MAREKO, 14:27

Life & Death. You may encounter them both daily, you might even say they are a part of this life. Jesus, though, is the "prince of life": He died and rose again from the dead; He has the final word. Life and death come together in Jesus in a special way. What does that mean for you as a disciple of Jesus? What do you live for? And what would you give your life for?

In the middle of the pain you didn’t cause, the change you didn’t want, the reality you didn’t know was coming . . . your life can still be beautiful. Because with God, there’s always more than we see being worked out behind the scenes. Join Lysa TerKeurst as she invites you to start hoping again with this 5-day reading plan from her devotional, Seeing Beautiful Again.

Acts is a story rooted in prayer and shows how those first Christians went about discerning Christ’s will. This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of 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.

Have you ever found yourself struggling to forgive someone who has hurt you repeatedly? We intuitively understand . . . three strikes, you’re out. Three failures seem to be the built-in breaking point for most of us. But the Way of Jesus says forgiveness has the final word, never failure. Micah E. Davis invites you to join him for this five-day reading plan from his new book, Three Strikes, You’re Forgiven, to discover freedom and healing from your hurt.
