It’s Easter time again and we’re inviting you to celebrate and journey through the week with us. This devotional, written by Edmound Teo, will show you what Easter should be like in His Kingdom.

Pastor, professor, and writer Chris Nye says that people in the West worship growth: we believe that very few things get worse as they get bigger. The result is we become isolated and self-celebrating, chasing power and money. The Bible, however, calls us to live in community, where there are no celebrities. We don’t grab power; we lay it down.

Much more than a simple reading plan, this is a real challenge it help you enter into a life as a disciple of Christ.

What are we supposed to do when we aren’t sure what to believe? Or how do we move forward when we’ve been hurt by people who were supposed to reflect God? In a culture wrestling with deconstruction, it’s okay to doubt.

What if doubt isn’t the opposite of faith but a doorway to a deeper faith? In this 7-day Bible Plan accompanying Pastor Craig Groeschel’s message series, Doubting God, we’ll discover that doubts don’t make you a bad Christian. In fact, they might just be a necessary ingredient to discipleship.

Life is mysterious and cryptic, especially in times of suffering and distress. Although we may wonder where God is, the Scriptures wink to show us His redemptive activity unfolding in our lives. Rev. Chris Palmer takes you through familiar New Testament stories and points out unfamiliar features that have the effect of a punchline. When the Scriptures wink, you’ll be surprised, delighted, and challenged not to give up hope.
