The Kingdom of God is free but there is also a cost to be paid.

The Lent Project is an initiative of Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture and the Arts. Each daily devotion includes a portion of Scripture, a devotional, a prayer, a work of visual art or a video, a piece of music, and a poem plus brief commentaries on the artworks and artists. The Seven Last Words of Christ refers to the seven short phrases uttered by Jesus on the cross, as gathered from the four Christian gospels. This devotional project connects word, image, voice and song into daily meditations on these words.

Whether you’re at work or at home, spending time with your loved ones, or visiting a bereaved friend, God is ever present. This week, we’ll discuss how, as sons of God, we can learn to live with that growing understanding, as well as seek out the places where we can expect to encounter God’s presence. Written by Tim Pippus.

As followers of Jesus we believe that God is love, but oftentimes our ability to love others is an extreme challenge. Maybe that’s because love isn’t just a feeling or a strong emotion. Love is a Person. Take a journey through 1 Corinthians 13 and discover the Person of love and how, through Him, we can better love others.

Jesus “took the bread, blessed it, broke it, gave it to his disciples, and said, ‘This is my body given for you, do this in remembrance of me.’” In the same way, we too are taken, blessed, broken, given, and spoken in God’s love—that we might remember the body of Christ for a hurting world and become instruments of peace. Welcome to the Jesus Meal.

Our identity is defined by personal attributes such as character, gender and colour of skin, but also by the groups that we belong to. You may ask yourself: how do I view myself? How do others see me? The most important question however is: How does God see me? Who am I in Christ?

Aren't there times as a mom that you just want to hide...like in the pantry with a chocolate bar?  Hidden from the storms of life and the weight of responsibilities. Hidden from the noise. Hidden from the routine. Hidden from our to-do lists. Just hidden and alone with Christ where we can hear Him call us by name and let His songs of victory fill our ears.

We are in an unseen battle – a fight not won with fists, but won with truth and love. It is a spiritual fight, one we are all engaged in. It is a fight that will change everything. This 10-day devotional will equip you for this Good Fight.

Sports officials are charged with enforcing the rules as written. We may not like all the rules but our job is to enforce every rule. Jesus says in John 14:15 - “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” We don’t get to pick & choose what to follow. Let’s look at some verses that help us to stay on the path of “keeping the rule book of life.”

What is a disciple? What is the point of discipleship? Is it just a programme to follow, or is it something more, something deeper that we continually walk in alongside Jesus, letting him shape and lead us? Come and explore discipleship with us in this plan.

Mark is all about Jesus! This 13-day plan will walk you through the book of Mark by reading only 1-2 chapters a day. Each day is accompanied by a short devotional and video that explains what’s happening and shows you how each part of the story points to Jesus and his Gospel.

Let's dive in!

The Gospel of Mark presents Jesus as the Son of God and the perfect servant of God. This 14-day reading plan invites readers specifically into the teachings of Jesus as chronicled by Mark, a close disciple of the Apostle Peter. Starting with the baptism of Jesus and carrying the reader through to the importance and symbolism of Christ’s last meal, the reader will be visually transported into these important moments in Jesus’ history. Experience these teachings come-to-life in this video-based, 14-day reading plan and allow it to revolutionize the way you engage with God’s Word.

This reading plan explores the second Gospel. The persecution of Christians was on Mark's mind as he wrote this Gospel. Mark told the story of Jesus' life in ways that strengthened the faith of early Christians and encouraged them to persevere through suffering.

Each day of this very personal Bible plan brings you once again to the altar in your soul—just you and Jesus. Over the course of fourteen days you will have God-opportunities to redirect your life, cast your burdens on the One who cares for you, and be filled anew—a different experience each day. Come be gloriously changed, receive peace, and walk free!

Lent is a season of emptying, giving up, cleaning out, and even dying. It's a season where we express sorrow over our sins and gratitude that Jesus was willing to die so we can be forgiven. Over the next 14 days, we will explore the season of Lent as we draw closer to God.

Here are 16 biblical “power principles” to help you break free from the prisons of sin, guilt, failure, the past, self-abasement, perfectionism, fear, needing approval, obligation, rules, and religion. These principles can make a difference in your life. They are some of the foundational building blocks we can use to tear down our prisons and build up a house of joy and freedom.

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.

Ruth must surely be one of the loveliest stories ever written, telling an unforgettable tale of purity, faithfulness, innocence, loyalty, duty, and love. We read of ordinary people in Bethlehem facing everyday events, from loss and dislocation to marriage and family life. In all of this, however, Alistair Begg reminds us that no matter how dark our days may seem, God still protects His people and accomplishes His purposes.
