1 ಪೇತ್ರನು 2:5

1 Peter was written to early Christians scattered throughout Asia Minor. Peter called his beloved readers “elect exiles” because they were suffering for their faith and longing for their heavenly home. Desiring to encourage them to live victoriously while trusting the Lord, he identified three living things they had in their sojourning. You also have these things, Christian: a living hope, the living Word, and the living stone–Jesus Christ himself.

Based on the book HomeFirst: Finding Balance, Embracing Ease, and Living a Christ-Centered Life, this 3-day devotional by Dr. Shenica Nelson invites you to pause, reflect, and realign your priorities at the feet of Jesus. Through Scripture and practical guidance, you’ll learn how to release old patterns that no longer serve you and embrace new rhythms of peace, purpose, and presence.

This reading plan includes three daily devotions based on Tony Evans’ book Unleashed: Releasing God’s Glorious Kingdom in and through You. This study will explore what is needed in our lives to unleash the power of God in our lives to bring His kingdom to this world. We will look into what it means to unleash God’s kingdom purpose in our lives, what it means to stand on the truth that is Jesus and His Word, and how God provides us with all that we need to accomplish His kingdom agenda.

Across these three devotions, you will be invited to return to the foundation, realign your life to Christ, and partner with the Holy Spirit in God’s ongoing work on the earth.
