Feeling like your life is stuck on autopilot? It’s time to recenter on the things that matter most. In this 6-day Bible Plan accompanying Pastor Craig Groeschel’s message series, True Virtue, we’ll discover how to move beyond empty virtue signaling into real living that honors God and inspires others.

It's through our RIDICULOUS attention to everything Jesus said and did that we discover the truth about God, and the truth about ourselves. We learn everything about God we need to know by slowing WAY down to consider WHAT Jesus actually said and did, WHO He said and did it to, and WHAT the impact of His words and actions had on people. When we let our pursuit of Jesus guide our understanding of God and His story, we are transformed by what we discover.

Niceness is such a prized quality today. It’s easy to forget how dangerous it is. As Sharon Hodde Miller reminds us, Jesus was kind, loving, and forgiving, but he wasn’t nice. He spoke truth in love, didn’t worry about offending people, and sacrificed everything for people who disagreed with him. This week we’ll look at ways we can follow Jesus’s example and let go of the temptation to be nice.

Too many people are playing at being Christians, and some haven’t yet taken even the first step of belief. No matter where you are in your spiritual walk, Jesus wants you closer. He’s got a perfect plan for your life – a plan for purpose, peace, joy, and eternal life. All it takes is you deciding that the poser life is not for you. You’re going to be fully committed!

Half-hearted, lazy, who cares? Don’t you hate that attitude? Jesus hates it more, as He declared in Revelation 3:16; but how easily we fall into the deception that makes Him want to vomit us out of His mouth! Let’s look at ways we become lukewarm without realizing it, and how to move with our whole hearts into the joy and security of knowing and being known by Him.

Walk through the Holy Week reflecting in prayer on the events that transpired when humanity was offered a relationship with the Living God. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we receive a new life in Him! He is Risen!

These days, the level of uncertainty and anxiety for the Christian man is high, to say the least. If we chose, we could be stressed out 24/7. On any number of issues, there are matters which threaten our peace. But there is one certainty above them all: There is a God in Heaven, above all things, who gives us numerous comforting truths to help us navigate such times with His peace. This week, we will explore these biblical truths. Written by Chris Walker
