the Bible, Jesus made clear statements about who He was. There was no ambiguity about His life, His mission, and His purpose. Many times in the scriptures we find God declares, “I am…” In this three-day devotional that centers around the Easter story, we explore some of the “I AM” statements that God made and what that means for us.

Christmas Devotions With Paul Chappell

Jesus was born into the home of two young parents. He went to school. He worked a job. He had close friends. He had enemies. He pleased many people. And he disappointed others. He laughed. He cried.
