Jesus loves rest. Quiet moments away were part of His routine. Read about how Jesus’ call to rest showed His concern for His disciples, who had been so preoccupied with the mission that they could not even find time to eat. Learn how intentional rest can help us recuperate and be more effective for God. Discover how to balance rest and action in your own life.

Finding Strength in Stillness

Jesus promised his followers the Holy Spirit. That promise is still alive. This 4-day plan will help you open your heart, shift your expectations, and start asking for more. Not more comfort, but more of God. Real power. Real presence. Real change. Are you ready to stop settling and start expecting? No hype. Just a willing heart.

Living With Expectation

“All things work together for my good.” Sound familiar? That’s a promise I built my life on. But, until recently, my understanding of that truth was woefully incomplete and self-centered.

How often do we turn God’s glorious promises into a self-serving motto? This plan looks at Romans 8:28-30 through the lens of a parable Jesus told to hopefully give us a better understanding of our identity in God’s Kingdom.

All Things for My Good?

In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to forget the essential truth that God is with us. In this four-day reading plan, Darasimi Gomba-Oyor invites us to discover a deeper awareness of God’s presence. The consciousness of God’s nearness and His involvement in our lives transforms us by shaping character, guiding decisions, and empowering us to live with purpose, peace, integrity, and joy.

Consciousness of God's Presence

What is one part of your “ordinary” day that could become an opportunity for God to use you? The disciples were socially insignificant—ordinary guys who would fail and disappoint Jesus—but their role was crucial to the success of His mission. Read stories of God using ordinary people in extraordinary ways as a testimony of His grace and power. Be encouraged to allow this grace and power to be evident in the ordinary and mundane events of life.
