Psalm 135:5

How is your family preparing for Easter? Through this short and sweet devotional (especially helpful if you’re teaching little ones with short attention spans), Scott James brings to light the many things that Christ’s life and resurrection means for us not only through the season of Lent, but all year long.

In this five-day series of readings from across the breadth of Scripture, we will see how “the nations” have always been the object of God’s love and how he consistently calls his people to join him in his mission to rescue and redeem men and women from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. We will also explore the implications of this for people who desire to live missional lives, aligned with God’s purposes.

John's gospel can be broken into four parts: an Introduction (John 1:-1:18), the Book of signs (1:19-12:50), the Book of exaltation (13:1-20:31) and an epilogue (Chapter 21). In the book HERO, children and adults alike, can adventure with Eli and Saba (Eli’s Grandfather) on a wild ride of storytelling and discovery, and discover how John’s Gospel intentionally pairs John the Baptist's ministry with Elijah, and Jesus’ ministry with Elisha.

As Christ-followers, we’re called to demonstrate His compassion in our families, workplaces, communities, and world. Through brief Scripture passages and thought-provoking devotional content, this plan explores themes of justice, righteousness, stewardship, generosity, and grace and their relationship to compassion.
