Going against the flow is uncomfortable. If given the choice, most of us prefer to go with the flow and to conform. However, Christianity calls us to resist the pull of the world and live out our faith unapologetically. How can we do so? Journey with us in this twelve-day devotional from Daniel 1 to 6 and learn how we can live a holy life in a hostile world.

The book of Daniel chronicles the stories and visions of the exiled prophet during his life in Babylon. Although faced with devastating exile, the characters of Daniel choose to be faithful to God no matter the cost. Daniel’s life and visions remind us that God Himself orders peoples, nations, and history, orchestrating His people’s redemption and His imminent return.

What Is Worship? Worship Redefined by the Word. This 12-week devotional plan helps you relearn worship—not as an action, but as a direction. We often reduce worship to songs, emotions, atmosphere, or an hour on Sunday, but biblical worship is far deeper and wider. Worship begins with knowing who God is and shapes how we live before Him. Through balanced readings in the Old Testament, New Testament, and Psalms, this plan leads you step by step: the essence of worship → the posture of a worshiper → the life of a worshiping leader.

Study the book of Daniel with theStory. There is nothing quite like the book of Daniel anywhere else in the Bible. Half of it is taken up with stories about Jews in Babylonian and Persian courts, the other half with dreams and visions.

God wants you to be healthy! In this series of messages, Pastor Rick shares how to change your life — your health, the way you think, the goals you set, and the way you treat others — so that you can accomplish God’s purpose for you and bring glory to him.

The book of Daniel tells us about four young Jewish men who were taken captive by the Babylonian king to serve him. In their new and hostile environment, these youths remained faithful to their God and bore a powerful witness to people around them. Their stories contain valuable lessons for us, since we too are living in a world that is often antagonistic towards God.

How foggy the path ahead must have seemed for Daniel as he and his friends were captive. Marched to a foreign land, given foreign names, told to eat foreign food, and to worship foreign gods. Let's travel with the young Daniel as he negotiates following the One True God in this foreign place. We will see ourselves through his challenges and learn how we too can follow this One True God in our own foreign context.

In this Part 2 of Daniel, we continue to see him live following the One True God as an alien and foreigner in Babylon. As we read his story, we can learn how we too can follow well in our own context. Let's be challenged together by this Godly man.

I don't like fasting! Let's be honest; there's nothing fun about denying yourself the foods you love and the comfortable lifestyle you enjoy. I may not like fasting, but I love the results.

Nowadays, you don't have to be a believer to fast. There are therapeutic fasts, intermittent fasts, sweet fasts... The list could go on and on. This reading plan deals with fasting as a gift from God for us. Because through renunciation we can gain a new perspective on our lives and get to know God in a completely new way.

The 21-Day Fast Devotional guides you through your 21-Day Fast and helps you respond to God’s call to consecration.

Pray about what God is calling you to fast, and use this devotional to see consecration in the lives of Daniel, Esther, and Mary.

What does it mean to be truly human? In a world obsessed with success, appearance and achievement, it’s easy to forget that our worth is not measured by what we do, own or accomplish. Journeying through Genesis, Psalms, the gospels and Daniel, this 21 day devotional series will bring you back to a simple truth: we are made in God’s image, deeply loved, and created with purpose.

Why do we struggle to embrace a Kingdom lifestyle? Often, it is because we are shaped more by the world than by God’s Kingdom. Culture, false identities, distractions, and misplaced priorities pull us away from His design. Kingdom living is not occasional spirituality, but daily alignment with God’s ways. Through His presence, His Word, prayer, discipline, and surrender, we are transformed. As we grow in our identity and purpose, our lives begin to reflect His nature, reveal His glory, and become instruments through which He strengthens others and establishes Kingdom culture.

Our earthly lives are a journey, and God’s guidance system enables us to avoid many detours along the way. We remain on the best road home when we allow God’s word to be our guidance system through the Holy Spirit.

This plan will lead you through the journey of Joseph as well as the life of other dreamers who saw God’s plan in everything. Join us as we read their stories throughout the Bible.
