Welcome to Preparing for Outpouring – A 10-Day Journey Toward Pentecost. No matter where you are in your faith—seasoned believer or just beginning to explore—this journey is for you. Each day offers space to slow down, reflect, and make room for the Holy Spirit. Scripture says Jesus gives “the Spirit without limit” (John 3:34), and He’s still pouring out His presence on all who are willing to receive.

In the ten days between Christ’s ascension and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the disciples gathered in one accord, devoting themselves to prayer. They didn’t know exactly what was coming, but they knew they needed heaven’s help. This 10-day devotional invites you to follow in their footsteps: to wait, to pray, and to prepare your heart for a fresh move of the Holy Spirit. Whether you're approaching Pentecost or simply seeking renewal, this journey of intentional, Spirit-led prayer is valuable in every season. Come hungry. Come expectant. Come, Holy Spirit.

The Bible has more than a thousand names or metaphors for God. Why does He have so many names? Each name describes a different function or characteristic of His being. Through this devotional, you will learn more about Father God and His relationship to you, through His names, and so learn more about yourself. Be prepared to live closer to Him than ever before.

Learn the way the Holy Spirit operates in the lives of believers through spiritual gifts. Then, explore the nine gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12, with biblical examples and contemporary applications. These are not the only gifts God gives His people.

An exciting look at the birth of the early church, through the eyes of Luke, the author of the gospel of Luke. This series combines video clips from the movie, The Book of Acts, with thought-provoking questions for reflection, discussion and practical life application

Hello and Welcome to a series of reflections called “Doing Theology from below.” These reflections are designed for those who want to explore a way of reading Scripture that is liberating, especially in vulnerable urban communities. Doing Theology from Below is learning how to read the text not “to” not “for” but “with” those we are called to love and serve and to do so with Jesus as our rabbi.

In Revelation, we see Jesus as the “Lion of the tribe of Judah” and the “Lamb who was slain.” So much of God’s kingdom embodies paradox; even Jesus Himself was sovereign AND He submitted to authority. He’s the beginning AND the end. He isn’t relegated to one or the other. Join us for this 14-day study as we learn about how God’s kingdom and character may surprise us.

Jesus invites people into the kingdom of God. This is not an actual physical place. It transcends time and space, which makes it difficult to see what God’s Kingdom exactly is. Let’s read a collection of Bible passages to learn what God’s Kingdom is and how you can inherit it.

God made us for community. We were not made to be alone. When we invite Jesus into our lives and receive His Spirit, He draws us into something bigger than ourselves. Church community can be hard and it can be messy, but when people of different backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities come together in one Spirit, it brings glory to God in a way that nothing else can.

Life is confusing and overwhelming at times. We wish there was a simple answer to our questions and problems, so why do we resist when people say, “What you need is Jesus”? Truth? “Jesus” isn’t just a church answer to church questions. As members of the early church discovered, Jesus is the answer you’re looking for. He really is what you need. Period.

When the breath of God collides with the blaze of God, something supernatural happens. That’s the moment when we’re forced to acknowledge the Creator of the universe is both gentle and fierce. The moment when wind meets fire. This devotional is based on the Elevation Worship album "When Wind Meets Fire." It is meant to encourage your faith, allowing God to breathe fresh life into dry places. Written by Chris Brown, Tiffany Hudson, Jonsal Barrientes, Isaiah Templeton, Jenna Barrientes, Reggi Beasley, and Bella Cordera.

God began by calling a man, then a nation, and finally through Jesus, established a church. The Basic Training Challenge provides you with a starting point to learn about God’s mission here on earth through the Christian church. Similar to your basic training, this plan will challenge you to get spiritually fit in God’s Word.

Every successful mission starts with a vision and a group of people united to fight for it. We seek justice, order, equality, and peace in hopes of creating a better world. God’s vision is to heal a broken world, and he uses the Church to accomplish wholeness. In this study, you will learn about God’s ultimate plan for his people and how his sovereignty throughout history is accomplishing his mission.

There is more! Through this 15-day devotional, we will adventure together to experience more of His presence and power in our everyday lives. In a world full of distractions and competing agendas, let us focus on Him, hearing His voice, seeking His kingdom, and believing we will experience more of His presence and power.

The message of Pentecost is that we are not alone. In a specific moment in time, 50 days after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, the Spirit of God was poured out on all people – forever! This Pentecost series explores and celebrates the powerful difference doing life with the Spirit can make in our lives, in communities and in the world.

(Part one of a four part journey through the Books of Acts.) Even in (and especially in?) hard times, God is present and is working to build His Church. We can find encouragement in this. When circumstances force us to pivot, we don’t have to lose heart - God is with us.
