This 5-day study explores the single most central aspect of Christianity: Jesus Christ and His death on the cross.

Empathy allows us to perceive the needs of others, and bring hope and relief into their lives. Often, we can struggle with how to display empathy. Fortunately, we have a great example: in this Plan. We’ll look at what the Bible has to say about empathy, and how we can grow in ours in order to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

There are many reasons you might be experiencing anxiety right now. But author Becky Thompson is here to tell you that you’re much less alone than you feel. You’re much closer to Jesus than it seems. There is hope. There is healing. And there is peace for your troubled heart.

Loving people seems easy until we get to the “loving people” part. Now more than ever, loving people is hard. In this 5-day reading plan, Pastor Adam Weber walks us through how to love the hardest-to-love people in our lives, not because love is easy, but because love has a name, and that name is Jesus.

This plan will help you understand how each process we go through is not in vain but helps us to grow up and, consequently, help others to get out and be restored.

Have you ever made a decision, only to eventually wish that you could take it back? So far, God's story has shown us that humanity is in desperate need of some do-overs!

Do you have situations, behaviors, or habits in your life that are a little bit sketchy? You’re in good company. We’ve all been there, including some familiar people from the Bible. How did Jesus react to them and interact with them? How should we react to sketchy people or situations in our own lives? How do we interact with Jesus when we’re being sketchy?

This five-day plan provides soul stirring reflections on the Christmas season to help prepare your heart for the coming of Christ our king.

The world is God's good creation. Humanity has twisted and spoiled the world in many ways. Jesus told his followers to be IN the world but not OF the world. Read what the Bible says about how God's children can be "in, but not of."

This five day devotional is geared towards helping you to engage with scripture in quiet reflection through this special season of Advent. Four of these sessions follow the Sunday Advent Candle lighting, then a Christmas eve reading of the Christmas story. We invite you to use these in facilitating group/family engagement or for your personal time of devotion. Feel free to use written meditation or the accompanying audio.
