Throughout the Bible, leaders, kings, prophets, adults and children are blessed by God. We also read in the Bible that God is being blessed. And people may bless each other. What does it mean that God blesses us, that we pronounce a blessing on the Lord, and that people bless each other? This is the topic of these lessons.

Near the end of his life, John was the last of the living apostles and wrote a story about Jesus. It’s his testimony of who Jesus is, what he said, what he did, and who he claimed to be. Jesus has a story. He invites us to make it our story. When we make Jesus’s story our story, we have life in his name. This plan focuses on Jesus’s final moments with his disciples, crucifixion, and resurrection. It is Jesus’s last will & testament.

Deeper into Scripture is a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God’s Word daily and deeply. We have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times. Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered. This repetitive reading and instruction takes us deeply into the Word of God and draws us closer to Him.

We all want to believe something better is in store. And God knows we need more than gifts under the tree to find joy. What we need is hope. Created by NewSpring Church, this plan will help you discover the power of hope and how it changes our view of everything in our lives.

For many people, “hope” is something positive but also something uncertain. If we hope for something, we are not sure whether it will happen. However, the Bible teaches us that there is a source of hope that is absolutely certain and trustworthy — God's character and promises. This reading plan is about hope from a Biblical perspective.

Being a Christian means that you belong to Jesus Christ and are called to live a holy life devoted to His glory; in other words, to be a saint. This has an enormous impact on your life. It changes your position towards God and towards other people, and it has consequences for your choices. Becoming a saint is not optional. It is the calling of every believer.

You can’t understand the Christian life unless you understand grace. It is the heart of your faith and your relationship to God. In this series, Pastor Rick helps you understand the many expressions of grace so you will not just understand it but experience it and the joy it brings.

When we are hurting or going through a difficult season, we might feel alone and abandoned. It might feel as if God isn't listening to our cries for help or that He doesn't care about our pain. Yet, throughout Scripture God communicates that He is with us, sees us, loves us deeply, empathizes with our pain, and still has good plans for us. He invites us to draw close to Him in times of hardship, receive His comfort, and hold tight to His unchanging truth.

The story of Easter really is the story of a miracle. A miracle preceded by many others that all ultimately point us to one thing: the truth of who God is, how God loves us, and the way God is working on our behalf. In this devotional, we’ll look at three major miracles recorded in the gospel of John. As we do, we’ll see that these miracles were all pointing us toward something greater. We’ll see the reveal of the greatest miracle of all: the resurrection of Jesus.

Life is hard. The struggle IS real. While all of us experience seasons of blessing, we are broken people living in a broken world.

(We recommend using The Message (MSG) translation.)

It doesn’t matter if you have been downsized, laid off or outsourced, let go or fired. The pain is real, and the terrible toll of fear, anger, confusion, and uncertainty that happens when a person’s world collapses around him or her is much more than a statistical reality. It is just real. We pray that these devotionals will be used by Him to bring you hope and encouragement.

God works in us in many ways. He uses scripture, prayer, pastors, community, godly friends, and more. Each avenue can help transform us more and more into His image. As we dedicate our lives to Christ, He has made us new and continues to make us new.

We want to see the hope of God work through us, in us, and in every space we find ourselves. "Hope" may sound like wishful thinking or vague optimism. As we study the concept of hope, as we study the God of hope, as we discover that we are carriers of hope, may we shine the light of His kingdom into all of the hopeless spaces in our society today.
