ዛካራሳ ቲንቢቴ 14:9

Are there future promises for which you still hope or dread? The theme for these guided biblical meditations is how your future hopes are already present in Christ. I pray you will find a safe refuge trusting the unknown future, to a God who does know now. There are future blessings already hidden in every moment of your present life, so open your heart to see them.

You can tell others about your love for God, go to church, read Christian books and pray fervently—but none of these things will have much meaning if you don’t actually make God the priority in your life. Only as we seek first His kingdom will we discover the joy of living as a kingdom-focused believer. Let best-selling author Tony Evans show you the key to a life of blessing.

In this refreshingly honest look at God’s calling to men of all interests and backgrounds, Brant Hansen explains what Biblical manhood looks like—and why becoming a real man matters so much.

If we are honest, we admit that the Bible can be confusing, even the New Testament. But to truly understand and apply the Bible well, we need to understand the cultural background of the passages we are reading. This 10-day plan is based on Craig Keener's New Testament Background course on Seminary Now.
