Psalms 118:19-22

Do you feel afraid? Full of fear? You’re not alone! Fear might be where we start, but it is not where we need to stay. What if we could move from fear into trust? This five-day reading plan is a space where, together, we can acknowledge our fears and look into the Bible to discover the good news about the God whose perfect love casts out all fear. Fear Not!

How do we live as Christ-followers in a world that seems to be spinning out of control? The spiritual resolve of Daniel and his three friends sets an example for us of courage, confidence, and hope for God’s people then and now. Learn from Daniel how to live a life that glorifies and serves God with integrity and spiritual power in a godless society.

The book of Isaiah contains many prophecies. But in chapter 12, we find a wonderful song of salvation. This song is not only meant for the people in Isaiah’s day, but can also inspire believers nowadays!

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is a yearly reminder of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples that “they may be one so that the world may believe” (see John 17.21). The theme in 2017, "Reconciliation – the love of Christ compels us," is inspired by verses from the Second Letter to the Corinthians, chapter 5. The resources for the week have been prepared by members of different churches in Germany.
