John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus's life and ministry. This 5-day series traces John's testimony through readings from the Gospels. Just as John was sent to prepare the way for Jesus and point people to him, we have the privilege of also pointing others to Christ. As you prepare for Christmas, these devotionals will help you see how you can be a vessel of God’s love.

Advent serves as a season of both reflection and anticipation. Though the traditional Advent season begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, this 5-day plan can be done over any five days during the Christmas season. We’ll dive into various Scriptures, each corresponding to spiritual themes of hope, peace, joy, and love. These themes deepen our understanding of how we are called to await the coming of the Lord.

Join this 5-day reading plan from Melissa Spoelstra to find encouragement to slow down and linger with the living Word. You’ll appreciate the pace of the Savior, who never hurried but completed all the Father called Him to accomplish. You’ll be challenged to take on the posture of a learner—understanding that the peace Jesus offers is not an ease of circumstances but a stillness of the soul.

When you serve more, you take less. When you give more, you need less. When you thank more, you want less. When there’s more of God, you’re selfless. If you’re ready for more of God, start this new Life.Church Bible Plan to accompany Pastor Craig Groeschel’s series, Selfless. 

It’s often said that many people are looking for love in all the wrong places. Many people are looking for life in all the wrong places, going from one thing to another hoping that the void they have in their hearts will be filled. In Plan 3 of 19 we discover only Jesus can release true life and how we too can partake in releasing it to others.

He lived in the wild, wore weird clothes, had an appetite for bugs, and an aptitude for berating people. But, despite John the Baptist’s eccentric appearance and lifestyle, Jesus claimed “there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist” (Matt. 11:11). Who was John the Baptist? What made him so great? Perhaps, most importantly, what can we learn from him about true greatness in God’s kingdom?

So often we are following the Lord Jesus, but there are significant parts of our lives that hinders the Holy Spirit to work in our lives.

The Apostle John identifies himself as the one dear to Jesus and the one who rested his head on Jesus’ breast. Being that close to the Master must have seen what Jesus gave to the people during His ministry and registered them in his Gospel. Let us see in this plan what he says Jesus can give you. Like no one else can.

Did you know that as followers of Christ, our hearts should love the nations? Jesus desires that we love missions as He does. As believers in Christ, we were created to spread the good news and through the Holy Spirit we are able to do so. In this plan, Pastor Gregg Matte gives three statements that will help you understand more about how we can live a life on mission.

Using locations in the Holy Land as an inspiration, this plan looks at seven different ways you can grow closer to the genuine love of Jesus--particularly during the Easter season.
