We must return to Jesus’ words to find our focus and purpose. Using parables and stories, Jesus spoke of the kingdom, but many Christians don’t have a working knowledge of the kingdom and their citizenship in a way that affects their daily lives. Join Christine Hoover in this 5-day study, cut through life’s clutter with Jesus’ words, and reorient yourself around the kingdom and the King who gives abundant life.

Many people dream of a big sponsor to help them realise their dreams. The King of Kings is looking for potential leaders and calling people who follow Him. The call doesn’t consider age, race, or gender. Yet this call still eludes many today. For those who wholeheartedly and completely voluntarily answer this call, their lives will never be the same. We see shining examples from all walks of life.

Throughout the New Testament, Jesus shows compassion toward unlikely “sinners” who expressed great faith. Whether tax collectors, Roman centurions, or Samaritan women, Jesus repeatedly shows that he came to rescue people burdened with shame. During this plan, Bible teacher and author Kat Armstrong illustrates how these stories strengthen our understanding of God’s empathy and knowledge of how all types of people express beautiful faith in Jesus.
