My hope is that as you read through this devotional, you too will linger in His presence and allow His Word to become a divine conversation-starter.

On Easter, we celebrate the hope of new life that Jesus brings into each of our lives, and even more, into the whole world. The earth-shattering thing that happened on this day changes everything.

Where are your values taking you, or better yet, what are your values? We cannot form our Biblical values through our strength only through God's. Recalibrate your values as you fast, pray, and l.o.v.e.

How do you lead? Does your leadership reflect Jesus' heart? What can you learn from Biblical examples? As a disciple what does servant leadership mean to you? How to practice it? If these questions resonate with you you've come to the right place: this reading plan is for you.

This is a series of short Holy Week reflections beginning with the events on Maundy Thursday, and ending with Resurrection Sunday. They are also glimpses inside the act of Creation itself. When we enter Holy Week we have a front-row seat to God’s creative process. In the end, we discover ourselves as co-creators in Christ, participating in the ongoing act of Creation.

Consecrating our lives to God's purpose implies service that expresses greatness and power. This service is not a mere duty but a personal connection with Jesus. It cannot flourish when we are motivated by guilt, duty, or shame. Join me in this plan to discover the characteristics of a service that connects with Jesus's heart and deepens our personal relationship with Him.

If you were making an ice cream sundae, you wouldn’t top it with ketchup or fermented tuna liver – they just don’t belong there! In our lives as followers of Jesus, pride has no place in the picture. Join us as we learn about the ingredient every believer’s life should include: humility!

Through Jesus, God revealed Himself and dwelt amongst His created man. This is the second part of the 3-part series devotion on the Bible-revealed Greatness of God and His Plan. While the first part focus on certain aspects of the Greatness of God, this part discusses on the Greatness of Jesus in the areas of His obedience, humility, gentleness, sacrifice and authority. May this devotion bless you and refresh you in the Lord.

Are you letting your lack of authority paralyze you? One of the greatest myths of leadership is that you must be in charge in order to lead. Great leaders don't buy it. Great leaders lead with or without the authority and learn to unleash their influence wherever they are.

From an influential pastor and author whose writing Ann Voskamp calls "sharp, informed, [and] culturally savvy" comes a revelatory blueprint for an utterly transformative and enticing Christianity. 

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.

Women are commissioned like the generations before us to make a difference in our world, representing the One who came makes all things new. Sometimes we wonder if God has called us to be influencers and leaders. But God’s powerful Word gives us the courage to recognize the truth of His call to women. This five-day devotional is an invitation to rise—with boldness, faithfulness, and grace.

This five day devotional is geared towards helping you to engage with scripture in quiet reflection. We encourage you to set apart intentional time for each session, as well as extended time to journal your experience (if you are able). Feel free to use written meditation or the accompanying audio.

Choosing to worship helps us keep our eyes on Jesus, even when life's crazy. When we focus on Him, our brokenness is restored, our anxiety turns into hope, and we become more united. This 5-day plan will give you practical steps to worship through it, whatever IT is, along with how to love one another, even when it's hard. So, today, we hope you'll choose to Worship Through It, Together.

Do you long to “make disciples who make disciples,” to follow Jesus’ mandate in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20)? If so, you may have found that it can be difficult to find role models for this process. Whose example can you follow? What does disciplemaking look like in everyday life? Let’s dive into the New Testament to see how five men and women invested in others Life-to-Life.

Holy Week is such an important time of reflection in the Christian life. We pray these devotionals will lead you with joy and anticipation for the risen Christ. As you celebrate today, and every day, remember to be expectant. Remember to serve. Remember the blood. Remember the deafening silence. Remember to be surprised. For in Christ, you have life and you have it abundantly.

Service is the fourth in a series of studies that helps you establish a strong biblical foundation as a follower of Jesus. In this plan, you will explore how the calling to follow Jesus inevitably involves humble service of others and you will discover some important biblical ways of serving.

Followers of Jesus are called to become more like him in every part of our lives: our thoughts, our words, our actions, and our attitudes. Philippians 2 shows how we can “have the same attitude as Jesus,” which will impact not just our relationship with God but also our relationships with each other.
