Life, relationships, forgiveness; there are so many facets to living with one another. Join us as we share some thoughts and scriptures about how we can find strength and rest in the Lord and His Word.

Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount resounds in history as the most compact teaching, full of wisdom and truth for our daily lives. Christ’s teachings aren’t just practical; they’re a radical call to love others and follow him. Far from pithy advice, Jesus’ sermon represents a heavy demand for those who want to become his disciple. Sit at the feet of Jesus with this companion to the Sermon on the Mount.

This series will take a look at the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew. 5 - 7). It will benefit readers by helping them to better understand the content of the Sermon and also to understand its relevance and application today.

We all know that we should read our Bible, pray, and be the church, but what if we actually started doing that?

Life demands we make critical choices, but how can you do so effectively? Your ability to discern can make all the difference in what your future looks like. As you read, you will discover how to measure what you are taught against the truth of God’s Word, how to develop a life-giving connection with God, and the path to finding clear direction from the Holy Spirit.

How can we, as Christians, be civil people in an uncivil time? The best description of civility I know is found in Galatians 5:22–23. If we would be people of civility, we need to be people who manifest the fruit of the Spirit. Let’s look at each manifestation of that fruit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Dive deep into what it means to be a disciple of Jesus as you dedicate 10 days to studying perhaps the most influential sermon of all time - The Sermon on the Mount. Each day will invite you to explore an aspect of discipleship from the message Jesus gave his very first disciples. Discover what it means to live as a follower of Jesus with "A New Way of Being."

The Bible is clear about it: we humans are sinful and deserve punishment. But, the Bible also explains that God offers forgiveness if we confess and turn away from our sins. God also enables us to forgive ourselves and others, which is very freeing and helps us to restore relationships. This reading plan discusses some key Bible verses about receiving and giving forgiveness.

This 10-Day Contemplative Prayer Guide through the Lord’s Prayer is intended to slow you down, practice listening in moments of silence and solitude, and experience prayer relationally over wish-listing and mental effort. We encourage you to start with silence and acknowledgement of God’s presence, then dwell on the given scriptures, and finally take 30 slow minutes on the devotional deep-dive provided for each day’s focus line of the Lord’s prayer.

Some days we're too busy. Some days we simply don't have the words. But the longer we put off our prayers, the more struggle and frustration we feel due to our distance from God. This reading plan for men is designed to build the regular habit of intentional prayer, offering inspiration for carving out time to communicate with our King and experience the fullness of joy in His presence.

Forgiveness is at the core of the gospel. Jesus came to die for our sins - so that we can be forgiven. God the Father expects the same from us: To forgive others. But it is not always easy for us to do it.

Have you ever studied the Lord’s Prayer? I believe the Lord’s prayer is the example of how you and I can call out to our Heavenly Father! Walk with me as we explore each word and sentence to find richness and encouragement for our lives in each verse!

The Letters of John guide us through what it looks like to live as a follower of Christ.

One of the most famous sections in the Bible can be found in Exodus 20, often called the Ten Commandments. The Bible does not call them ’the Ten Commandments,’ but ‘The Ten Words.’ These ‘Ten Words’ or instructions God gave form the basis for making right choices, the foundation on which to make good practical, moral, and ethical decisions, personally and for your family, business and society.

Chapter 5 is the centre point of Matthew’s presentation of the sayings of Jesus, particularly as it relates to the Law. I hope you are as taken by the words and authority of Jesus as I have been. This is nothing less than our manifesto – kingdom behaviour, ethics, and call, all in these verses. What Jesus says is pure genius. How Matthew puts it together is inspiring.
