We’ve all felt overlooked, disconnected, and ashamed. Sometimes we think God feels the same way about us. Maybe we believe God loves us, but we feel that God is just putting up with us. Authors Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw offer us a four-day devotional that will reveal just how much God wants to be part of our everyday life.

The Bible is the most-read book in all the world, yet sadly, it is not often read well. Rather than feeling inspired and energized, we feel confused, disenchanted, or removed.

Do you ever feel that Mark skipped a crucial part of Jesus’s story? Without telling of Jesus’s miraculous birth, can we still see the reality that God became a person? The answer is yes. In this video Bible study, created in partnership between RightNow Media and Francis Chan, Francis asks us, “Have you really considered the immensity of that statement—of the event in which God became a man?”

Pastor Eugene Peterson once told his congregation, “The underlying conviction of the work of the pastor is that the words of Jesus are as true now as when first spoken, and that every named life in this congregation is as important as those twelve named disciples.” This brief devotional is drawn from Peterson’s sermons on the four gospels, where we get a glimpse of Jesus’s earthly life and ministry.

Our world in the best of times seems uncertain and upside down. If it wasn’t for Jesus, the Son of God, we would have no hope. Every Christmas reminds us that the gift of Immanuel—God with us—is a gift that keeps on giving. We are never alone, from now until eternity. That is worth celebrating.

The Holy Spirit uses God’s Word to grow believers in their faith and increase their passion for Jesus. Break down the book of Mark into the “Big Picture” of the passage, then “Digging Deeper” into that section and then move into “Living Out” the lessons that are taught in the passage in this 5-day reading plan.

Our Creator loves all of His creatures, great and small. Humanity is the height of God’s creation on the earth, and we, therefore, share a special relationship with Him. Yet all kinds of birds and beasts make an appearance throughout the pages of Scripture. Each animal mentioned in the Bible shows you and me more about the Lord’s majestic creativity, as well as highlighting His compassion toward every living thing.

The Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—are four accounts of one extraordinary life. Each book tells the story of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These books aren't fairytales, fiction, or legend; they are gospel truth.

Join Rebecca McLaughlin in Navigating Gospel Truth, a 5-day study on faithfully reading the accounts of Jesus’s life. Through this journey, your confidence in the truth of Scripture will be renewed and you'll gain a more captivating view of the Savior. And along the way, you'll acquire skills that will help you become a better student of all of Scripture.
