New Testament Books

Perhaps the concept of “conversion” (or “repentance”) evokes resistance in you. It may sound old-fashioned or like an ideal that is impossible to attain. Perhaps you know it is important, but you keep putting it off. That is precisely why Matthew’s story is so instructive. He shows what it truly means to repent, turn to God and follow Jesus.

From Tax Collector to Disciple. How Matthew’s Life Changed When He Answered Jesus’ Call

The people kept asking Jesus for a sign, even after seeing Him heal, deliver, raise the dead, and forgive sins. Still, they wanted more. Jesus refused to perform on demand. Instead, He pointed to the sign that would matter most: Jonah. Three days. A tomb. An empty grave. This study walks through Matthew 12:38–45 and asks a hard question: have we been chasing experiences when God has already given us the resurrection? Three days. One Christ. The only sign we will ever need.

Be challenged. Be stirred. Be mature. Be inspired.

Wisdom & Wonder: A 3-Day Devotional With Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell

This family devotional is designed to be used by parents with children from ages two to twelve.

The Mission | Midyear Prayer and Fasting Family Devotional 2026

Jesus was intentional with his parables; the synoptic gospels, which give us an overview, present the parable of the sower, the wheat and the weeds, the mustard seed, and the yeast as a whole invitation to grow toward a full life that is given to others.

The Soil, the Seed, the Tree, and the Yeast

The Beatitudes are not merely inspiring words, but the inner path that Jesus outlines for living according to the Kingdom of God. They aim first and foremost at transforming the heart before any visible action. Jesus reveals the character and attitudes that He forms: humility, repentance, gentleness, justice, mercy, purity, peace, and faithfulness. This path requires truth, dependence on God, and renunciation of pride. True blessing comes from a heart aligned with God. This reading plan invites us to a gradual inner transformation by the Holy Spirit. 

The Beatitudes: The Path of the Heart According to Jesus - Jean-Luc Trachsel

Over the next 7 days, explore The Lord's Prayer. The disciples saw Jesus' prayer life alive, vital and centred on the Father. They asked Him to teach them how to pray. As followers of Jesus in the 21st century, we can ask the same: 
Jesus, teach us to pray. 

Teach Us to Pray

Many Christians trade their good portion in Christ for their good performance. They serve God while struggling to enjoy God. In Luke 10:38-42, Jesus steps into the tension between submission and service. This seven-day devotional challenges how we think about discipleship, worship, and ministry, and calls us into joyful surrender.

The Good Portion

If walls could talk or cities had voices, what would the Bible’s ancient sites say about Jesus and your life following Him? Come along on a creative journey through the perspectives of various Bible sites, as “they” describe their encounters with the God of Israel and His Messiah. Can you guess each site before the reveal at the end of these devotions?

If Walls Could Talk

This is a seven-day video series which goes verse-by-verse through The Lord’s Prayer. Watch a short, meditative teaching, then engage with reflection questions and prayer prompts throughout the day. It is designed to deepen your understanding of this beautiful passage of scripture and enrich your daily prayer life. 

Our Father in Heaven - a Week in the Lord's Prayer

This 3-day devotional explores the Beatitudes as an invitation into God’s upside-down kingdom, where blessing flows through humility, surrender, righteousness, mercy, and purity. It emphasizes that God’s commands are purposeful and transformative, not arbitrary. Followers of Jesus are called to pursue reconciliation, endure opposition with faithfulness, and find identity in Christ even amid suffering. Ultimately, the Beatitudes reframe hardship by pointing believers toward eternal reward and deeper communion with God.

The Beatitudes

Behold the wonder of the Word, with Revive Our Hearts! The four gospels, along with the book of Acts, introduce us to the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.

Volume 5 of our WOW series, The Gospel, reveals the wonder of God's love.


Wonder of the Word: The Gospel & the Wonder of God's Love (Vol.5 - Matthew - Acts) 

This simple plan will lead you through the Gospel According to Matthew from beginning to end.

Matthew

At the start and middle of every year, we come together as a church to pray and fast to know God more. We believe that God’s heart has always been to reconcile the world to Himself, and He is calling us to actively participate in this mission. As His people set apart for His purpose, let’s discover what God is doing in the world and continue to seek Him and ask Him to grow our passion for missions to reach every nation and campus for His glory.

The Mission | Midyear Prayer and Fasting Devotional 2026

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

Jesus was different from everyone else because He belonged to a Kingdom that is not of this world. When we choose to follow Him, we become citizens of that same heavenly Kingdom, called to reach the world while we still live in it. In the “Out Of This World” Bible Study, we’re going to walk through Matthew 5:1–16 and discover three things God wants to shift our perspective on. Prayerfully, as we study the words of the One who entered this world to save humanity, we will discover meaning and fulfillment beyond anything this world has to offer!

Out of This World

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 part two of our journey through the Gospel of Matthew to continue to discover the answer to this ultimate question.

Who Is Jesus? Part 2

God’s Surprising Word: Rejoicing in Hope

The Death and Resurrection of the King

Read through the New Testament this fall!

New Testament Read-Through (Matthew)

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

If we want an effective prayer life, we must pray like Jesus. The disciples asked Jesus how to pray because His prayers differed from anything else they had seen. By looking at the sermon on the mount, we can learn how to bolster our prayer life and develop a deeper intimacy with God.

Praying Like Jesus

Unlock the power of prayer through Jesus' timeless teaching. This 7-day plan explores the Lord's Prayer, guiding you to a deeper, more meaningful connection with God. Discover how to pray with purpose, following the model that Jesus gave us.  This plan will equip you with practical insights to transform your conversations with God. Start today and experience the life-changing impact of praying as Jesus taught.

The Lord’s Prayer- Jesus’ Example for Us

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

Meet Jesus in the Gospel of Mark! This children’s reading plan takes you on an adventure through the Gospel of Mark where you will learn who Jesus is, what He did, and how much He loves people. Each day we discover more about Jesus.

Meeting Jesus in the Book of Mark

In a world that celebrates status, recognition and influence, Jesus offers a radically different definition of greatness. When his disciples argued about who was the greatest, Jesus taught them that true greatness is found not in position or power, but in humble service. Over three days, we will explore greatness desired, greatness defined, and greatness demonstrated.


True Greatness

The Gospel of Jesus Christ has shaped Western civilisation and impacted every culture in the world for good. It countered the classical world's tolerance of misogyny, infanticide, and slavery. The Gospel spread the Christian values of equality, dignity, and individual rights. The freedom we deem normative today is the fruit of generations of Christian mission, education, and activism.
Mark shows Jesus as the one who redeemed the world from sin and Satan. He rules over death and disease, nature and nations, culture and customs. His mission is urgent, and his power unchallenged. Christ is the Victorious Son of God.



The Gospel of Mark - Victorious in Jesus

Christians around the world celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on Easter. Join Shawn Craig (of Phillips Craig and Dean) and Josiah Serra as we prepare for Resurrection Sunday by reading Mark's gospel. Whether you are new to faith or a long-term Christian, we need good news! 

40 DAYS in the GOSPEL 

Jesus begins his earthly ministry when he is about thirty years old (Luke 3:23). We call this phase “Ministry Foundations.” It lasts about a year and a half. During this time, Jesus will issue two calls. To unbelievers, he says, “Come and see.” To believers, he says, “Follow me” (John 1:39-40).

The Life of Jesus Pt. 2 – Ministry Foundations

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible. It provides a chronological reading program that endeavors to place all biblical passages in their date order. Part Ten of this twelve-part one-year reading plan is titled ‘The Messiah Comes, Few Believe Him: 5 BC–AD 33’.

Reading the Bible in Historical Sequence Part 10

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.

A 7-day journey anchored in Mark 4:35–41 that helps you trust Jesus in the storm, practice faith under pressure, and take obedient steps even before the storm ends.


COURAGE in the Storm

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 Miracles of Jesus devotional series invites us to encounter the living Christ through His powerful works and personal compassion. From the empty tomb to storms on the sea and the feeding of the multitudes, we see that Jesus meets us in doubt, need, and uncertainty.

Miracles flow not from striving, but from relationship, trust, and a heart aligned with God’s purposes.

Wholehearted Love: Loving God With Every Part of You

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.

This parable reveals what it means to love our neighbour through mercy, kindness, and action. In this seven-day challenge, you will reflect on how God calls us to see others, respond with compassion, and share His love in practical ways.

The Good Samaritan - 7 Day Challenge

The parable of the prodigal son reveals far more than the story of a rebellious son returning home. In this 5-day plan, we will discover that there were actually two lost sons: one who sought freedom far from the father, and another who tried to earn his love through performance.

The Scandal of Grace: The Two Lost Sons

In The Prodigal Son in Luke 15, Jesus tells the story of a father who never gives up on his son.

Will your RSVP be yes today?

Jesus Christ Needs Your RSVP

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). This Gospel shows us the “Upside-Down Kingdom” - that God uses what the world deems foolish and weak to shame the wise and strong.

Christ as Man: A Study in Luke

There are moments when everything feels blocked. A situation doesn’t change, a door remains closed, and hope starts to fade.

If you are facing a dead end today, these few days can renew your faith and help you believe that God is still at work.

The Stone Has Already Been Moved

The Good News of Jesus is not supposed to be respectable! It’s a radical call to live a humble and sacrificial life. As Christians, we believe the four Gospels are not just historical books but words inspired by God to teach and transform us to become more like Jesus. As you read through Luke, one chapter a day, we hope this journey will challenge you to live out the radical message of Jesus. Get ready for the Gospel of Luke!
