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.

Near the end of his life, John was the last of the living apostles and wrote a story about Jesus. It’s his testimony of who Jesus is, what he said, what he did, and who he claimed to be. Jesus has a story. He invites us to make it our story. When we make Jesus’s story our story, we have life in his name. This plan focuses on John 13 and Jesus's prediction of Judas's betrayal, Peter's denial, and Jesus's new commandment to his disciples. It is part of an ongoing series through John.

The Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—are four accounts of one extraordinary life. Each book tells the story of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These books aren't fairytales, fiction, or legend; they are gospel truth.

Join Rebecca McLaughlin in Navigating Gospel Truth, a 5-day study on faithfully reading the accounts of Jesus’s life. Through this journey, your confidence in the truth of Scripture will be renewed and you'll gain a more captivating view of the Savior. And along the way, you'll acquire skills that will help you become a better student of all of Scripture.

Tetelestai—“It is finished.” Jesus’ final words on the Cross have impacted us for eternity. With His death and resurrection, He finished the work of our salvation. But our transformation continues.

One way to view life’s most painful journeys is through the prism of grieve, breathe, receive (GBR). When Friday’s sudden darkness (grief) leads to Saturday’s confusion and questions (breathe), we eagerly await Sunday’s resurrected peace and possibility (receive). Along the way, we can embrace the process or resist it. I pray that in these devotionals, you will glimpse the power of grace, mercy, love, and hope for your own journey.

Explore the lives and faith of five people in Scripture who acted unrighteously despite being committed to God. Bible teacher and author Kat Armstrong shares how God doesn't reduce them to their worst moments, but loves people who fail time and again—just like us.

In the most difficult times, we can deeply trust that those are the very circumstances God will use to accomplish His eternal plan in us! He is faithful not to wound us at random; He is faithful to save us forever. Throughout our lives, we will surely experience pain and heartache, but they are not meant to thwart the mission of the Lord, but to further it! So, keep standing. Keep trusting.        

We all have a common denominator. We will die. I will die. You will die. Death will defeat you. You won’t be able to dodge it, sidestep it, trick it or make it disappear. But then there is Jesus, the man who defeated the grave. Jesus stood toe to toe with the grave and defeated death. When Jesus talks, the grave speaks.

A very divided world needs a unified Church. But with all the chaos around us, how can we as Christians respond? In this 6-day Bible Plan accompanying Pastor Craig’s message series, In God We Trust, we’ll discover how we can bring people together and find unshakable hope.

Jesus and the disciples' last evening together wasn't an idyllic holiday meal with good friends. Jesus knows that two of the men around the table will soon fail him and break apart the fellowship they have shared the last three years. His leadership in preparing the community for the coming relational violations is a powerful example for us.

As you prepare to celebrate death’s defeat and the hope of salvation this Easter, reflect on some of the final statements Jesus made during His time on earth, and discover the powerful lessons He delivered with each word.

Have you heard the term “hangry”? It's when one is so hungry they let their emotions take over their responses. As soon as they've eaten, they return to normal. In Plan 6, we see some hungry people. Not only are they hungry physically, but Jesus sees their need is spiritual. Their hunger revealed their heart position more than anything else. What does your hunger reveal about you?
