Is God's plan different from what the world calls ‘Fate’? If God has planned our life, where is our choice? Is it logical for God's plan and our free will to co-exist?

You have been written into a wonderful story. God’s story is one that includes Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. However, our conversations surrounding sex often focus on the fall - in reality, we were sexual before we were sinful! In this plan, we'll look at what scripture says about God's creation and design for sex.

When we see ourselves within the whole biblical story, where Jesus is Lord of all, everything changes. We’re invited to join in God’s labor, the gospel working its way out on our local turf.

He is the head of the body, the church. He holds creation together. He’s the first, the best, the priority of everything. Jesus Christ is the center of the circle around which all Christian living revolves. If you’re tempted by false teaching or feel too discouraged to go on, remember who Jesus Christ is in these six lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

The doctrines of the Christian faith tell God’s Grand Story by introducing a broad understanding of God and His ways.

When we say, 'His Presence is our Passion,' we're referring to how we were created to be with God. We all experience the feeling of being disconnected from God, but the Bible reveals that God doesn't stand far off waiting for us to find our way to him. He comes to us. The Bible repeatedly reminds us that God reaches out to us. Join us for this 6-day devotional about the importance of the Presence of God in our lives.

Written with the single purpose of displaying the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus, the book of Colossians answers the two questions every person asks: Who am I? Why am I here? Louie Giglio takes us through the book of Colossians to find the answers to these questions, answers that will determine the direction and quality of all of our lives.

Most men don’t wake up hoping to be average. We want to be strong and respected — but often settle for polishing the image while the old self still rules: pride, anger, fear. Paul says in Colossians 3 it’s time to change clothes. Rip off the old self — excuses, ego, default settings — and put on what fits: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience. You don’t drift into this. You suit up daily. And when you do, Christ shows up in your words, your work, and your wake. This isn’t behavior modification, it’s spiritual re-formation.

Deeper into Scripture is a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God’s Word daily and deeply. To accomplish this we have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture (usually 5-15 verses) 4 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.

What would it look like to really follow the Holy Spirit by putting Jesus first in life? The book of Colossians is about the person of first importance-Jesus Christ. It is all about Him because He is the supreme One.

From choosing a humble handmaiden as His mother, to announcing His birth to common shepherds, the way the Lord chose to come to earth reveals what His heart beats for. This seven-day plan delves into the humility of mighty God revealed in the meaning of Christmas.

The first disciples of Jesus were first-hand witnesses of his life, passion, death, and resurrection. They were privileged to see him in the flesh, to savor his ministry and miracles, and to worship the exalted Christ who conquered sin, death, and hell in providing a way of salvation for all of us. This is the Jesus they proclaimed, and that we have believed in through their witness.

When the Bible is confusing, Through the Word explains it with clear, concise audio guides for every chapter. Here in Colossians, Kris Langham guides us as we learn who Jesus is and how to follow Him today. We’ll also get great insight on God’s directions for marriage and work, and what it means to be remade in His image. Plus the Bible’s antidote to weird Christianity! Welcome to Colossians Explained.

The Christmas story is not just about a baby in a manger and some shepherds visiting Him.

This plan helps you understand the real, deep meaning of Christmas.

It’s hard to be grateful in the comparison culture we live in. I need more influence, money, time, vacations, a bigger house, and a nicer car. Have you ever thought that? What if God has given us more than enough, and we refuse to glorify Him because we aren’t grateful for what we have? Over the next seven days, we’ll practice glorifying God through gratitude.

God uses all things—the good, the bad, and the ugly—to tell a more beautiful story. This is true of how He works in our lives, and it’s true of what He does with the Bible. In this Plan, we’re taking a closer look at the weird and wild parts of the Bible to show how God uses all of it for good.
