Matthew 7:23

Independence is impossible because you’re always depending on something: water to hydrate you, food to nourish you, and God to hold all things in the world together. You were created to be dependent. You must realize that you can do absolutely nothing without Christ—you need God. If you’re open to learning what it looks like to depend on God fully, then this plan is for you!

Jesus used parables to teach others, and these still speak to us today. Many parables are well known; others less so. Some bring comfort; others correction. Some are easy; others difficult. Of all parables, we hear a take-away message that sounds right & fine, but may miss the key point – likely because that teaching is so difficult. In this devotional, we take a closer look at this most difficult parable.

Is church attendance enough to save? Many confuse being a “good person” or a local church member with having a true relationship with Christ. This 3-day plan dives into the reality of the New Birth. Using the “Romans Map to Salvation” and the story of a devoted churchgoer who discovered he was missing the most important thing, we explore the difference between religious tradition and spiritual transformation. Learn how to move beyond "doing religion" to truly knowing Jesus. Are you just in church, or have you been born again?
