The greatest call for Christian moms is to know God and help others know Him, too. The readings in this 8-day plan are selected from the NIV Mom's Devotional Bible, offering encouragement and a wise perspective as you seek to grow in the area of patience and godly character.

Powerful Letters - They rocked the early churches. Written by Jesus’ closest disciples, John and Peter, his half-brothers, James and John, and an enigmatic author, these letters continue to overturn thinking. They equip us to defend and attack the evil forces and dark ages. They inspire, empower, and enable us to allow Christ to live through us. They encourage us to enlarge our vision to see the world from the perspective of eternity.

As the half brother of Jesus, James knew a side of our Lord that few others did. He ate with Him, slept with Him, played brotherly pranks. He worked alongside Jesus in the carpenter’s shop. He loved his brother. But as is the case in so many families, James was too close to his brother to recognize Him as special. I can only imagine the confusion and embarrassment James felt when his big brother told people He was the Messiah! I can only imagine the shame James carried when his big brother was executed like a common criminal. Then, after Jesus was dead and buried, James saw Him. His brother, whom he loved, stood right before his eyes! James lived out the remainder of his days building the church. We never hear James boasting about his relationship with Jesus. Instead, he refers to himself as Jesus’ servant. He calls his fellow Christians “brothers.” The book of James doesn’t tell us how to become a Christian. Instead, it is a practical how-to guide for Christian living. He tells us to persevere, to stand firm in our faith. He tells us to stop talking about our faith and start living it. He tells us to treat everyone equally and to stop playing favorites, to control our tongues, to seek God for all of life’s answers. James is a no-nonsense kind of guy. So pour yourself a cup of coffee and flavor it just right. Then, sit back and get ready to learn timeless lessons from James 1, the brother of our Lord.

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is a yearly reminder of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples that “they may be one so that the world may believe” (see John 17.21). The theme for the week of prayer in 2018, "Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power" is inspired by Exodus 15:6.

The book of James reads like a series of Post-it notes written by a pastor friend—daily nuggets of advice and information to revisit time and again. God wants to build your character—by following Christ's example and serving others. This 8-day series written by Bill Rumbaugh takes you through James, where you can find encouragement in living your Christian life.

James has a knack for highlighting common mistakes in the Christian life and drawing us back into a humble admission that we need God’s mercy every day. For those of us who feel lethargic in the faith or who fear that Christian progress as of late has been slow, if measurable at all, the letter of James provides real medicine — sometimes difficult to take but always good for you!

Wisdom is more than intelligence or insight. It is not simply mental but moral. It is understanding how to live God’s way in God’s world and then acting on that. Among the New Testament epistle writers, James is especially concerned that we take hold of God’s wisdom. As we put our faith in a gracious Father, He will give us the wisdom to walk in a way that pleases Him.

Faith isn’t based on emotions or circumstances, but on a revelation of who God is. In this plan by David Campbell, discover how the Holy Spirit anchors our faith in God’s character and equips us to walk in His purpose. Even in uncertainty, God is more than enough.

Follow along as we reflect on the idea that #KillingIt  is "killing us." This series will be inspired by the first 2 chapters of the book of 1 Corinthians, looking at Paul's intro into how to live a life in the way of the cross.

How should we respond to life’s trials? James’ letter delivers the answer: whatever comes, choose to live by faith.

God-given faith includes power to transform our thoughts, priorities, decisions and relationships.

Deeper into Scripture is a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God’s Word daily and deeply. To accomplish this we have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times. Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered. This repetitive reading and instruction takes us deeply into the Word of God and draws us closer to Him.

Whenever we feel we have a better plan than God, we set ourselves up for disaster. Sadly, we often fall into this trap, assuming that God will act on behalf of the “right” people and against the “wrong” ones. In this 11-day plan, Alistair Begg dives into the story of Jonah, the Old Testament prophet who did not want to preach.

If you’ve lost something, someone, or your faith feels stretched to the breaking point, then this Bible Plan from Life.Church Pastor Craig Groeschel’s book, Hope in the Dark, might be exactly what you need. If you want to believe, but you’re not sure how, this is for you.

True faith produces fruit. A faith without action and without life change is ultimately a dead faith. The book of James speaks to the realities of a living faith in Jesus—the kind of roll-up-your-sleeves and get-your-hands-dirty discipleship that is borne out of an authentic relationship with the risen Lord. James writes to believers who know suffering, who've faced trials, and who ultimately desire a deep relationship with God.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to share a bunk bed with Jesus as a kid? The incredible, practical book of James, written by one of Jesus' brothers, gives an inside look at Jesus from a member of his very own family. In this 12-day plan, you will study the writings of James and how he practically presents Jesus as Lord and the object of our faith.

The repeated cry of James is that faith apart from works can never be sustained. We should proclaim this truth because faith makes us doers of the Word, not just hearers. Faith keeps us humble, not proud; directs our tongues to bless, not to curse. Faith causes us to preach the good news to every tribe, tongue, and nation. This is the message of James: Faith/Works.
