Purpose

We may feel as if our life and persona have been dominated by negatives. We may even believe that any good seed scattered in our lives has been trampled on. But the fact is that in God’s hands these aspects of our lives may be turned to good use. Mel Menzies continues her series on Picked For A Purpose with this 3-day plan called Reasons For Seasons.

Picked For A Purpose Two: Reasons For Seasons

Could you explain concisely why Christians believe in (1) a God, (2) who’s made himself known through history, (3) who has a good plan for us, (4) put into place through Jesus, (5) that’s working to make a difference in our lives? This devotional explores some of the amazing reasons and a fresh look at believing this faith – so we can share it with clarity and hope!

Cornerstone – Reason to Believe (In God, the Bible and All of That)

How can you find everyday joy in your job and vocation? In this five-day plan, learn how you can find worth in your work because of your calling to Christ. Don’t be fooled — you are essential to those around you and God's work in the world!

Essential: Finding Worth in Your Work

Women, and perhaps men, struggle with self-worth. Realize that God's view of you may be very different from what the world says you are.  

For All She's Worth

Americans have always turned to the Bible for wisdom to live together. We argue over how to read and use it, but the Bible has helped shape our values and institutions. On this plan you will read the Bible as a freedom text alongside voices from our past, focused on the value of unity. Discover fresh takes on the Bible and inspiration for facing today’s challenges. 

Discover the Bible and Unity in History

There is a sacred anxiety when believers feel called to minister, especially when distracted by an awareness of their inadequacies. But God is more concerned with the condition of the heart and willingness to respond than a person’s abilities or inabilities.


Resting In His Power

N.T. Wright, the world’s leading New Testament scholar, was recently interviewed on The Call to Mastery podcast with Jordan Raynor. This 4-day plan includes excerpts from that conversation, with Wright explaining what the Bible says about the new heavens and new earth and how our vocations play a part in building God’s Kingdom. Through this plan, you’ll learn that your work in Christ is not wasted—not today, not ever.

The Eternal Significance of Work

Our success with five relationships will be our true measure as men: our fathers, friends, wives, kids, and God.  If we don’t get these right, it doesn’t matter what we do for a living or what we’ve accomplished.  This 5-day devotional is meant to get you thinking about these relationships.  Each devotional includes a brief thought on a specific relationship, along with an excerpt from We Stood Upon Stars: Finding God in Lost Places.  Each daily reading ends with a few questions to get you thinking and some Bible verses to dive deeper into.

We Stood Upon Stars

Ever felt like your work doesn’t matter? Ever felt like your job is less important or eternally significant than the work of a pastor or “full-time missionary”? These feelings are normal in the Church today. But the good news is, they are totally unbiblical. As this four day plan will show, not only does your work matter, but it is one of the primary ways God has called you to glorify Him and love and serve your neighbors.
