In Acts 13, a shift occurred that changed the course of history. It wasn’t a strategy meeting; it was a move of the Spirit. Based on the "Antioch Protocol," this 3-day plan explores how to cultivate an atmosphere of sensitivity to the voice of the Holy Spirit, the courage to obey specific calls, and the vital difference between being sent by men and being sent by the Holy Spirit.

Fasting is not just an attempt to please God. It is a spiritual practice that brings about the supernatural and releases power in the most unexpected ways. Throughout Scripture, fasting positioned people for breakthrough, clarity, deliverance, strength and encounters with God. There are dimensions of spiritual power and sensitivity that are only unlocked through prayer and fasting. Never reduce fasting to religion. It is a weapon. It is surrender. It is hunger for God that makes room for the supernatural to move.

In this follow-up to the Sent by the Spirit devotional, author Robo Joan explores the profound grace of election and divine alignment.

The church at Antioch, described in Acts 13, offers a compelling picture of what happens when the Holy Spirit unifies a diverse people in common cause. Men from different regions, cultures, and social standings are brought together and unified by God for the sake of His kingdom and His glory. This four-day devotional explores how the early leaders in that church had their identities reshaped by the gospel of Jesus Christ and what that means for the church today. Through their example, we will consider a vision for a church marked by unity, purpose, and faithfulness.

The church didn’t start with buildings, budgets, or big stages. It started with ordinary people filled with an extraordinary Spirit. In this four-part journey through the book of Acts for youth, Sam Farren explores how the Holy Spirit includes, empowers, and sends us, and how we can be part of the movement that’s still turning the world upside down today. This plan isn’t just about the story of the first church. It’s about how the same story continues – through you, today.

What does it take for dreams to become reality? Dreams come true, but what does it take for dreams to become reality? It takes effort and commitment. First of all, you need to seek the Lord to know if your dreams are in His perfect will. Pray and fast; allow Him to speak to you. Then be led by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, and surround yourself with people whom you trust, those who will stand by you and help you to achieve your God-given dreams. Not only will your vision and dream give you the motivation and commitment to discipline your life, it will also inspire and affect others around you to live out their dreams in Christ.

Of all the apostles, Paul’s conversion/calling story was arguably the most notable and miraculous, his assignment to take the Gospel to the Gentiles the most unique, and the tangible results of his obedience the most impressive by human standards. Even so, Paul did not operate as a lone wolf, set apart from the pack and self-sufficient. On the contrary, this hero of the Christian faith understood the essential role his brothers and sisters played in his life and stayed connected to them even when his assignment to preach and live truth called him away for long stretches of time.

Should a Christian use Tinder… get a tattoo… or drink shots of tequila? Anyone who wants to live a life of grace needs to navigate the world’s lifestyle choices that may not necessarily be wrong, but could lead to sin—either our own or a fellow believer’s. In this devotional, Professor Bradley Truman Noel suggests five questions to ask the Holy Spirit to help guide our decisions.

Christian leadership is radically different from any other leadership. With the church and community desperately needing godly leaders, this plan forms the fifth of seven biblical foundations for Christian leaders. "Faith" takes a biblical look at the issue of leadership vision and concludes that biblical leaders weren't necessarily visionaries, but they were full of faith.

In 50 carefully selected passages from the Bible, you will discover the essential question Paul asked the Lord while he was traveling to Damascus: "What shall I do, Lord?" Have you ever asked yourself, What difference am I making with my life? On some level, we all struggle to find our own answer to that fundamental question. The search for significance is the underlying motivation for virtually all human activity.

The number one question I hear from people is, “How can I know what God’s will is for my life?” I would agree that it’s a valid question to have. How can anyone know what God desires in their ministry, job, marriage, or any other sphere of life? Knowing His will for any particular area of our life is important. I have asked myself these questions as well, and this is what I’ve learned.

Missional living is not self-powered or self-directed. It’s not about seeing a challenge, gearing up, and running toward it all on your own strength. That way lies sure disillusionment and even bitterness. Missional living is 100% empowered by the gifts of the Holy Spirit — his power, presence, provision, and perspective. In this 5-day plan, we’ll look at how the first disciples and apostles learned to live missional lives shaped by the gifts that Jesus gave them through his Spirit.

God’s purpose is not mysterious or distant—He designed it to shape our lives, serve humanity, and bring Him glory. In Christ, we discover identity, direction, clarity, and meaning. This 5-day devotional will help you understand what purpose truly is, how God reveals it, and how to recognize the signs pointing you toward your assignment. Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, you will learn to see purpose not as an achievement, but as fellowship with God and partnership in His plan for mankind.

This 5-day devotional invites you into deeper sensitivity to the Holy Spirit’s voice. Rooted in Scripture and guided by the presence of God, this plan will help you recognize how the Holy Spirit speaks, remove barriers to spiritual hearing, and cultivate a lifestyle of daily surrender and obedience.

God gave Prophets, alongside Pastors and Teachers, to build up His Church, yet they are often misunderstood. This 5-day devotional reveals the true New Testament role of the Prophet. Learn to recognize spiritual architects, test prophecies using Scripture, and embrace the full arsenal God has given us for spiritual warfare, victory, and church maturity.
