John 4:44-45

Would you walk barefoot across a floor covered in LEGOs? Of course not! When we see danger, we look for protection. Our hearts and minds are constantly under attack from the powers of sin, but God has got us covered! In this plan, we will explore how we can be protected as we fight for God’s Kingdom.

Come on a journey with me and learn more about the life of Jesus. Together we watch a short clip of the movie The Life of Jesus and reflect on what we see. Discover who Jesus really was and what He can mean to you. This reading plan is the second of 10. You can read each plan separately, but we challenge you to complete the whole journey.

Racial unity can be elusive. As a black man who’s also a leader in white evangelicalism, Dr. Tony Evans understands how hard it can be to bring these worlds together. Yet he’s convinced that the gospel provides a way for Christians to find oneness despite the things that divide us. Dr. Evans shows us God's heart for racial unity by examining the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman.

Throughout the New Testament, Jesus shows compassion toward unlikely “sinners” who expressed great faith. Whether tax collectors, Roman centurions, or Samaritan women, Jesus repeatedly shows that he came to rescue people burdened with shame. During this plan, Bible teacher and author Kat Armstrong illustrates how these stories strengthen our understanding of God’s empathy and knowledge of how all types of people express beautiful faith in Jesus.
