Love God Greatly - Secure in Christ: One Faith, One Family, One Savior

Do you find yourself running but getting nowhere—striving with little to show for it? For thousands of years, multitudes of people just like you have found comfort in the beautiful words God spoke through David in Psalm 23. As a young shepherd who would grow up to slay an unbeatable giant, run from a king who wanted him dead, become king himself and sin so grievously that he murdered to cover it up, David knows a thing or two about trusting God, even when it’s hard. As we’ll discover, rest for our souls comes through surrender, not striving!

The Shepherd and the Sheep

If you are a Christian, you are constantly at war. Not because you are attacked physically, but because spiritual forces try to lure you away from God. To protect you, God offers you spiritual armor. This reading plan explains what this armor of God looks like and how you can use it.

The Armor of God

When the Bible is confusing, Through the Word explains it with clear and concise audio guides for every chapter. Here in Ephesians, we learn who we are and how to walk it out. We are adopted by the King and heirs to the Kingdom. And yet it’s all grace. We don’t earn it, but we can walk worthy of it: in unity, humility, and love. Something we call grace swagger.

Without a doubt, believers all around the world experience spiritual warfare. As women, the enemy attacks us with a barrage of lies that we’re not enough. He tries to get us to compare ourselves over social status, accomplishments, appearance, and position.

Then when the battles in life come, sometimes we’re just not strong enough to fight back. In this 5-Day Devotional Plan you will discover how to stand strong in spiritual warfare as a kingdom woman in battle!

Jesus in All of Philippians - a Video Devotional

Our cultures are full of people and publications offering 'quick fixes' to get us to contentment. But the Bible has a different perspective. The secret to contentment isn't a programme: it's a person. The process of following Jesus, learning to live like Him, and rejoicing in what He's done, is what we were made for. 

It's not easy, but it is so very worth it.

Philippians: The Secret of Contentment

Paul is in prison, and his situation seems hopeless. And yet, he rejoices? For good reason, the letter to the Philippians is known as the "Epistle of Joy." Paul invites us into his inner world, showing how a peace and joy that surpass all understanding are possible through a relationship with Jesus (cf. Philippians 4:7).

This 17-day reading plan will guide you through the letter to the Philippians—ideal for personal or group study. Be encouraged anew to fix your eyes on Christ, no matter your current situation.

Journey with us this month as we explore the theme, “God’s Saving Word: Love.” [Note: Scriptures are quoted in the Good News Translation]

Daily Bible Reading – February 2023, "God’s Saving Word: Love"

Missionary C. T. Studd once said, “Only one life, it will soon be past. Only what's done for Christ will last.” His words emphasize the value of living a life of eternal impact. 

If we want to discover our purpose and choose a life of eternal impact, then we have to begin with four simple action steps found in Colossians 3:1-2.

Choose a Life of Eternal Impact

While imprisoned in Rome, Paul warns believers to remain vigilant against false teaching by beautifully expounding on the cosmic Person of Christ. Jesus is “the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent” (Colossians 1:18). In response to Christ’s preeminence, Paul commands his readers to “seek the things that are above where Christ is…and not on the things that are on earth” (Colossians 3:1-2). 

Preeminent: A Study in Colossians

This devotion from Book of Colossians will equip you with biblical truths and guide you to practice them daily as you continue your walk of faith in Christ.


Book of Colossians

He is the head of the body, the church. He holds creation together. He’s the first, the best, the priority of everything.

New Life In Christ

With many options to turn to for peace, security, and fulfillment, is Jesus enough? Many have developed a "Jesus And" approach to life based on comfort, success, income, or image.

This plan runs Sunday through Saturday for four weeks.
