Esaïe 1:13

Following God isn’t about striving; it’s about trusting. Join Melissa Spoelstra for this 5-day study and discover that Isaiah’s words reveal you can trust God more than your own human effort or the counterfeits the world suggests. You won’t be striving harder, but instead trusting more deeply the Faithful One who is worthy of our utter dependence. In Him you'll find the comfort and peace you need to sustain you.

The Old Testament can feel confusing or distant, but the story has always been moving toward Jesus. In this 5-day Bible Plan, you’ll learn simple ways to recognize His heart in unexpected places: strange stories, laws, cautionary tales, and surprising moments of grace. As you read, you’ll begin to see how the character, compassion, and mission of Jesus were already showing up long before the gospels.

Many people think the Old Testament is mainly about rules and laws. But it tells a deeper story—God’s rescue plan for humanity. From the fall in Eden to the promises of the prophets, the Old Testament reveals the problem of sin and the hope of redemption. The law exposes our need, the sacrifices point to atonement, and the prophets anticipate a transformed heart. In this 5-day plan, discover how the Old Testament prepares the world for salvation and points to the fulfillment of God’s promises in Jesus—a story not just of rules, but of rescue.

Life with Jesus involves an awakening of our passions and a focus of our time, attention, and resources. We can tend to be apathetic about brokenness in the world when we are unexposed or engaged in other activities. Rather Jesus calls us to engage, to respond, and to allow our hearts to be broken as we pursue a path toward biblical engagement and advocacy.
