ISAIAS 27:6

Do you want to become more like Jesus? Are you struggling to follow Him fully? Join Pastor Scott Lackey of New Story Church for this seven-day devotional as we journey through Jesus’ farewell message in John 14–16. In His farewell message, Jesus invites us into a process called Christosis. Christosis means that Jesus became like us so that we could be with Him and become like Him. He gives us the tools we need to become like Him and to follow Him fully.

Who better to define Jesus than Himself? That’s exactly what He does in His seven “I AM” statements throughout the gospel of John. In this plan readers will gain a deeper understanding of who Jesus is and the power He brings to the lives of His followers.

What does a life that is flourishing in the Lord look like? A garden flourishes when the roots of the plants are nourished with rich, fertile soil and sufficient water. In this series, we will explore some Scripture passages that remind us of the practices, convictions and connections which help our faith and lives to flourish, whatever our circumstances.

These reading passages are designed to help you discover just what it means to be loved by an awesome God. Taken from the NIV Discover God's Heart Bible, they are designed to help you explore the verses that give us insight into God’s heart. These 21 daily readings will also illuminate ways in which you can grow closer to God as you learn more about the Scriptures.
