Join us for a transformative five-day devotional journey, filmed at the historic Garden Tomb in Israel. Two thousand years ago, a man named Jesus made a claim no one else has ever dared to make: He would die and rise again. He did exactly that. But what does that mean for you? This isn’t just a religious story; it’s the most important question you will ever wrestle with. If Jesus truly rose from the dead, it changes everything about who you are, the hope you have, and what happens after you die.

Do not be discouraged! God has a secret plan. And you won’t pick it up from the Old Testament alone without knowing Jesus and knowing what to look for. Many of the Jews in Jesus’s day sure didn’t.

When we first met Peter in the Gospels, he was a brand-new Christ-follower. Now, years later, his life has been changed by grace.

These six lessons through 1 Peter are part of THRU the BIBLE’s trusted study through the whole Word of God.

Setting priorities is an essential step for becoming a fully devoted follower of Christ. Oswald Chambers, a famous theologian, once said "The busyness of things obscures our concentration on God ...

2 Timothy 1:7 tells us that “God has not given us a spirit of fear.” A powerful truth, but not one that is easy to walk in.

This week-long devotional from Seacoast Church will encourage you to stand firm in the face of fear. Through God’s power and his promises to us, we can learn what it means to be Fearless.
