Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re in Christ and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to weird ideas and alternate beliefs about reality. This series of 5-day plans uses classic Christian Creeds as a vehicle to explain the Christian worldview compared to the world’s, and help us see reality through Jesus’s eyes.

Understanding and delighting in God's law? Sign me up! The questions around the promises of God, obedience to the law, and faith are ancient. Like Israel and the early church, believers today desire to obey the Lord. We desire to grow in our faith, and we feel the tension of wanting to “do” the right thing when it comes to our faith. Join Bible teacher Kristie Anyabwile in this 5-day plan as we study how the New Testament church grappled with these issues of obedience to the law and faith in Christ.

Through the scattered, growing group of Jesus followers, the gospel is advancing to the ends of the earth. We pick up with the missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas, and Paul’s first recorded sermon, which is a masterpiece. This 5-day plan continues a journey through 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.
