LEVITIKAS 19:18

In this 3-day devotional, Eugene Peterson, the pastor-poet behind The Message Bible, imparts a glimpse of his compelling quest to discover not only how to be a pastor but how to be a human being. It is Peterson's journey to live and teach a life of congruence - between what we do and the way we do it, between what is written in Scripture and how we live out that truth.

The Bible has a lot to say about partiality. God doesn't have favorites. And if we want others to see Jesus in us, then... neither should we. This 3-day plan will help readers gain a biblical understanding and perspective of partiality, apply it to their lives, and prepare them to share this learning with others.

Sometimes life is dark and difficult, leading us to despair. You may wonder, " Why am I here? What’s the point? Why do bad things happen?" When life seems empty and futile, you need to know God understands and has a purpose for you. In this study, you will learn how pain can drive you to make significant changes that can lead to a life full of meaning and hope.

In a world where so much division and tension exists, we’d all be better off if we learned to love others—even if it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable. In this 4-day plan, we’ll discuss who our neighbors are and how to love them.
