Times are tough. Anxiety can grow inside us like a contagion as we battle external stress and internal doubt. Jesus knew that the better we know our Father, the less reason we’ll have to be anxious.

Money is God's rival in the human heart. Our meaning, our sense of value, and our sense of security all depend on the money and things we own, although this should not be so. Security can be found in money and things, or found in God. What is first in your life: money or God? Surely we'll all say that of course God is first, but actually, is He?

Have you ever been part of a group that spent a lot of time discussing the concept of discipleship, and yet the members did not appear to grow much as disciples? Jesus not only gives us instructions about the nature of discipleship; He demonstrates principles about how disciples are developed. Let’s look at seven principles that Jesus used consistently as He developed the people around Him.

Practicing Righteousness—Giving, Prayer, Fasting, Money, and Anxiety. Jesus’ insistence that he did not come to abolish, but fulfil the law, is vital to understand the collected sayings of Matthew 5 through 7. That the law was interpreted through love—self-giving love—was a revolution that disturbed the religious authorities and amazed the common man and woman. A revolution begins.

The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ message about the fundamental values and standards to which every Christian should aspire. In essence, it is a blueprint of a discipled life living out a faith through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. Join us and discover the life-giving principles of the Kingdom of God and why they are essential to our faith walk.

What would your life look like if you knew and loved yourself as Christ loves you? The perfection we feel pressured to project from ourselves and for others comes at the expense of our emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being. Shift your focus from performing to purposeful living from the inside out. Soulful honesty between God and you always bring healing, so let’s embrace the confidence God's forgiveness and restoration offer.

Discipleship in business means learning how to apply Biblical principles to everyday decisions. Financial discipleship is important because Jesus said, “You cannot serve both God and Money.” (Matthew 6:24) Money is a major competitor for our devotion. Financial discipleship is learning to serve God and use business finances for His purposes. This reading plan will help you discern God’s ways in handling money in your business.

We want to follow Jesus, but how? What does He ask us to do? Thankfully, we aren't left hanging wondering what to do. Whether you're a new believer, getting serious about your faith, or diving deeper, we're going to examine the instructions Jesus gave His followers in Matthew 5 - 7 and strive to put them into practice. Get ready to learn how to follow Jesus.

Trust is God’s love language. Nothing brings Him more joy than when we put our hope fully in Him. In this week’s devotional, Joanna Weaver helps us see how our view of God changes how we navigate our fears and hopes in this uncertain world. Breathe deep and immerse yourself in God’s unchanging Word as we explore what it means to trust God no matter what comes our way.

Jesus taught about many topics—lasting blessings, adultery, prayer, and much more. What does this mean for people today? A short video illustrates one passage of Jesus’ teaching for each day of this plan.

What power does your worrying have? It is the most unproductive, impotent thing you’ll ever do. It changes nothing. Jesus teaches us it is all in God’s sovereign hands. God’s plan for your life is not helped by your anxiety. Our Lord knows what we need. He cares for us. He has a purpose for our lives, and He’s going to make sure it’s fulfilled.

Embrace true riches and wisdom in what God says about your thinking (Day 1), beliefs (Day 2), imagination (Day 4), and you won’t want to miss “The Ghosts of Fear (Day 7). Choose today to Think and Grow Wise.

Our faith isn’t a one-time moment of acceptance and salvation—it’s a continual walk with God as we seek to be more like Jesus. And we’re not alone on this journey! Hebrews 12 says that not only has Jesus walked the same path before us, but centuries of fellow believers who have faced every kind of challenge, sin, and peer pressure have run this race before us and are cheering us on. There are many things in our world that hinder our race. Our own sin, the sin of others, or even the good things we put in our life ahead of following Jesus. But we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to shatter every chain and sin and take our next steps in faith! What is holding you back? What’s keeping you trapped in fear and frustration? What is that thing in your life that you need to shatter to continue following hard after God?
