God is love. Jesus loves you in a unique, personal way. He does not see you as someone who is lost in the crowd; on the contrary, He sees you and looks at your heart. God invites you to have Jesus as an example—to love, to act and to speak like Him. In this reading plan we will discover more about it!

Sometimes it’s hard to love people – even the ones that are closest to us. We admittedly find it easier to love them than those whom we don’t really get along with. In Plan 13 we see Jesus’ love on full display when He chooses to be a servant and when He chooses to still love those who will betray Him. Are we willing to love others on this level?

Embark on a journey to learn more about the life of Jesus. Together we will watch short clips from the film, The Life of Jesus, and reflect on what we see. Discover who Jesus really was and what He can mean to you. You can read each of the 10 plans separately, but we challenge you to complete the whole journey.

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. Jesus has a story. He invites us to make it our story. When we make Jesus’s story our story, we have life in his name. This plan focuses on John 13 and Jesus's prediction of Judas's betrayal, Peter's denial, and Jesus's new commandment to his disciples. It is part of an ongoing series through John.

We all have a common denominator. We will die. I will die. You will die. Death will defeat you. You won’t be able to dodge it, sidestep it, trick it or make it disappear. But then there is Jesus, the man who defeated the grave. Jesus stood toe to toe with the grave and defeated death. When Jesus talks, the grave speaks.

Jesus and the disciples' last evening together wasn't an idyllic holiday meal with good friends. Jesus knows that two of the men around the table will soon fail him and break apart the fellowship they have shared the last three years. His leadership in preparing the community for the coming relational violations is a powerful example for us.

“Love can’t be earned, it can only be given. And it can only be exchanged by people who are completely true with each other,” says Donald Miller. In this 7-day reading plan based on the book Scary Close, Don challenges our assumptions about what makes for good relationships and shares reflections from his own journey to “drop the act” and find true intimacy.

Offering forgiveness to others is one of the most challenging, but life-giving aspects of the Christian faith. In forgiving we find healing for our own hearts. When we forgive, we become like Christ in offering undeserving mercy and grace in love. In this 7-day plan, you’ll embark on the journey to healing and restoration as you receive and give forgiveness in the power and presence of Jesus. 

We all go through tough times. We all struggle and even suffer, even as Christians. The real problem comes when we allow the negativity of these events get into our head and produce in us a Victim Mentality. The good news is that with the help of God’s Word, you can overcome!    

When you’re guided by the Spirit of God, you will come to understand what God has done to benefit you. You will understand how valuable it is to be able to call God Abba Father. The Spirit of God is in you, so you can experience all that God gave you through His Son. Enjoy all the wonderful things God has prepared for you as you receive them by faith.

Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday and ends with Easter Sunday. By following Christ's footsteps through daily scripture readings, take your own spiritual journey and prepare your heart for honoring him this Easter.

In Holy Week, we encounter a God who moves ever closer to us, even in our brokenness and shame. Yet what lies before us is a question: will we return to the Lord? This year, through repentance and renewal, let us be ready to greet the Lord at his Resurrection. This plan is an excerpt from Dwell's Lenten devotional, "Return," available in its entirety within the Dwell Bible App.

Jesus began his ministry by calling all people to "Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand". He chose a few to be his disciples, telling them to "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men". This is a 10-day devotional on what it means to be a disciple of Jesus – responding to his call and following him faithfully.

What do we do with our pain and joy in life? Most try to avoid the tears and focus on finding happiness, but does that really work? Denial might help to alleviate pain for the short run, but eventually lament must be faced and expressed. The surprising truth is that both laughter and lament together pave the path to radical freedom in Christ.

How can you be sure that Easter really happened? Or that what God accomplished at Easter truly grants us salvation?

This reading plan explores the fourth gospel. John wrote the fourth gospel to assure persecuted Jewish believers that Jesus was the fulfillment of God's ancient promises to the Jews; that Jesus really is the Christ, the Son of God. John wanted to make sure that they would remain faithful to Jesus and enjoy abundant life in him.

What do the miracles that Jesus performed 2000 years ago have to do with your life? Quite a lot, because Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He is a God of miracles and just as he raised his friend Lazarus from the dead back then, he can give you new life today in areas of your life that have long felt dead.

Step into the Gospel of John and read through the influence and impact Jesus had the two weeks preceding His death. Once you experience God’s truth, you will never look at life the same – for Jesus is greater than any fear that grips your life or joy that fills your heart.
