Christmas has become quite the event in this country--much of it having nothing to do with the Savior whose birth we celebrate. Here are some short readings that may help us all get back to the "Reason for the Season."

Find space to reckon with your grief during the most joyous time of the year.

The world holds democracy as the ideal government, but the truth is, as Christians, we are citizens of a Kingdom. Matthew's gospel points us to our King - Jesus. Grab your headphones and join us as our audio guides lead you through the Beginning of Matthew, as we examine the Coming of the King.

This series – “Gracious Jesus” is a deep dive into the life and teachings of Jesus from the gospels. Historical context is brought in to enrich and bring a more accurate dimension of the context of Jesus’ life. Most importantly, if we are receptive to the Spirit, He opens our spiritual eyes to see God, the world around and ourselves with completely new perspectives.

Be blessed through the Gospel of Matthew and seven insightful devotionals inspired by it. Each day offers a unique perspective on key passages, guiding you to delve deeper into the profound teachings found within Matthew's Gospel. From the revelation of Jesus as Savior to His compassionate ministry and the promise of His kingdom, these devotionals invite reflection, contemplation, and a deeper understanding of the profound message of hope and salvation.

Have you ever wished for a Bible study that could take you beyond surface-level reading? If so, get ready for our journey through the Gospel of John! You'll get to immerse yourself in Scripture (by looking at key terms and ideas), explore what's behind it (by learning historical-cultural background), and also discover its impact by considering its implications, not only for you, but for the global church. Let's dive in!

Matthew, one of Jesus’ inner circle, was inspired by God to write one of the four biographies about Jesus, and it can change your life. From the ultimate message on Christian living (Sermon on the Mount) to the invitation to find rest in Jesus, from the parables to understand God and grace to the final week of Jesus’ life, Matthew offers us a Jesus Christ Crash Course.

Jesus came to set up a kingdom that never ends, and it will be like no other empire or movement the world has ever seen. But that’s because it will be led by someone who has no equal. Matthew introduces us to Jesus, and we will be as shocked as Matthew was when Jesus invited him, “come, follow me”.

In this 18 day plan, you'll take a dive into scripture and discover the true hope of Christmas.

This one-year plan will take you on a journey in Faith and Love through the New Testament. We hope that you will be challenged to grow spiritually and be inspired as a follower of Jesus. This is Part 4 of 12.

It's so easy to get caught up in all the hall decking and merry making that we forget what Christmas is all about - a baby in a manger who changes everything! So before Christmas slips away and the new year dawns, we invite you to slow down and take some time to prepare your heart for the celebration “God with us.”

Who is God to you? Is He angry and ready to pounce on you every time you fail? Or is He the God who is love, grace, and mercy? The way you view God will determine how you will stand in hard times. You will confidently know that your God has your back when you complete this 28-day journey to discover who God is through Matthew.

Join us for a chapter-by-chapter study of the book of Matthew. This plan covers the entire book of Matthew, including chapter summaries and study questions to help you get the most out of your Bible reading. This study, along with other resources, can be found on everydayscripture.org - Our mission is to encourage spiritual growth the knowledge of God's Word. We hope you join us!
