That’s why, when I heard of the solid trust you have in the Master Jesus and your outpouring of love to all the followers of Jesus, I couldn’t stop thanking God for you—every time I prayed, I’d think of you and give thanks. But I do more than thank. I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength! All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.

Life.Church Worship began writing their newest single with an email from Amy Groeschel, Pastor Craig Groeschel’s wife and co-founding pastor of Life.Church. She sent three Scriptures and some personal worship. The resulting song is a from-the-depths declaration of dependence on a God who breaks through like the bright hope of morning sun. This three-day Bible Plan will connect you to the real hope God offers, even now.
Jesus’ earthly life ended with a great climax: His resurrection, post-resurrection appearances, and a physical ascent to heaven. But have you ever wondered what happened next? What is Jesus up to these days? In this short reading plan, Tony Evans uses Ephesians to give a glimpse into Jesus' role now and how we are to reflect Him in our daily lives.
Our travels through life can often feel like a narrow, treacherous road. Spiritual wisdom is God’s way of handling the twists and turns of navigating the journeys of life. This three-day plan by Dr. Tony Evans will tell you steps to accessing that spiritual wisdom.
Identity is a conflict people face as part of their development, but today many face an identity crisis. When we identify with God and know who He is, we get a clear picture of who we are. Until you know that, you will have a misperception of your identity.
