پلانی خوێندنەوەی بێبەرامبەر و بابەتی پەرستشی پەیوەست بە مەتا 5:21

Jesus Christ came to earth for a purpose. His coming was a conscious decision. During the years in which He traveled around the land of Israel and made God's Kingdom known, He also explained why He came to earth. Several times, we read in the Gospels: “I have come to...”. This reading plan aims to trace some of those statements to make us aware of Jesus’ mission.

When Jesus saw the crowd and sat down to teach them on some unnamed hillside in Palestine, he refuted forever the false idea that somehow we can be Christians and citizens of the Kingdom of God in good standing without experiencing life change. Let the words of Jesus land on your ears and leave you astonished. The standard of righteousness described in the Sermon on the Mount should leave us feeling utterly helpless when we think of our own small obedience, but gloriously encouraged as we depend upon the indwelling Spirit who brings us into union with Christ’s perfect righteousness

This reading plan explores the first Gospel. This Gospel explains that Jesus was the king of Jews that brought the kingdom of heaven, even though Jesus didn't arrive in the way people expected.

Similar to basic training, this plan will challenge you to get spiritually fit in God’s Word. This short, introductory study will help you journey through the life of Jesus, our Commander, as recorded by those who witnessed it

The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ orientation address to His disciples. In the rest of the New Testament we find more details on how to build our lives to maturity, as individuals and as part of a church. But we can begin at no better place than here. This is where the Lord chooses to begin His disciples’ training with solid building blocks for a godly life.

Life gives us roles, but not scripts. We need a leader with vision, clear direction, and a willingness to do hard things for the greater good. In the Bible, Jesus is referred to as “Lord,” which means boss or commander. He can give you the guidance to transform every aspect of your life. In this plan, you’ll learn about the life and miracles of Jesus recorded by his first followers.

This plan will explore the Sermon on the Mount, an orientation to the Kingdom of God. In this famous sermon, we're taught how living in God's kingdom transforms our lives on a practical level, altering our understanding of and approach to our purpose, the Law, conflict, revenge, sexuality, marriage, spiritual rhythms, money, worry, and so much more!

Lay the foundation of your faith journey as you experience the Bible through the themes of salvation, the Bible, and prayer. In this 16-day reading plan you'll learn how God wants you to connect with Him so you can live life to the full. Explore the topics of salvation (creation, sin, Jesus, repentance and faith, the Holy Spirit), the Bible (reveals who God is and what he has done, tells us about our reconciliation to God, provides instructions for a full life, how we engage the Bible, how the Bible engages us), and prayer (acronym P.R.A.Y.: praise, repent, ask, yield).

The first four books of the New Testament are called “gospels,” which means “good news.” They are fundamental to the revelation of God’s eternal plan to redeem and save lost humanity. They are often called biographies for they each tell the story of Jesus, his birth, ministry, death, and resurrection. The good news of the Gospels is that Jesus has come, that he is both Savior and King, and people can know this is true because God has raised him from the dead. This section specifically focuses on the longest of the four Gospels, the Gospel of Matthew.

Matthew’s Gospel opens the New Testament by brilliantly introducing the culmination of the entire Old Testament story. After thousands of years and dozens of generations, Jesus had come “to save his people from their sins” (Mathew 1:21). Matthew focuses on Jesus as King of Kings, who had come to reign on the throne of David forever.

This 30-day study examines the healing accounts of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew. How did He heal, who, when, why and what can you learn from Him? Jesus' healing ministry addresses body, soul and spirit. This study may change the way you view healing, and most importantly draw you closer to our Heavenly Father.
