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. What makes Christians right and everyone else wrong? If we're wrong about Jesus, we're wrong about the belief that is most central to our faith. So, how can we defend the existence and deity of Jesus today?

His hand brings healing to many. He touches the untouchable. His voice calms the seas and speaks power. He breathes new life into lives shattered and wasted by demonic influences. He even stops a pandemic. So simple, yet so powerful. So gentle yet so full of authority. So loving, yet tough on the hard-hearted! This is King Jesus, who walked among us and lives within us even today.

The Greek word “splagchnizomai” describes what we feel when we are faced with pain and suffering of others.

Jesus didn’t just talk about His mission—He revealed it through His actions. This 7-day plan invites you to explore the stories of Jesus—not just what He said, but what He did. You’ll see Him heal the sick, restore outcasts, and bring hope to those on the margins. Through His actions, He showed a different kind of Kingdom—one where the broken are embraced, the overlooked seen, and true blessing comes from trusting God. Each day, you’ll uncover how Jesus lived His mission, the radical love He demonstrated, and why His words and actions matter today.

At Christian Vision for Men (CVM), we’ve pulled together some thoughts on how this stuff works—prayer, the Bible, and the church. If you’ve never really been to church (apart from the occasional wedding or funeral), never properly opened a Bible, and haven’t done much praying, then this might be just what you need. Here at CVM we work hard at communicating who Jesus Christ is, the truth, without any gloss or confusing ‘Christian’ language, just simple stuff, honest answers about how this stuff works.

Despite our faith, trying times come. Our faith doesn't make us exempt from painful life experiences; it sustains us in the midst of them. Our faith assures us that we can trust God, even as we hurt.

We discuss seven powerful healing practices that cultivate resilience and growth through our pain.

Rediscover the revolutionary truth of God’s gracious acceptance of you in Christ. Are you trying to be more patient? More generous? More … religious? It’s time to learn to simply abide in Jesus.

The gospel is the power of God and the only true source of joy, freedom, and audacious faith. 

In a world where we hear much about what others think Jesus said or taught, it’s important to know for yourself what Jesus actually said.

There was nothing quite like Mark's Gospel before he wrote it. It was a new form of writing he invented for the sake of his message he describes as 'good news'. Mark thinks it's good news. Read his account and decide for yourself.

If you are like most parents, finding the time to read the Bible for yourself—let alone guide your children—can be difficult.

Be encouraged and refreshed in your walk with the Lord as you prepare to lead your family in study and prayer.

Missional living is born in the heart of the Father, centered in the person of Jesus, and fueled by the power of the Holy Spirit. A central characteristic of Jesus’ missional engagement with human beings during his earthly ministry was COMPASSION.

As the ministry grows, Jesus issues his next call: “‘Come, follow me’ Jesus said, ‘and I will make you fishers of men.’” (Mark 1:17) It is the third call. It is made to those he has already called: “Come and see” and “Follow Me.” This third call is to come closer to Jesus, to draw near enough so he can now teach you how you can be a part of the process of making disciples.

If Romans 1–11 is Paul’s masterpiece of Gospel exposition, then Romans 12 is a masterpiece of Gospel application. God, in His mercy, has invited us to offer our whole selves to Him. He transforms us by renewing our minds, and He teaches us to walk in humility and love—even toward our enemies.

This plan explores the stories of those who encountered the healing touch of Jesus. His touch was powerful, filled with grace, driven by compassion, and overflowing with love and hope. Whether great or small, rich or poor, young or old, sinner or saint—Jesus showed no partiality. His touch of grace extends to all, transforming lives without exception. No one is beyond the loving and healing embrace of Jesus.
