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.

Because prayer prepares the way for God to move in the hearts of others—and in us. This 6-day Bible plan introduces a simple yet powerful rhythm: Prayer. Care. Share. It starts with praying intentionally for the people God has placed in your life (your oikos), and continues with loving action and Spirit-led sharing.

Jesus said, ‘Come, follow me.’ Have you ever thought to ask, ‘Where are we going?’ What do you do when following Jesus leads to some unexpected and undesired places? Do you pray, ‘God bless me, but don’t mess with me.' What does it mean to follow Jesus? What’s God’s purpose for your life? Why does the pursuit of God often lead to seasons of difficulty? How does God go about changing the world? How does God go about changing you?

We all have questions. These questions often lead us on a quest to seek the right answer. We want to explore the 7 Frequently Asked Questions and seek answers based on the Bible. At the foundation of these questions are a deep TRUST in God, surrendering to His will, even when you are not convinced of the answers. Our prayer is that you will treasure a deep relationship of TRUST in Jesus.
