Matthew 10:21

What if the worlds view of success is God’s definition of failure? What defines success in today's culture, and how does this compare to the teachings of the Bible? Dale Partridge examines what it means to be successful in the eyes of God verses cultural expectations.

What is your identity in Christ? Who is Christ calling you to be? This 5-day devotional examines those questions and covers topics such your calling to be a light to the world, a generous giver, and a champion of unity and fellowship.

Acts shows us the boldness of those first believers in the face of threat. It shows their pride in identifying with Jesus. It shows them unashamed. 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.

Many are called, few are commissioned. Jesus gives his followers a taste of going out to preach, teach, and heal. Going in faith, they experience amazing powers that Christ endowed them. Christ also appraises them of the discipline and sacrifice involved, with far greater rewards for service. While service is highly monetized these days, there are still the few serving in tune with their Master in Heaven. Perhaps little-known today but famous in Heaven.
