Worship is a grand and all-encompassing word. This 4-day reading plan shows what it means and how people of the Bible were called to worship the God of heaven.

It's easy to allocate one day a year to acknowledge what we're thankful for, but what if we taught our children how to have hearts of gratitude in acknowledgement for all of God's continued faithfulness? This 4-day Thanksgiving devotional teaches parents how to model gratitude for their children, even when life gets hard.

David was a humble shepherd who God chose to be king. We can learn three things about God from David’s life: God can use anyone, God can forgive anyone who repents of their sins, and God should be worshipped by everyone. Through it all, David was a man after God’s own heart.

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.
