New Testament Books

Written by five different OM writers, these devotions follow the theme of being a servant - based on Matthew 20:28 “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Each devotional is written from the unique perspective of the writer and their experience.

The Servant King

This 3-day devotional explores the Beatitudes as an invitation into God’s upside-down kingdom, where blessing flows through humility, surrender, righteousness, mercy, and purity. It emphasizes that God’s commands are purposeful and transformative, not arbitrary. Followers of Jesus are called to pursue reconciliation, endure opposition with faithfulness, and find identity in Christ even amid suffering. Ultimately, the Beatitudes reframe hardship by pointing believers toward eternal reward and deeper communion with God.

The Beatitudes

Eight Days That Changed the World invites you into the story at the center of history. From the dusty road of Palm Sunday to the dawn light of Resurrection morning, this eight-day Holy Week devotional helps you slow down and step into the final days of Jesus’ life. Written by Darrell Johnson in partnership with CREATR.

Eight Days That Changed the World

Jesus calls us to make disciples, yet starting spiritual conversations can feel intimidating. This devotional explores how prayer becomes the foundation for sharing our faith with confidence and compassion. By beginning with prayer, we learn to meet people where they are and trust God to work in their hearts. Prayer helps others feel seen, heard, and loved, releases burdens we cannot carry alone, and aligns our hearts with God’s will. Discover how prayer can open doors, strengthen obedience, and draw others closer to Jesus.

Power of Disciple Making Through Prayer

Have you ever experienced the death of a dream or the loss of something you love? When Mary Magdalene and the other Mary embarked on their journey to the tomb in Matthew 28, they had barely a weekend to process an unimaginable loss. In the “At The Tomb” Bible study, we’re going to take a closer look at the angel's words in Matthew 28:1–10 and discover three obstacles that Jesus’ death overcame for both women, as well as for everyone who places their faith in Him!

When Jesus stepped onto the stage of history, He didn’t set out with the goal of simply starting a new religion. He came to introduce a whole new way of life defined by loving God with all we are and loving others as He has loved us. In this Plan, we will journey through Matthew’s Gospel with the purpose of making Jesus’ way of life, our way of life.

Learning the Jesus Way of Life

Missional living is born in the heart of the Father, centered in the person of Jesus, and fueled by the power of the Holy Spirit. A central characteristic of Jesus’ missional engagement with human beings during his earthly ministry was COMPASSION. In this 10-day series, we will dwell on passages that highlight the compassion for lost and wounded people that was at the heart of Jesus’ ministry, and we will consider the implications of that Spirit-fueled compassion for our own mission.

Start Here | First Steps With Jesus

There was nothing quite like Mark's Gospel before he wrote it. It was a new form of writing he invented for the sake of his message he describes as 'good news'.

Mark thinks it's good news. Read his account and decide for yourself.

The Gospel of Mark

For nearly 2,000 years, Christians around the world have set aside the week before Easter to follow our Lord Jesus Christ on his journey to the cross. We call this “Holy Week.” Beginning on Palm Sunday and ending on Easter Sunday, these eight days afford the Church a unique opportunity to reflect on our lives, repent of our sins, and redirect our gaze to Jesus. We’ve put together a reading plan for the events of Holy Week as told in Mark’s gospel.

Holy Week: A Guide to Preparation, Prayer & Fasting

It’s easy to see a story through our own lens and miss the
bigger picture.
That’s exactly what happened in the days leading up to Jesus’s
death. His followers, his critics, and the crowds all had their own
interpretations of the events unfolding before them—but Jesus
knew something they didn’t.
In Misunderstandings of Easter, a five-day reading plan, we’ll
uncover what they missed and how understanding it can change
the way we see Easter today.

The Misunderstandings of Easter

This is the third quarter of a plan to read the entire New Testament in one year. One Gospel is included in each quarter. Weekends can be used to reflect on or memorize a key verse. Notes are also included to assist with understanding.

Mark Explained Part 3 | King on a Cross

This phase in Jesus’ life is focused on leadership development. As the movement continues to grow, Jesus begins to hand-select from his disciples a few to be servant leaders of the movement. After a full night of prayer, consulting with his Father, Jesus appoints twelve men who will begin their apprenticeship as leaders and will eventually become the leaders of the movement.

The Life of Jesus Pt. 4 – Developing Leaders

Mark uses the word “immediately” over forty times in his Gospel, emphasizing the intentional nature of Jesus’ ministry. The quick succession of healings and miracles shows that Jesus “came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:44). Through Mark’s Gospel, we are reminded that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes not through selfish ambition, but by being the servant of all.

Christ as Servant: A Study in Mark

Jesus begins his earthly ministry when he is about thirty years old (Luke 3:23). We call this phase “Ministry Foundations.” It lasts about a year and a half. During this time, Jesus will issue two calls. To unbelievers, he says, “Come and see.” To believers, he says, “Follow me” (John 1:39-40).

The Life of Jesus Pt. 2 – Ministry Foundations

In part five of the seven-part devotional journey through the Gospel of Mark, we'll examine Mark 9:30-10:52, continuing our verse-by-verse breakdown of Jesus' life and ministry, as told by John Mark.

The Treasure Trove of Generous Giving

The Gospel of Mark (Part Seven)

Who is Jesus? Philosophy, literature, art, politics -- all of them have been profoundly impacted by the life and teaching of this one man. And Christians call him Savior -- the Son of God. Jesus is by any estimation one of the most influential figures in human history. So who is He? We’re here in Mark -- to find out what the Bible says about it.
