This 4-day devotional is from Kari Jobe, based on the song “Heal Our Land” from her new album, The Garden. 

We offer a collection of parables as spoken by Jesus and recorded in the Gospels in this reading plan series. Part 1 collection is all about the righteousness of our acts.

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 history, there’s never been a more masterful Storyteller than Jesus. He taught thousands from every walk of life during His earthly ministry, conveying life-changing truths through vivid word pictures or Parables. Whether you’re battling anxiety, struggling with a strained relationship, or simply want to know God’s Word deeply, I invite you to journey with me through five life lessons from Jesus where He answers some tough questions.

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.

Starting over can feel daunting, especially after a big failure or losing someone or something you love. What are you going to do about the very real obstacles that seem to make a new beginning seem impossible? This plan explores the four biggest obstacles to starting over and how Jesus equips us to overcome them with His power and strength.

Matthew writes to God’s people and walks them on a journey that will take them from where they are to be Disciple Makers.  This is the tenth of 27 devotional plans walking us through the book of Matthew.  Jesus shows His disciples how to reach out to a broken world – their world.  Then He sends them out to touch it with the Kingdom truths they have learned.  

When you are in Christ, His Blood has the power to set you free from every addiction, every struggle, every form of bitterness, barrenness, and every weight that’s holding you back from pursuing your God-given Destiny. “Be Not Entangled” was designed to reveal to readers how Jesus Christ breaks the cycle of sin and through His Blood, Christ dismantles the enemy’s grip from your heart forever!

Routes to progress and success often take detours. Never is there a straight path toward either of them. And in those unscheduled stops and perceived pauses, that’s where “progress” is thwarted — I call these moments, Crushing moments. They seek to threaten and destroy our journey from what we’ve determined is our destination. But crushing moments are never truly the end. Rather, the crushing becomes the creation of something new. They reveal there is more to our lives than what we had planned.

Jesus dined in diversity but did not compromise His walk with God. He spoke with clarity, without condoning sin or condemning sinners. His example shocked the Pharisees and transformed a tax collector. Be a difference maker. Widen your impact through a deep relationship with God. This seven-day series will challenge you to step out of your comfort zone, engage with others in our diverse world, and share Christ’s love.

The presence of God has a transformational influence on our lives. It fills us with vision and confidence. It heals and redefines us.

I sense that the Lord wants us to study the Holy Habit of Fasting. Fasting is going without food in order to feast on Jesus. I sense the Lord wants his people to learn more about fasting, how to practice fasting and learn how to do it well and effectively for the kingdom.

This reading plan explores the first Gospel. This Gospel explains that Jesus was the king of Jews that brought the kingdom of heaven, even though Jesus didn't arrive in the way people expected.

Fasting is more than a physical act. When done biblically and with the proper heart posture, a fast can “fast forward” you into healing, breakthrough, deliverance, freedom, and answered prayer. Join Pastor Mike Signorelli in this 14-day reading plan and discover how to completely transform your relationship with God through prayer and fasting!
