New Testament Books

What if the Christian life isn’t just about trying to be like Jesus, but learning to live in Him?

This 7-day devotional explores the deep identity God gives in 1 Peter 2:9 - that you are chosen, loved, and called into a life of purpose, not by performance but by presence. Through the life of Peter, you’ll discover what it means to move from striving to abiding, from isolation to community, and from darkness into His marvelous light. This isn’t just a devotional, it’s an invitation to become who you already are in Christ.

Not Just Like Him - in Him

2 Peter is all about Jesus! This 4-day plan will walk you through the book of 2 Peter by reading just a chapter or two a day. Each day is accompanied by a short devotional and video that explains what’s happening and shows you how each part of the story points to Jesus and his Gospel.

Jesus in All of 2 Peter - a Video Devotional

Peter knows he is about to be sacrificed. So, before saying farewell, he writes his second letter to make sure we know everything we need to know. What does he say? And why is it so important? “Promises of a Precious Faith” is Part One of Pastor Mark Rae’s new series, KNOW THIS, based on the second letter of the Apostle Peter.

[Know This] Promises of a Precious Faith

In his second letter, Peter challenged the church to pursue knowledge of God’s Word. If you know the truth, you’ll be able to spot errors. He urged them to simultaneously “be on guard” and “grow in grace.” Peter couldn’t stress enough how important it is for believers to grow in our understanding of God and His Word. Follow along as Dr. J. Vernon McGee helps us do just that.  

Thru the Bible—2 Peter

In “Triumph over Trials,” we will study the books of First and Second Peter. These letters remain as relevant today as when Peter first wrote them and provide an invaluable compass for navigating life in these challenging times.

1 + 2 Peter | Reading Plan + Study Questions

Nearing the end of our life, irrelevant and petty things fall away, leaving only essentials. Peter knew his life was soon to be taken from him, and passionately wrote his second letter to pass on the most important lessons learned from his precious Lord and Savior. Join us in exploring what it means to "make every effort" to grow in our Christian life.  

Make Every Effort: Peter's Fervent Pleas

Following his first letter, Apostle Peter must have received reports of false teachers and backsliders who indulged in sin and scoffed at Jesus’s second coming. He then writes this letter to strengthen believers in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, calling them to escape from worldly corruption and to grow in the qualities of faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly affection and love. 

Through the Bible: 2 Peter

We may not literally walk on water these days, but as you follow along these seven days you may recognize some of Peter's challenges in your own life. Perhaps you feel that God is calling you into something that scares you or maybe you are battling feelings of failure or self-judgement. Let this devotional inspire you to trust, step out in faith, and refocus on Him this week.

Real Hope: Hope in the Life of Peter

“God has given us everything we need for a godly life.” In his final letter, Peter reminds us that we are fully equipped. God gave us all we need, and he wants us to grow! Join TeDese Ross for a clear explanation and compelling application through 2nd Peter, as Peter commends us to grow in the Scriptures, discern truth from lies, and wait patiently for Christ’s return.

2nd Peter Explained | All You Need to Live Godly

Shortly after writing his first letter, Peter hears word of false teaching spreading amongst the churches in Asia Minor. The letter focuses on combating false teachers and encouraging believers to grow in spiritual maturity by studying the Scriptures. Second Peter reminds us to be diligent in confirming our calling by cultivating Christ-likeness in all aspects of our lives.

Calling: A Study in 2 Peter

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this heart-transforming devotional. When you surrender to Christ, He gives you the power to surrender and submit to His Word. It is not by your own good works or deeds that you are saved. It is through Jesus Christ that you are set free and delivered from the bondages and strongholds of sin. Let Christ transform you as you read this powerful devotional.

Through Christ You Are Set Free

In this six-day devotional for teens, we explore the Book of 2 Peter and the warning given to us by the apostle Peter.

Warning: 2 Peter

Life brings trials, but God’s grace sustains us. Peter’s letters offer wisdom on faith, endurance, and living with hope. Each day, we’ll explore Scripture, reflect on its truth, and grow in God’s strength. No matter where you are in your journey, His grace is enough. Join in as we learn to stand firm and live boldly for Christ!

Bible Yearly Plan for December

In just two verses—John 3:16 and 1 John 3:16—God reveals the depth of His love for humanity and the call for believers to live in response to Jesus' sacrifice. These passages, penned by the disciple Jesus loved, proclaim the very heart of the Gospel. Over the next five days, we will unpack these two verses to better understand God's boundless love and what it means to imitate Christ.

He First Loved Us

He died for you. 

Whosoever Shall Confess

Share this devotional with others as Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful message. Christ willingly laid down His life for you.

1, 2, + 3 John | Reading Plan + Study Questions

1 John is one of the most quoted books of the Bible, and for a good reason: John understood God’s love in a special way. As we explore the pages of this book, let that be our main goal: to understand the love of God better and better, and to grow closer to Him.

The First Letter of John

The communities Apostle John pastored were filled with internal dissensions, false teachings self-claimed to be from the Spirit, and fake Christians who had depraved lifestyles. John wrote these letters to call readers to focus on the truth, discerning between the true and false teachings and between Christian and un-Christian behavior. The church door is open to all, but having the discernment to single out the pseudo-Christians is especially important.

New Testament in a Year: July

How can we know for certain that we are saved? What truth can we rest in when we doubt our salvation? This study goes through the letters of John, showing us what it looks like to be a follower of Jesus and how to know without a shadow of a doubt that we belong to Christ.

Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt: Finding Security & Certainty in Christ

Walk In The Light

This devotion will take you through the entire book of 1 John. In 1 John, we see what humanity's reasonable response is to God's radical love.

1 John

The apostle John, known as the beloved disciple because he lay on Jesus’ chest, shows us in his first letter some aspects of God’s love. In this plan, Pastor Jeff Wells highlights four aspects of the way God loves us. Delight yourself and enjoy this reading that will make you love the One who loved you first.

The Way God Loves You

God is Light, and in Him, there is no darkness at all. In front of God, everything is exposed and revealed. Most of the time, we desperately try to cover our weaknesses with good works, success, and sometimes even faking our Christian walk. We might deceive ourselves and also others, but we cannot hide anything from God. Find truth and love pursuing the Light! Maturity, growth, and satisfaction will follow. 

[Pursue the Light Series] Pursue the Light 

According to 2 John, you can’t have truth without love, and vice versa. John says our obedience to God should be motivated by love and informed by truth. The keyword of 3 John is “welcome.” Fellowship with God, sharing the gospel, and walking in truth and love produce a spirit of hospitality. Study alongside Dr. J. Vernon McGee as he leads the way through these brief yet impactful books. 

Thru the Bible—2 John & 3 John

Share this Devotional with others as Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this heart-transforming message. Love is a powerful weapon and will release you from the bondage of the past. Love covers. Love restores. Love will soften the ground of your heart. Love will never leave you or forsake you. Love will set you free. God is Love. Let God lead your heart as you read this timely message.

Walk In Love

When we think of the church, do we think of it as a community of truth and love? What is our part in that? How will we contribute to the community? Have we thought that maybe we need to be reminded of something we may be prone to forgo or forget? In this series on 2 John, Dr. Mark Rae gives us the answer to these questions and more.

[Truth & Love] the Practice

Jesus’ death and resurrection, as well as the promise of His return, prove His unending love for each of us both in words and deeds. Jesus said that there is no greater love than someone giving his life for his friends, but He didn’t merely say it. He did it. 


[Truth & Love] in Word and Deed

What happens when someone who loves to be first takes control of a local church? 2nd & 3rd John may be the Bible’s two shortest books, but they’re part of a much bigger story—one that includes true disciples, traveling deceivers, dangerous hospitality, and the serious perils of arrogance in authority. Join Kris Langham for this powerful glimpse into first-century church struggles and what we can learn from them today.

2 & 3 John Explained | When Arrogance Finds a Pulpit

The worst attacks on our faith come in subtle ways. On the tip of the iceberg, we see arguments from apparently sincere followers of Jesus. But what we don’t see underneath is how their false doctrines can destroy faith. How can we identify these deceivers and their lies? What should we do about them? In this series on the second letter of John, Dr. Mark Rae gives us the answer.


[Truth & Love] the Protection

Decades after Jesus’s death and resurrection, the apostle John wrote three letters to believers experiencing trouble within their church. With the wisdom of age and the authority of experience, John writes to comfort and encourage the flock of God. Let’s turn to these special letters to experience that comfort and encouragement even today. 

John’s Letters: Living in the Light of God’s Love

This devotion (taken from Book of 2 John) will equip you with biblical truths, and guide you to practice it daily as you continue your walk of faith in Christ.


Book of 2 John

The Apostle John had one clear message in his letters: Love one another. In the letters of 1, 2, and 3 John, the beloved disciple encouraged followers of Christ to love God by following His commands, and to love and honor fellow believers. John’s message is incredibly relevant to us today, offering insight to us as we seek to live like Jesus lived and love like Jesus loved. 

Love God Greatly - Know Love: A Study on 1, 2, 3 John

The New Testament books of 1, 2 and 3 John have a recurring theme: love. The author speaks repeatedly of Jesus’s command for believers to love one another. Christian believers should stand apart from the rest of the world, characterized by God’s love. This six-day devotional explores John’s words in his three epistles, offering tangible ways to show God’s love to fellow believers.

Known by Love: A Six-Day Devotional in 1, 2, and 3 John

John's second letter addresses the same false teachers as 1 John. He emphasizes the need for wisdom and discernment when interacting with false teachers. True Christian fellowship is must be founded on the truth of Christ and built in love towards one another.

Discernment: A Study in 2 John

Deeper into Scripture is a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God’s Word daily and deeply. To accomplish this we have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times. Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered. This repetitive reading and instruction takes us deeply into the Word of God and draws us closer to Him.
