This video series takes a look at how you can determine truth in a post-truth world.

In a world filled with injustice, social unrest, political division, and polarized opinions, what would God have us do? Do we protest and fight injustice, or do we pray and ask God to intervene? Maybe we do both. In this study, we look to God's word for help to live within the tension.

God is perfect and we are not. How do we continue to strive toward being more like Christ when we know we will continually fail? Let's look at Matthew 4 and 5 in the Streetlights New Testament.

Just as your physical body has a heart, so does your spirit. This heart, while invisible to you and those around you, is perfectly visible to God. What we allow in our hearts will affect everything in our lives. David had the mind, will, and emotions of God. That is what I call victory in your heart. Devon D. Daniel, Executive Pastor

In 100 carefully selected passages from the Bible, you will discover who Jesus is and why he is so significant – even life-transforming. Through both Old and New Testament readings, you will discover why God sent Jesus, what Jesus taught, how he treated people, why he did miracles, the meaning of his death, the significance of his resurrection, and what the Bible says about his second coming.

When suffering feels suffocating, when hurt blinds us, when grief tries to destroy us—what hope does Scripture provide us? In this 5-day Plan, explore what the book of Romans has to say about suffering, and discover hope rooted in God’s Word.

You might be a billionaire, or you could be in middle school–either way, you can be generous. Being generous has less to do with your bank account and more to do with your mindset. Jesus lived generously, and He’s inviting you to follow His lead. This 5-day Plan will provide you with simple steps to live generously.

Injustice may be the single most important reason we need to believe God’s omniscience, says Bible teacher Lisa Whittle. When we know that God knows even more than we do about the wrongs done to us, we can be confident He will make everything right in His perfect time. In this five-day study drawn from her book God Knows, Pastor Lisa helps us find constructive ways to seek biblical justice rather than vengeance.

Consumed by modern-day conveniences and entertainment, we are formed by that which we behold. Yet, as Christians, we are called to be conformed to Christ, which includes rediscovering the truth, goodness, and beauty of God. This five-day devotional from Coleman Ford helps quiet the distractions and redirects your focus to the gospel message, which is full of truth, goodness, and beauty and is powerful to make you whole and flourishing.

In recent years, partisan politics have divided churches and friends and families like never before. This division suggests that as Christians, our allegiance to the state is sometimes, in practice, stronger than our allegiance to Christ. This week’s devotional brings us back to what it looks like to live out the beautiful, subversive, upside-down “politics” of the Gospel.

Explore the transformative power of God's love through these devotionals. Learn about loving your enemies, the unbreakable bond of God's love, and the command to love one another. Each devotional, grounded in Scripture, guides you to a deeper understanding and practical application of Christ-like love in everyday life

Reading Red: The Gospel According to Jesus is a generational gift to the Body of Christ with an aim to return the Church back to the actual teachings of Jesus Himself. As we revisit the gospel, according to Jesus, we’ll be better suited to re-present Him more accurately to the current generation. This plan is based on "Reading Red," a book and workbook by Shawn Echols.

Perhaps the most famous speech ever given, this relatively small collection has shaped the lives of billions, and in many ways created the world we see around us today. Together we'll look at how Jesus' Sermon can be used as a blueprint for us to live our lives to its absolute fullest.

The Bible has a lot to say about litigation. Believers and unbelievers alike often end up in court, seeking money and justice. But the Bible encourages gentleness when settling our differences.

This devotional draws inspiration from Benjamin E. Mays' groundbreaking work Seeking to Be Christian in Race Relations, offering reflections that challenge readers to embody justice, love, and reconciliation. Mays, a theologian, educator, and civil rights advocate, explores what it means to live out Christ’s teachings in the face of systemic inequality and social unrest.

Christians often have this misconception that the Old Testament Law is irrelevant, but that was not Jesus’ approach to the Law. After establishing the significance of the Law in Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus proceeded to expound on how specific laws were meant to be lived out. In fact, Jesus actually intensified them to reveal their heart requirements. The truth is, beyond the surface observance of external rules, the Law was meant to point God’s people towards underlying attitudes required of them.

It’s important to know Jesus and what is important to Him so we understand our need for Him. Reflecting on what Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount, will help us draw closer to Him.

Matthew writes to God’s people and walks them on a journey that will take them from where they are to be Disciple Makers.  This is the fifth of 27 devotional plans walking us through the book of Matthew.  Jesus describes His Kingdom rules.  Jesus compares their understanding of Moses’ Law with true kingdom rules.  Let them reveal God’s heart to us. 

The four Gospels are filled with demands from Jesus. These demands are Jesus’ way of showing us who He is and what He expects of us. They are not harsh demands originating from a selfish desire to control but loving directions for our good and ultimate satisfaction. This Bible study will guide you through some of these demands, with the ultimate end of glorifying God through obedience to His Son.

Due to the pandemic, the last two years have left many without loved ones, changed an individual’s health, and for some, job loss! Are you looking for a new beginning?

Please join me in this 6-day devotional using God’s Word as our guide!

Do you know what love is? People thought they did, but Jesus came and remixed everything! This six-day Bible Plan will help you learn all about Jesus’ remixed love. What’s this remixed love all about? Spoiler: It’s less about what’s in it for you and more about others!

Preteens have questions—and they’re not always easy to answer. Questions like “Where is heaven and what’s it like?” or “Why is there always change?” or “Is God disappointed in me?” This Bible Plan answers five big questions (plus a bonus one!) that preteens are asking about God, themselves, and their place in the Body of Christ.

For centuries the white flag has been the universal symbol of surrender. We like to see the white flag when our enemy is flying it, but when we are the ones hoisting it, we're dismayed. However, to be faithful followers of Jesus, surrender is required. Let’s look at some areas where we can trust God to help us in those places where we may struggle with surrender.

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.
