Three times in I Samuel, Jonathan said to his young armor bearer, "Come, Let's Go!" Three times in Revelation 22 Jesus said, "I'm coming soon!" It's been more than 2,000 years since Jesus made this promise. Jesus gave the church a simple job to do. It's called the Great Commission. So church, why hasn't Jesus COME back yet? We need discipleship in evangelism! COME, LET'S GO!

This plan looks at a vital spiritual practice to all seeking growth in God: tilling the soil of the heart.

God did not create us to have the perfect marriage, but to reflect and represent the relationship between Jesus and the bride of Christ, the Church. A fully connected marriage is a partnership where husband and wife are committed to the daily pursuit of God and each other. When couples are willing to intentionally invest in their marriage, they can experience life fully connected to God and each other.

The sacred chase is the audacious pursuit of God and God’s reckless love for you. All of heaven desires to see your life soaked with the reality of God’s presence. As Heath Adamson reminds us in this week-long devotional, pursuing this is worth all of your efforts. The prize is the reality of Jesus in your life today.

In this plan, we will talk about being grateful, not just for our blessings, but for Christ being manifested in us. There are several things that we should be grateful in this regard, for example, we have the mind of Christ, the faith of the Son of God, the life of the Son, and the Spirit of the Son.
