2 Corinthians (2 Co) 5:14

God's grace liberates us. When we live under grace, we are free to risk and dream and love. Taken from the new 60-day devotional "Grace Untamed."

Jesus made big promises to those who follow him: perfect peace, abiding joy, and supernatural power, but these promises often feel disconnected from our experience. How do we actually take ground in our spiritual growth? Pastor Justin Kendrick has written the book Bury Your Ordinary to teach seven spiritual habits that lead to explosive growth and how to develop them in your life. Dive into the second habit: Radiance.

Many people receive Jesus and then spend years wondering what their life is now supposed to look like. The answer is simpler and more profound than most expect. You were not saved just to go to heaven. You were saved so that Jesus could be Lord over everything you are. This plan explores what it truly means to have Jesus as Lord, why your life is no longer your own, and how living under His ownership is not a burden but the greatest purpose you could ever walk in.

The vocations represented in the characters of Christmas can teach us a lot about God and how our work is a means of co-laboring with “the newborn King.” In this four-day plan, we’ll look at the vocations of the innkeeper, King Herod, the nameless manger builder, and Jesus himself to draw out applications for our own work today.
