Many of us deal with loneliness and isolation. You are not alone in this. We are all asking, "Who is my community and where do I belong?" The Bible shows the significance of belonging from the earliest parts of our human story—God designed us to be relational beings, made to belong to God and others. We are created in community—“let us make man in our image” (Genesis 1:26)—and for community—“it is not good that the man should be alone” (Genesis 2:18). In this 5-day reading plan, you'll unlock five practices to cultivate biblical community.

Many people dream of a big sponsor to help them realise their dreams. The King of Kings is looking for potential leaders and calling people who follow Him. The call doesn’t consider age, race, or gender. Yet this call still eludes many today. For those who wholeheartedly and completely voluntarily answer this call, their lives will never be the same. We see shining examples from all walks of life.

The Good News of Jesus changes everything. Through Jesus, our sins are forgiven, our pasts are redeemed, and our futures are secure. In Him we have reconciliation, transformation, hope, and a purpose. In the following lessons, we’ll look at situations in the Bible that show the powerful, transformational power of the Gospel for those who hear it for the very first time.

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus extends an invitation to would-be followers to walk with Him, observe all He would do and say, and ultimately give up their lives to advance His Kingdom. In this reading plan, we will look at four different accounts where Jesus extended an invitation to "Follow Me," how each person responded to Jesus' offer, and what their responses mean for us today.

Throughout the New Testament, Jesus shows compassion toward unlikely “sinners” who expressed great faith. Whether tax collectors, Roman centurions, or Samaritan women, Jesus repeatedly shows that he came to rescue people burdened with shame. During this plan, Bible teacher and author Kat Armstrong illustrates how these stories strengthen our understanding of God’s empathy and knowledge of how all types of people express beautiful faith in Jesus.

Author Kathi Lipp (Clutter Free, Sabbath Soup) helps you explore the biblical importance of taking weekly Sabbath rest, a time to refresh, recenter, and reconnect with God and loved ones. By attuning yourself to the rhythms and routines of Christ-centered living, you can experience more peace and purpose as you draw closer God and experience true Sabbath rest.
