MATTHEÜS 10:32-33

When we feel too overwhelmed to work or create, it could be a sign of an underlying fear. These moments are the perfect opportunities to invite God to search our hearts. In this plan, Christian R&B; artist Darla Baltazar shares what was uncovered as she was writing her single, “Search Me,” and explains why letting God examine our hearts is key to walking in freedom.

This reading plan takes you through some of the themes in Season 4, Episode 4 of The Chosen: Calm Before. Reflect, dive into the Bible, and enjoy what Jesus has to say to you.

At the core of it, discipleship is taking care of and tending all the things Jesus commanded us. Yet how can we know what to do if we don't know His words? That is why we're exploring all of Jesus' words across the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each day includes a Bible narration from Ps Mark Varughese of the words of Jesus. NOTE: the translation used in the narration is the New King James Version.

Pastor Eugene Peterson once told his congregation, “The underlying conviction of the work of the pastor is that the words of Jesus are as true now as when first spoken, and that every named life in this congregation is as important as those twelve named disciples.” This brief devotional is drawn from Peterson’s sermons on the four gospels, where we get a glimpse of Jesus’s earthly life and ministry.
