Purpose

Are you serving others as Christ intended that you should do? Every Christian is called on to serve.  We can do that by helping people who are going through crisis. We don’t have to look far to find people in distress. These devotions offer encouragement, support and practical pointers for showing mercy to the hurting.

Study the book of Daniel with theStory. There is nothing quite like the book of Daniel anywhere else in the Bible. Half of it is taken up with stories about Jews in Babylonian and Persian courts, the other half with dreams and visions. This 2 week Book Study of Daniel covers chapters 1-9 (the last 3 chapters are really hard for devotional reflection - but you’ll see on day 14 we give suggestions for further study).

Each of you woke this morning in your version of home: a 2-story beach-side condominium, a 1-level ranch on acreage, a fixer upper, an urban high rise, a studio apartment.

Truth for Youth

Like Abraham, Sarah and Hagar, we are called by name and invited into a relationship with God that reshapes our identity. As we take steps to deepen our connection with God, we discover that we are no longer defined by our roles or circumstances, but as heirs to God's promise. Explore how your identity can be transformed by God's love and discover the joy of being known by Him.

it’s Monday morning and you’re back in the same old school. Now what? Let's dive into the word and look at the lives of people who yes to God and no to the world.

YEAH NAH: Saying Yes to God & No to the World

We are called to live a life that reflects Jesus and affects those around us. Our prayers, the way we look after other people and how we respond in tough times have the power to create waves in the world around us. In this devotional, for kids aged 4-11 years, we will be looking at Wavemakers in the Bible and how we too can create waves!
