You are always in the process of becoming. Who you are becoming may be more or less who you really want to be. As a follower of Jesus Christ, you are meant to become more like Him. One day, one decision, and one action at a time. The Becoming reading plans will look at four facets of discipleship, moving you closer to a life that looks like Jesus.

In John 16, the disciples are nervous, scared, and confused that Jesus is leaving, and the world will turn against them. Jesus tells them that no matter what happens next, they are not alone. The Spirit will guide them, the Father loves them, and Jesus will come back for them. No matter what comes through those doors, Jesus has won the battle; we can trust what we can’t always see.

The peace that comes from trusting in God can never lead us astray, for “He who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23).

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re in Christ and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to weird ideas and alternate beliefs about reality. This series of 5-day plans uses classic Christian Creeds as a vehicle to explain the Christian worldview compared to the world’s, and help us see reality through Jesus’s eyes.

The events surrounding the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ changed the course of history. Jesus offered redemption so we would never be eternally separated from God our Father.

This plan dives into the details of what really happened when Jesus triumphed over death, hell, and the grave!

Who is the Holy Spirit? What does He do? In this devotional plan, you will learn about the Spirit’s work. The Spirit is like a matchmaker, a celestial marriage broker who brings us to Christ.

Acts centers on the power of the Holy Spirit and shows how God seeks to pour himself out on us.

It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

There’s no doubt that we gravitate to the promises of God. The side we don’t like is the side of struggle when following Jesus. Walking and living for Jesus will bring both great and difficult times.

What if everything that has happened to you has prepared you for your greatest days? Psalm 23 says God leads us in paths of righteousness. The Hebrew word for path carries the idea of "paths made of circles." God is always at work in our lives, but most of the time, we don't see it or understand it until we look backwards and see the circular nature of his work. This devotional, based on the book Connecting the Dots, looks at how to identify God's work in every season of life and see how he has prepared us with a mission and message. God really is working all things together for the good of those who love him.

Near the end of his life, John was the last of the living apostles and wrote a story about Jesus. It’s his testimony of who Jesus is, what he said, what he did, and who he claimed to be.

This plan focuses on Jesus’s final moments and words with his disciples, preparing them for his crucifixion to come. It is Jesus’s last will & testament. This plan focuses on John 16. It is part of an ongoing series.

The purpose of this series is to help you become a disciple of Jesus — someone who knows God personally and intimately, is obedient to His Word, faithfully applying the truth you are learning and consistently sharing the good news to others.
