We pick up with the missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas, and Paul’s first recorded sermon, which is a masterpiece. This 5-day plan continues a journey through Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

This 5-day reading plan explores the life of King David. Each day focuses on a key aspect of David’s character—his heart for God, courage, trust, prayer, and worship.

Perfect for anyone longing to grow spiritually and embrace God’s presence in every season of life.
