Deuteronomy 8:12-14

Behind every great move of God, there have been Gospel Patrons - people who are financially invested and personally involved in the spread of the gospel. This three-day devotional introduces stories from Scripture and history, to invite you to discover your call to Gospel Patronage today. The readings are drawn from Chapter One of the 'Gospel Patrons' book.

God’s relationship with the nation of Israel is a love story spanning centuries. In this 5-day plan, we’ll explore a rocky time between God and his chosen people and see how the prophet Hosea’s warnings for the nation remain relevant for us today.

These five reflections from scripture through the prisms of Jesus, Paul, Solomon, and Wesley, plus the subject of debt, are not exhaustive and, for the sake of continuity, are selective.

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re born again and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to different values about right and wrong, and a different lifestyle to match it. This series of 5-day plans uses the 10 Commandments (following the classic Augustinian ordering) as a vehicle for an alternative, Christ-like morality and Jesus-way of living.
