A five-day devotional that reminds us that the word is active. The Bible is God’s word in action. Through the Scripture we can reflect on God’s faithfulness and all that has been accomplished through the Word of God.

The Word Is Alive

Did you know that God created you with the longing to have joy? Your desire for joy was purposely put inside you by the Creator. Joy is in you, but it has to be stirred up. This devotional includes scriptures, prayer, and songs to help you access the joy within you. Complete this 6-day plan to stir up the joy in you! 

Stir Up Joy! 

How can the fruit of the spirit win the battle against the sins of my flesh? This five-day reading plan shows the battles of PATIENCE versus impatience, sorrow, pride, anger, and entitlement. Kristi Krauss uses the fruit of the spirit found in Galatians 5 as a guide to spur us into action and become champions of PATIENCE in our daily lives.

PATIENCE - Champions by the Fruit of the Spirit

At Christmastime, there's always a lot for us to look forward to — sometimes impatiently. But you know the saying, "good things come to those who wait”? It's true for Christmases now, but it was true on the very first Christmas as well, when God's long-awaited plan began to unfold. In this 20-day devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we’ll hear more about God's plans for us and the whole world.

Good Things

Why does God allow suffering? How can we be joyful in all circumstances? When can Christians expect their trials to end? In this seven-day plan, Alistair Begg answers questions like these by diving into classic passages on suffering from Genesis, Job, the Psalms, James, and more.

Suffering Knows No Strangers

Self-pity slyly whispers that we deserve better. It clouds our thinking until grumbling seems inevitable. But thanking God lifts our gaze. This plan examines Bible characters tempted toward self-pity, Jesus’ sinless victory over a similar situation, and God’s invitation into gratitude and joy. We’ll counter self-pity’s lies like “I’m in this alone,” “I don’t have enough,” and “I’m taken for granted” by celebrating God’s ability, help, provision, honor, and love. 

From Grumbling to Gratitude...Escaping Self-Pity's Snare

It’s easy to rejoice when life is going well, but what about when it’s hard? First Thessalonians 5:16 says to “rejoice always,” but what does that mean? Over the next five days, Denise Renner covers numerous reasons we have to rejoice, how to choose joy, and the effects joy has on our lives. Once you obey God’s command to “rejoice always,” its transformative effects manifest in your life!



Rejoice Always!

We may not always see or feel it, but God is always with us... even when we're going through hard things. In this plan, Finding  Hope Coordinator Amy LaRue writes from the heart about her own family's struggle with addiction and how God's joy broke through in their darkest times.

Joy for the Journey: Finding Hope in the Midst of Trial

People often say, “Give God your burdens.” Do you ever wonder: How do I do that? The brokenness of the world feels too heavy. And as much as you desire to shine the light of Jesus, you wonder what that looks like when you struggle to see the light yourself. This devotional looks at how we can be lights for Jesus even when our own world feels dark.
