New Testament Books

Solid Ground is a four‑day journey through Jesus’ parable of the wise and foolish builders (Matthew 7:24-27), designed for anyone whose life feels shaken by pressure, loss, or disappointment. Together, we’ll move from merely hearing Jesus’ words to building on them in everyday choices, so your life, relationships, and faith can stand firm when the storms come.

Solid Ground

If walls could talk or cities had voices, what would the Bible’s ancient sites say about Jesus and your life following Him? Come along on a creative journey through the perspectives of various Bible sites, as “they” describe their encounters with the God of Israel and His Messiah. Can you guess each site before the reveal at the end of these devotions?

If Walls Could Talk

Jesus was intentional with his parables; the synoptic gospels, which give us an overview, present the parable of the sower, the wheat and the weeds, the mustard seed, and the yeast as a whole invitation to grow toward a full life that is given to others.

The Soil, the Seed, the Tree, and the Yeast

The Gospel of Matthew is the most comprehensive portrait of Jesus’ teaching in the New Testament — and one of the most misread. Its familiar passages are often treated as moral advice when Matthew intends something more demanding: an encounter with a person who announces that everything has changed. Over seven days, this plan traces the kingdom Matthew proclaims, the interior righteousness it requires, the community it creates, and the promise that grounds it all: God is with us.

MATTHEW EXPLAINED

Every year, we gather together to pray and fast so that we can hear from God and follow what He says. As followers of Christ, may we faithfully bring the gospel to the nations in obedience to the Great Commission. This family devotional is designed to be used by parents with children from ages two to twelve.

The Mission | Midyear Prayer and Fasting Family Devotional 2026

At the start and middle of every year, we come together as a church to pray and fast to know God more. We believe that God’s heart has always been to reconcile the world to Himself, and He is calling us to actively participate in this mission. As His people set apart for His purpose, let’s discover what God is doing in the world and continue to seek Him and ask Him to grow our passion for missions to reach every nation and campus for His glory.

The Mission | Midyear Prayer and Fasting Devotional 2026

Over the next 7 days, explore The Lord's Prayer. The disciples saw Jesus' prayer life alive, vital and centred on the Father. They asked Him to teach them how to pray. As followers of Jesus in the 21st century, we can ask the same: 
Jesus, teach us to pray.

The Lord’s Prayer- Jesus’ Example for Us

Who is Jesus? This is the ultimate question. Because if Jesus really is who He said He is, it changes everything. But if Jesus is not who He said He is, it also changes everything. Join us in part three of our journey through the Gospel of Matthew to continue to discover the answer to this ultimate question.

Living Changed: The Lord’s Prayer

Jesus ended the Sermon on the Mount with a stark choice: build your life on the rock or on the sand. The difference isn't what you know but what you do with what you know. Over five days, discover how the application of God's Word brings power, authority, and stability when life's storms come. This plan focuses on progress and obedience, not perfection.

Foundations - Building on the Rock

This plan walks through the Lord’s Prayer line by line, helping you rediscover its power beyond mere familiarity. We’ll explore the key themes woven into its words—beginning with worship, moving through provision, pardon, forgiveness, and protection, and ending once again in worship. The Lord’s Prayer isn’t just a routine—it’s a rhythm. A holy cadence that syncs our hearts with heaven.

Below as in Above: 5 Days in the Lord's Prayer

In the fifth and final part of this verse-by-verse breakdown of the Gospel of Matthew, we'll work our way through Matthew 21-28, exploring the final week of Jesus' life, His death, resurrection, and ascension to Heaven.



Matthew 21-28: Culmination of the Kingdom

The Beatitudes are more than beautiful sayings—they are profound truths that reveal the heart of God's kingdom. Each blessing offers a glimpse into Christ's vision for His followers, but their full significance lies beneath the surface. This eight-day devotional explores the deep theological roots of the Beatitudes, uncovering how they connect to God's nature, our redemption, and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit.

The Beatitudes Revisited

A journey through the Sermon on the Mount. Looking at its bold,
revolutionary, and clear declaration of God’s plan for Humanity.

The Kings Speech: A Devotional on the Sermon on the Mount

In Matthew 26-28, we read in detail about Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection. This reading plan will help you go step by step through this impressive story and discover how these events have great meaning for you as well.

The Death and Resurrection of the King

Jesus begins his earthly ministry when he is about thirty years old (Luke 3:23). We call this phase “Ministry Foundations.” It lasts about a year and a half. During this time, Jesus will issue two calls. To unbelievers, he says, “Come and see.” To believers, he says, “Follow me” (John 1:39-40).

The Life of Jesus Pt. 2 – Ministry Foundations

This one month Bible reading plan by Zach Windahl features one gospel per week for four weeks. It is meant to be repeated every month to consistently be engaged with the life of Jesus. 

Gospels in a Month

When anxiety attacks, what should be our response? As we continue our trek through the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us the answer in the conclusion of chapter 6: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33 ESV). In “Seek First”, we’re going to walk through Matthew 6:25–7:11 and take a closer look at four things we’re often tempted to pursue before Jesus. Prayerfully, as we study God’s Word together, our worry will be replaced with a desire to seek Him first!

Seek First

Join us for a 90-day Bible Reading Plan dedicated to reading through the four gospels! It will open discussions, lead you to personal growth and multiply your view of our marvelous Savior!

Holy 90 (The Four Gospels)

Each day includes a video from our Sermon on the Mount series, reflection questions, and a fresh biblical translation from the BibleProject Scholarship team. Follow this plan to better understand and engage with Jesus’ revolutionary teachings.

BibleProject | Sermon on the Mount

Words are powerful. With them, we can build up or tear down, bless or curse, heal or wound. The Bible is clear about the weight our words carry they reflect the state of our hearts and have the power to shape the atmosphere around us. In this five-day devotional, we'll explore the profound influence of our speech on our relationships, our faith, and even our destiny.

The Power of Words

Jesus calls us to make disciples, yet starting spiritual conversations can feel intimidating. This devotional explores how prayer becomes the foundation for sharing our faith with confidence and compassion. By beginning with prayer, we learn to meet people where they are and trust God to work in their hearts. Prayer helps others feel seen, heard, and loved, releases burdens we cannot carry alone, and aligns our hearts with God’s will. Discover how prayer can open doors, strengthen obedience, and draw others closer to Jesus.

Power of Disciple Making Through Prayer

Jesus emphasized the importance of the faith of people in enabling God to work in great power. But what does faith-filled prayer that moves mountains look like? There are many misconceptions around the place. This plan takes you through seven of Jesus' statements on faith in the Gospel of Matthew and draws out a clear picture of mountain-moving faith that will both encourage and challenge you. 

Mountain Moving Faith and Prayer

Matthew

Meet Jesus in the Gospel of Mark! This children’s reading plan takes you on an adventure through the Gospel of Mark where you will learn who Jesus is, what He did, and how much He loves people. Each day we discover more about Jesus.

Meeting Jesus in the Book of Mark

The Gospel of Mark wastes no time. It opens mid-action, moves without pause, and ends without resolution — leaving the reader in the same silence as the women who fled from the empty tomb. Of the four Gospels, Mark is the most urgent and the most honest about what following Jesus costs. Over seven days, this plan traces that urgency: who Jesus is, what genuine authority looks like, what the cross demands, why failure is not the final word, and what the open ending is still asking of every reader who arrives at it.

MARK EXPLAINED

Starting with God 5: How to Start is a 5‑day plan designed to help you encounter God through the Bible.  Reading with confidence and faith. This plan encourages you to start not with self‑improvement, but with God—revealed fully in Jesus and faithfully through Scripture. You’ll explore what it means to be born again, why faith must lead to obedience, how to start reading the Gospels (beginning with Mark), and how to keep going with the whole story. No shortcuts—just a faithful beginning with Jesus.

Starting With God 5 - How to Start

If you’re new to Jesus, new to the Bible, or helping a friend who is - Start Here. For the next 15 days, these 5-minute audio guides will walk you step-by-step through two fundamental Bible books: Mark and Colossians. Track Jesus’ story and discover the basics of following Him, with daily questions for individual reflection or group discussion. Follow once to get started, then invite a friend and follow again!

Start Here | First Steps With Jesus

Who is Jesus? Philosophy, literature, art, politics -- all of them have been profoundly impacted by the life and teaching of this one man. And Christians call him Savior -- the Son of God. Jesus is by any estimation one of the most influential figures in human history. So who is He? We’re here in Mark -- to find out what the Bible says about it.

Mark Explained Part 2 | Sent Out

It’s easy to see a story through our own lens and miss the
bigger picture.
That’s exactly what happened in the days leading up to Jesus’s
death. His followers, his critics, and the crowds all had their own
interpretations of the events unfolding before them—but Jesus
knew something they didn’t.
In Misunderstandings of Easter, a five-day reading plan, we’ll
uncover what they missed and how understanding it can change
the way we see Easter today.

The Misunderstandings of Easter

This devotional considers the cry of the father in Mark 9:24, “I believe; help my unbelief,” as a window into the often-overlooked spiritual struggles of Christian fatherhood. This six-day study will examine how faith can weaken under pressure and how that weakening often surfaces in passivity, carelessness, inconsistency, and a failure to shepherd our sons and daughters with discernment. Its aim is not to condemn struggling fathers, but to call them to honest self-examination, repentance, renewed dependence upon Christ, and more faithful spiritual leadership in the home.

Christian Fatherhood in the Age of Unbelief

In part five of the seven-part devotional journey through the Gospel of Mark, we'll examine Mark 9:30-10:52, continuing our verse-by-verse breakdown of Jesus' life and ministry, as told by John Mark.

The Gospel of Mark (Part Four)

Mark uses the word “immediately” over forty times in his Gospel, emphasizing the intentional nature of Jesus’ ministry. The quick succession of healings and miracles shows that Jesus “came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:44). Through Mark’s Gospel, we are reminded that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes not through selfish ambition, but by being the servant of all.

Christ as Servant: A Study in Mark

The Gospel of Mark (Part Three)

This phase in Jesus’ life is focused on leadership development. As the movement continues to grow, Jesus begins to hand-select from his disciples a few to be servant leaders of the movement. After a full night of prayer, consulting with his Father, Jesus appoints twelve men who will begin their apprenticeship as leaders and will eventually become the leaders of the movement.

The Life of Jesus Pt. 4 – Developing Leaders

This Advent, discover how the divine orchestration of human events and various responses to his coming, exposes the longing of our hearts. From kings and rulers to shepherds and expectant virgins, Jesus’ advent reveals what we treasure. Find him the joy of your heart this Christmas.  


Every Longing Heart

Luke’s detailed investigation of the life of Jesus is good news for those of us who aren’t the best, the brightest, the strongest, or the holiest. His gospel reminds us that Jesus offers joy to the financially poor, the socially marginalized, and the spiritually broken.  Mary from Nazareth, third-shift shepherds, and notorious tax collectors all found hope and salvation in Jesus. By reading Luke’s gospel, we can too.


Unexpected Love: A Study of the Gospel of Luke

BibleProject | Jesus & The Jesus Movement

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.

HEAL - God's Heart for Healing in Luke

Over the centuries, millions have been stirred by Christ’s lessons on the Law of Love, the Golden Rule, forgiving one’s enemies, and bearing good fruit. But are these famous words in Luke 6 really just a collection of inspiring moral teaching? Or do they offer us something even greater? In this 9-day plan, we learn how they can lead to a transformation that can only be accomplished by Jesus Himself.

Transformed: A 9-Day Plan on Jesus’ Sermon on the Plain

Journey #5 | Follow God

Traveling through the Himalayan mountains, David Platt was confronted with staggering physical and spiritual needs unlike any he had ever seen. Leaving, Platt asked fundamental questions about his life and ministry. In the Something Needs to Change Bible study, Platt takes you on a life-altering trek through the gospel of Luke asking: What does it mean to follow Jesus in a world filled with urgent physical and spiritual needs? 

Something Needs to Change by David Platt

The famous story of the prodigal in Luke gives us an outline of the addiction process as well as the principles for the journey back. This story of addiction is timeless and so are the principles for recovery. God’s desire is always for us to leave our addictions to follow Him.

Part 1 follows the first twelve chapters, as Kris Langham guides us through Mary’s story, then Jesus’ compassionate ministry. Watch Jesus love sinners, challenge hypocrites, and teach disciples to pray.




Luke

The parable of the prodigal son reveals far more than the story of a rebellious son returning home. In this 5-day plan, we will discover that there were actually two lost sons: one who sought freedom far from the father, and another who tried to earn his love through performance. In the end, we will see the scandal of grace: a Father who runs toward both with a love that defies all logic.

The Scandal of Grace: The Two Lost Sons

In Luke 15, Jesus tells the story of a shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine sheep to search for the one that is lost. This parable reveals God’s heart for every person—deeply loving, pursuing, and restoring those who feel distant or forgotten. In this seven-day challenge, you will reflect on the truth that you are known, valued, and carried by God. As you journey through this plan, ask Him to shape your heart to reflect His compassion and care to those around you.

The Lost Sheep - 7 Day Challenge

In The Prodigal Son in Luke 15, Jesus tells the story of a father who never gives up on his son. While the son walks away, the father waits with hope, welcomes him with compassion, and restores him with love. This seven-day challenge invites you to reflect on the heart of the Father and how His grace shapes the way we love others. As you journey through this plan, ask God to grow in you a heart that is patient, forgiving, compassionate, and ready to welcome others with His love.

The Prodigal Son - 7 Day Challenge

The Gospel of Luke will not let you forget who is missing from the room. It is the most deliberately composed Gospel, and the most insistent that the good news is for exactly the people who were told it wasn’t. Over seven days, this plan traces what makes Luke distinct: its attention to the excluded, its economic demands, its portrait of a God who runs, its table set for the wrong people, and the Emmaus road where the risen Jesus walks alongside people who have stopped believing — and who recognize him in the breaking of bread.

LUKE EXPLAINED

In Luke 15, Jesus tells the story of a woman who searches carefully for a lost coin until she finds it. This parable reveals God’s heart for those who are lost and His joy when restoration comes. In this seven-day challenge, you will reflect on God’s persistence, compassion, and the value He places on every person. As you journey through this plan, ask God to help you recognise what truly matters and to reflect His heart through love, care, and restoration.

The Lost Coin - 7 Day Challenge

In Luke 10, Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan, a man who chose compassion when others walked by. This parable reveals what it means to love our neighbour through mercy, kindness, and action. In this seven-day challenge, you will reflect on how God calls us to see others, respond with compassion, and share His love in practical ways. As you journey through this plan, ask God to shape your heart to love generously and leave no one behind.

The Good Samaritan - 7 Day Challenge

In Luke 8, Jesus tells the Parable of the Sower, where seeds are scattered across different kinds of soil. While the story speaks about the condition of our hearts, it also reveals the heart of the farmer who sows generously and faithfully. This seven-day challenge invites you to reflect on how God calls us to share His love, truth, and hope with those around us. As you journey through this plan, ask God to help you sow seeds of faith with compassion, courage, and trust in Him for the growth.

The Sower - 7 Day Challenge

Luke’s Gospel is a beautiful and powerful telling of the life of Jesus. Luke focuses on Jesus as the Son of Man, the foretold Messiah who came to “seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). This Gospel shows us the “Upside-Down Kingdom” - that God uses what the world deems foolish and weak to shame the wise and strong.

Christ as Man: A Study in Luke

Easter Matters is a devotion series designed to walk you through Jesus' death and resurrection in the Gospel of Luke.
