God has a plan and a purpose for every man. Yet, as spiritual men in a secular world, our course is not smooth sailing, but an obstacle course!

Each day’s reading includes a brief Scripture passage and relevant devotional.

Do you just need a really good rest? When it comes to the subject of rest , it seems that we may have been missing the point. Life is frantic, but it’s not God who is encouraging us to get busy. His desire is to lead us into a life that is productive, fruitful restful. Yet, so often we fight against Him. This devotional plan teaches that rest is ESSENTIAL to your success in life, and that learning to rest can protect, maintain and lengthen whatever God has called you to do!

Sometimes as much as we long for community, we retreat from our neighbours and miss out on the fullness of life that God intends for us. This plan reminds us of how God wants us to love our neighbours so we can all experience the fullness of life He intends for us.

In this inspiring 14-day plan, Denise Renner will help you push past the obstacles that are holding you back from being unstoppable for the Kingdom of God.

The Bible tells us that we receive gifts on the day of our spiritual birth to be used to build up the body of Christ. If we do not use these gifts for the common good of the church, everyone suffers. In Who Me, Gifted?, Michael Youssef unpacks the gifts of the Holy Spirit one by one so that believers everywhere will experience fulfillment, spiritual maturity, and unexpected blessings through these gifts bringing ultimate glory to God.

Who am I? Why am I here? Where do I belong? What’s my purpose? If you’ve ever pondered big questions like these, you’re not alone. Deep down we all feel as though there is more to life, that we were made for more. In this 15-day study, we’ll discover who we were made to be, where true belonging and acceptance is found, and the purpose for which God created us!

We all want to belong, be accepted and know that we are loved. When we place our trust in the Lord and accept Jesus as our Savior, we are adopted into God’s forever family and are called his beloved children.

Our view of blessed is often tethered to a continually changing spectrum—our circumstances. If life is good, in our view, we’re blessed. If life isn’t going well, in our view, we’re not blessed. But is our definition of blessed the same as God’s? We’ll look at how God defines “blessed.” It turns out, we’re very likely missing how “blessed” we all are—regardless of what’s going on around us.

Your life is shaped by many things - your values, relationships, and the circumstances of your life. But what about God's grace? In the book of Romans, Paul offers advice and encouragement about that grace and how it should shape our lives. In this 16 day series, Jon Opgenorth will take you through Romans 9-16 and think about what a grace-shaped life looks like.

Considered one of the most theologically rich books of the New Testament, Romans is a treatise on the theology of salvation. Beginning with the hopelessness of our sin-filled state, Paul shows how God provides righteousness to His people through Jesus Christ. In Romans, we are reminded that justification does not come from status or moral achievement but from belief in the substitutionary death and glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ.

This plan offers a 16-day journey through the book of Romans, making it ideal for individual and group study.
