New Testament Books

Written by five different OM writers, these devotions follow the theme of being a servant - based on Matthew 20:28 “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Each devotional is written from the unique perspective of the writer and their experience.

The Servant King

Jesus calls us to make disciples, yet starting spiritual conversations can feel intimidating. This devotional explores how prayer becomes the foundation for sharing our faith with confidence and compassion. By beginning with prayer, we learn to meet people where they are and trust God to work in their hearts. Prayer helps others feel seen, heard, and loved, releases burdens we cannot carry alone, and aligns our hearts with God’s will. Discover how prayer can open doors, strengthen obedience, and draw others closer to Jesus.

Power of Disciple Making Through Prayer

Have you ever experienced the death of a dream or the loss of something you love? When Mary Magdalene and the other Mary embarked on their journey to the tomb in Matthew 28, they had barely a weekend to process an unimaginable loss. In the “At The Tomb” Bible study, we’re going to take a closer look at the angel's words in Matthew 28:1–10 and discover three obstacles that Jesus’ death overcame for both women, as well as for everyone who places their faith in Him!

At the Tomb

Eight Days That Changed the World invites you into the story at the center of history. From the dusty road of Palm Sunday to the dawn light of Resurrection morning, this eight-day Holy Week devotional helps you slow down and step into the final days of Jesus’ life. Written by Darrell Johnson in partnership with CREATR.

Eight Days That Changed the World

When Jesus stepped onto the stage of history, He didn’t set out with the goal of simply starting a new religion. He came to introduce a whole new way of life defined by loving God with all we are and loving others as He has loved us. In this Plan, we will journey through Matthew’s Gospel with the purpose of making Jesus’ way of life, our way of life.

Learning the Jesus Way of Life

Jesus emphasized the importance of the faith of people in enabling God to work in great power. But what does faith-filled prayer that moves mountains look like? There are many misconceptions around the place. This plan takes you through seven of Jesus' statements on faith in the Gospel of Matthew and draws out a clear picture of mountain-moving faith that will both encourage and challenge you. 

Mountain Moving Faith and Prayer

This phase in Jesus’ life is focused on leadership development. As the movement continues to grow, Jesus begins to hand-select from his disciples a few to be servant leaders of the movement. After a full night of prayer, consulting with his Father, Jesus appoints twelve men who will begin their apprenticeship as leaders and will eventually become the leaders of the movement.

The Life of Jesus Pt. 4 – Developing Leaders

The Beatitudes are more than beautiful sayings—they are profound truths that reveal the heart of God's kingdom. Each blessing offers a glimpse into Christ's vision for His followers, but their full significance lies beneath the surface. This eight-day devotional explores the deep theological roots of the Beatitudes, uncovering how they connect to God's nature, our redemption, and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit.

The Beatitudes Revisited

Join us as we start the year reading through the Gospels together! This 21-day devotional, written by the pastors and staff of Oasis LA, invites you to draw closer to Jesus through the reflection of His life, ministry and teachings. Each day includes a Scripture reading, a short interpretation from one of our leaders, and a practical step to live out Jesus’ way in daily life. Our prayer is that these three weeks renew your focus and inspire your faith in a fresh and personal way.

21 Days in the Gospels

Words are powerful. With them, we can build up or tear down, bless or curse, heal or wound. The Bible is clear about the weight our words carry they reflect the state of our hearts and have the power to shape the atmosphere around us. In this five-day devotional, we'll explore the profound influence of our speech on our relationships, our faith, and even our destiny.

The Power of Words

Over the next 21 days, we’re going on a journey through the words Jesus taught us to pray in Matthew 6. The Lord’s Prayer is an invitation to be changed from the inside out. As we fast and pray together, each daily devotional will help us draw closer to God, grow in identity, realign with his kingdom, trust him for provision, and walk in wholeness.

Our Father...

Jesus ended the Sermon on the Mount with a stark choice: build your life on the rock or on the sand. The difference isn't what you know but what you do with what you know. Over five days, discover how the application of God's Word brings power, authority, and stability when life's storms come. This plan focuses on progress and obedience, not perfection.

Foundations - Building on the Rock

When anxiety attacks, what should be our response? As we continue our trek through the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us the answer in the conclusion of chapter 6: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33 ESV). In “Seek First”, we’re going to walk through Matthew 6:25–7:11 and take a closer look at four things we’re often tempted to pursue before Jesus. Prayerfully, as we study God’s Word together, our worry will be replaced with a desire to seek Him first!

Seek First

Who is Jesus? This is the ultimate question. Because if Jesus really is who He said He is, it changes everything. But if Jesus is not who He said He is, it also changes everything. Join us in the final part of our journey through the Gospel of Matthew as we discover the answer to this ultimate question.


Who Is Jesus? Part 4

In Matthew 26-28, we read in detail about Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection. This reading plan will help you go step by step through this impressive story and discover how these events have great meaning for you as well.

The Death and Resurrection of the King

It’s hard to describe what the kingdom of God is like, so Jesus makes comparisons to things we know, and contrasts his kingdom with the religious establishment. In our hearts we know what God is really like, but Jesus shows us with his life, and finally his death. But that’s not the end of the story…

Matthew Explained Part 2 | Kingdom of God

Who is Jesus? This is the ultimate question. Because if Jesus really is who He said He is, it changes everything. But if Jesus is not who He said He is, it also changes everything.

Are you ready to deepen your prayer life, but not sure how to start? Let’s take a closer look at the instructions Jesus gives us on how to pray in Matthew 6. Learn how to pray like Jesus in this 7-day Bible Plan from Pastor Amy Groeschel.

Praying Like Jesus

Matthew

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.

The Gospel of Mark

For nearly 2,000 years, Christians around the world have set aside the week before Easter to follow our Lord Jesus Christ on his journey to the cross. We call this “Holy Week.” Beginning on Palm Sunday and ending on Easter Sunday, these eight days afford the Church a unique opportunity to reflect on our lives, repent of our sins, and redirect our gaze to Jesus. We’ve put together a reading plan for the events of Holy Week as told in Mark’s gospel.

Holy Week: A Guide to Preparation, Prayer & Fasting

It’s easy to see a story through our own lens and miss the
bigger picture.
That’s exactly what happened in the days leading up to Jesus’s
death. His followers, his critics, and the crowds all had their own
interpretations of the events unfolding before them—but Jesus
knew something they didn’t.
In Misunderstandings of Easter, a five-day reading plan, we’ll
uncover what they missed and how understanding it can change
the way we see Easter today.

The Misunderstandings of Easter

Who is Jesus? It’s a question people have been wrestling with for 2,000 years with an answer that has the power to change your life forever. In part two of a seven-part devotional journey through the Gospel of Mark, we’ll examine Mark 2:18–5:20. 

The Gospel of Mark (Part Two)

Mark uses the word “immediately” over forty times in his Gospel, emphasizing the intentional nature of Jesus’ ministry. The quick succession of healings and miracles shows that Jesus “came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:44). Through Mark’s Gospel, we are reminded that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes not through selfish ambition, but by being the servant of all.

Luke’s detailed investigation of the life of Jesus is good news for those of us who aren’t the best, the brightest, the strongest, or the holiest. His gospel reminds us that Jesus offers joy to the financially poor, the socially marginalized, and the spiritually broken.

Jesus read Isaiah 61 and announced the year of the Lord's favour. In Israel, that idea pointed to the Year of Jubilee, a time of freedom, restored land, and rest. Then Jesus said, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing" (Luke 4:21). This 5-day plan explores that moment and what it means now: freedom from sin, restored identity, real rest, and a new beginning in Jesus.

Luke’s Gospel is a beautiful and powerful telling of the life of Jesus. Luke focuses on Jesus as the Son of Man, the foretold Messiah who came to “seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10).

Our grand journey following Christ continues as the second half of Luke’s gospel brings us some of the most beloved stories and teaching from Jesus’ life.
