This week we’ll look at ways we can follow Jesus’s example and let go of the temptation to be nice.

An increasingly popular claim by skeptics is that Jesus of Nazareth never existed, or, if he did, he was not God. Why should you believe that Jesus is God? No other religion does.

We have three enemies, the world, the flesh, and the deceiver. In the book of Joshua, Jericho represents the world.

How do we overcome the world? This in-depth stand-alone plan is also part 5 of a 10-part series.

Are you feeling purposeless in life? Do you think you were made for more? This Bible plan is meant to connect you to your Maker, the only one who truly knows your purpose.

All of us are born with a problem: we all have sinned, which has separated us from a relationship with God. That’s where Jesus comes in! God gave Jesus as a gift to take away our sins—forever. Everything that was necessary to take away your sins, release you from shame and guilt, and rescue you from death has been accomplished by Jesus on the cross!

We often hear the phrase “born again,” but what does that mean? Does being born again last forever or do we have to be born another time if we fail?

Our self-help, DIY culture naturally loves the idea of improvement, but it’s never-quite-enough. That's because we don’t need a renovation; we need a rebirth—an upending of our lives—and that’s something we can’t do ourselves. If you're tired of going through religious motions in your own power and long to experience the heart and life change Jesus promised, it's time to encounter Jesus. It's time to be reborn.

While we’re called to pray at all times, we especially cry out to God in times of global crises—such as poverty, violence, disease. Yet how do we pray globally? How can we pray for everyone, everywhere?

If you described life in just six words, which would you choose? Accomplishments? Happiness? Struggles? When you boil it down, what’s this journey of life really about? It’s certainly unique for each individual, but are there some larger truths that can help us make sense of this path we’re on? Through this 7-day plan, we’ll describe the most important aspects of life and give you a tool to share them.

Being generous is not always about money. Also, just because you are a giver does not mean you have a generous spirit, it’s about the heart and it’s about following God’s example.

We’ll discuss your gifts, time, talents, forgiveness and you will learn the benefits of having a generous spirit.
