As children grow into their teen age they start to reduce their dependence on family relationships and look to external relationships. For all teens, it is often a time of physical and emotional upheavals, discovery, and mistakes. It's a time they need prayer backup to make the right choices, choices that will change their lives forever, either for Jesus or evil. Take time to pray for your teens.

This is part of a series that will take you through the entire New Testament in a year. Each month's plan covers a specific book(s). January completes Matthew, then focuses on Ephesians, Philippians, 2 Thessalonians, and 2 and 3 John. The plan is designed to be used with a small group of friends. Read the daily passage first, reflect on one or more questions, and try the engagement practice.

“Come, Thou long-expected Jesus, born to set Thy people free.” These words from a beloved hymn capture the heart of Advent: longing, waiting, expectation. Scripture builds our anticipation of our Saviour, God Himself who would dwell among His people and set them free from sin and death. Celebrate Jesus’ first coming as the baby born in Bethlehem and anticipate His second as the glorious King over all.

This reading plan is for all those who long for unity in the church. In a world of anger, division, and animosity Jesus calls us to walk a different path. The journey begins with reflection, spending ten days paying attention to God and our lives. The study then moves into ten days of renewal, opening space for us to hear from God and to experience healing in our lives. The final eleven days focus on our redemptive work to love and serve the world.

Deuteronomy is the final book in the Pentateuch, where we read Moses’ last three sermons and two prophetic poems detailing Israel’s future. Through these sermons, Moses urges the people not to repeat past mistakes while traveling to the promised land. This month we will be challenged, encouraged, and transformed to trust and obey as we apply Moses’ motivational sermons to our own lives.
