Times of trouble are common to us all. It’s because we’re in a battle, and our foe is not made of flesh and blood.

The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ suffered, died, was buried, rose from the dead and reigns victoriously. He did all this to bring sinful people back to God.

Each day’s reading includes a brief Scripture passage and relevant devotional.

The first four books of the New Testament are called “gospels,” which means “good news.” They are fundamental to the revelation of God’s eternal plan to redeem and save lost humanity. They are often called biographies for they each tell the story of Jesus, his birth, ministry, death, and resurrection. The good news of the Gospels is that Jesus has come, that he is both Savior and King, and people can know this is true because God has raised him from the dead. This section specifically focuses on the longest of the four Gospels, the Gospel of Matthew.
