Our Daily Bread Easter: Amazing Grace

Near the end of his life, John was the last of the living apostles and wrote a story about Jesus. It’s his testimony of who Jesus is, what he said, what he did, and who he claimed to be. Jesus has a story. He invites us to make it our story. When we make Jesus’s story our story, we have life in his name. This plan focuses on Jesus’s final moments with his disciples, crucifixion, and resurrection. It is Jesus’s last will & testament.  

Last Will & Testament: The Last Apostle | Death & Resurrection

Within Eden, sin moved in and made its home in the world. A world of God’s creation became tainted by a curse of our own doing. There is no doubt that sin came to ravage all things good, but woven throughout all of Scripture is the story of God working all things out for His good. We brought sin into the story, but God is reversing the curse.

Reverse the Curse: How Jesus Moves Us From Death to Life

Jesus is undoubtedly famous. You are likely familiar with some of His teachings, His story, and His impact. However, the more you get to know Him, the more you realize—there’s so much more to know! You are invited to spend 25 days not only deepening your knowledge of Jesus but also strengthening your relationship with Him. As you do that, it will open you up to Him and to more life-changing friendships with others.

The vocations represented in the characters of the Easter narrative can teach us a lot about God and how our work is a means of co-laboring with the Risen King. In this four-day plan, we’ll look at the vocations of the disciples at Gethsemane, Joseph of Arimathea, Peter, and Jesus’s first followers to draw out applications for our own work today.

Easter Vocations

If Jesus were on board with every idea His followers have staked His claim in, then He’d be one incredibly confused Son of God, always at odds with Himself and overly busy leading the charge for both sides of every debate. Thankfully, Jesus speaks for Himself. You can read His words in this new Life.Church Bible Plan to accompany Pastor Craig Groeschel’s message series, Things Jesus Never Said. 

Things Jesus Never Said

Lent is a 40-day season leading up to Jesus' death and resurrection. Traditionally, Christians use this time to fast, pray, and give to those in need. It's a time to reflect on our need for God and prepare our hearts for the magnitude of Easter. Use this Lent Devotional to guide you through this sacred season with intentionality. 

Lent: Embracing Your Need for God

I am intrigued by the miracle of life formed at conception. Scientists have discovered that light happens at that moment—the moment life happens, there is light! This is another reminder of the power of Christ's Resurrection. That same power will one day bring us into His everlasting Light! As we reflect on the Light and the Life of the World, may we live as if it is Easter daily!
