If someone asked you, "What is the Kingdom of God?", what would you say? It's a big story - a whole Bible's worth. But there is one place where you can see the story of the Kingdom - the past, the present, and the future - all come together: the book of Daniel. 

Daniel

The Gospel of Matthew bridges the gap between the testaments, swinging back to gather up prophecies and going forward into the future, the first to mention the church by name. Matthew presents Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah and King. And though originally written to Jewish people, we can see Jesus Christ in a fresh new light through these 20 lessons from trusted Bible teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

Two-Year Bible Reading Plan: Volume 2

Partial Bible

Most believers know that Jesus defeated the devil. But very few understand what that victory specifically means for their daily lives, or that they have been given real authority to enforce it. Many are living defensively, as though they are at the mercy of spiritual forces, when the Bible says the exact opposite is true. This plan will show you what Jesus actually did to the powers of darkness, what that means for your life right now, and the authority He gave you to walk in a victory that has already been won.

You Have Been Given Authority You Are Not Using

There’s a difference between having a Bible and actually knowing how to use it. Many of us have grown up around Scripture, but when pressure hits, it can still feel like we’re reaching for something we’re not confident using. This plan is here to change that. 
The Word was never meant to sit on a shelf, but to be lived, spoken, and used. In Matthew 4, Jesus shows us how: “It is written.” By the end of these 7 days, you won’t just be reading The Word, you’ll be walking in it.

Serving God comes with a host of benefits, which many believers who are active in the ministry look forward to. But what if I told you that service in God's kingdom isn't only about rewards but sacrifice? Learn more in this Bible plan

The Benefits of Serving God

What if the gospel is bigger than you thought?

Before it became a message about personal salvation, the gospel was an announcement: God reigns. The prophets spoke of a coming King who would bring justice, restore Israel, and renew the world.

But the story takes an unexpected turn. Israel fails. The kingdom falls. Exile comes. Yet the promise remains.

This 14-day plan traces Israel’s rise and fall, the voice of the prophets, and the hope of a coming King.

Based on Sebastiaan van Wessem's book All Things Restored (ch. 4-5), but readable on its own.

Your promise isn't dead—it's just waiting for you to take your position.

The Birthing Posture: Restoring the Vigor of Your Prayer Life

AI is everywhere, and almost nobody is asking the right questions about it. This seven-day plan is not a technology review. It is a spiritual one. It will ask what your use of AI reveals about your heart: what you are reaching for, who you are serving, and whether your choices reflect the Jesus you say you follow. These questions are uncomfortable. They are also exactly the right ones to ask.

AI and the Human Heart: What Christians Should Ask Before They Click

​When Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, He presented an "upside-down Kingdom." His first words, the Beatitudes, completely shattered the world's value system.

Get ready to unlearn what you've been taught about success and discover what it truly means to be blessed by God.

The Upside-Down Kingdom: A Deep Study of the Beatitudes

This plan offers a clear starting point as you read 1 and 2 Samuel.

1 and 2 Samuel: A Guided Bible Introduction

THE MYSTERY of the HOLY SPIRIT ( Week 4 )

Have you ever wondered what the Bible says about the future, and where the story is heading?

This 14-day plan follows the next part of the story: the return of the King and the renewal of all things. You’ll explore what Scripture says about a time of testing, the coming of Jesus in glory, his reign, and the promise of new creation.

You’ll see that the story is moving somewhere, and that God is bringing everything toward restoration. Based on Sebastiaan van Wessem’s book All Things Restored (ch. 11-13), but fully readable on its own.

All Things Restored IV - the Return of the King and the Renewal of All Things

In order for us to understand who Jesus is, we have to understand the story he saved us from. This summer, we will be diving into the start of the Old Testament with Genesis and Exodus. The hope is that this gives you a kickstart to read the Bible in its entirety or a refresher on where God's story began.

Flatirons Students Summer Devo

Daily victories from God are evident in the stories of six different Biblical people, each with a different focus:

BARNABAS with encouragement.
PHILIP with purpose.
TIMOTHY with faith.

40 Days of Victory

Begin your journey through Ruth with clarity.

On the first day of this plan, you will read a guided introduction alongside the opening chapter of Ruth. This introduction explains a story of loss, faithfulness, and redemption during the time of the judges. You will see how God worked through ordinary lives to bring hope and blessing.
As you read, remember that Ruth is still being translated today so communities around the world can encounter God’s Word in the language they understand best.

This plan offers a clear starting point as you read Ruth.

Ruth: A Guided Bible Introduction

God encoded your purpose in the very first command He gave humanity. This 21-day plan is an invitation to go deep into Genesis 1:26-30 and discover your Divine Natural Assignment — the specific gifts, calling, and mandate He placed inside you before you were born. Each day builds on the last, walking you from identity to fruitfulness and from the discovery of your gift to its full deployment for Kingdom impact. Your purpose is not an accident. It is an assignment.

DNA of PURPOSE

Before Peter became a pillar, he was a person in process — impulsive, inconsistent, yet deeply loved and called by Christ. This 7-day plan explores how the Lord’s shaping of Peter mirrors our own transformation journey: from instability to strength, from failure to faithfulness.

Change & Life Transformation – Part 1: The Process of Transformation — the Old Peter

This devotional is a structured journey into understanding and living by the Scriptures, its authority, reliability, and its central message on Christ. It also explores the purpose of the Scripture as a guide for doctrine, correction, and spiritual growth. This is a call for practical application, and an encouragement to actively reflect God’s Word in our daily decisions and actions.

May Devotional

This 10-day devotional walks through the life of Joseph (Genesis 37–50), revealing how God builds purpose through persistence and shapes character through integrity. From betrayal to promotion, each day invites you to trust God in every season—seen and unseen—while choosing faith, patience, and righteousness. As you journey through Joseph’s story, you’ll find strength to endure, wisdom to remain upright, and confidence that God is working all things for your good.

Persistence & Integrity: The Life of Joseph

Thinking of prayer as "the work of the heart" changes the dynamic of our communication with God—from asking for what we want to an act that transforms who we are.

Join us for this biblical look at prayer and its power.

PRAYER: THE WORK of the HEART

What if the story didn’t end at the cross?

Jesus came announcing the Kingdom of God. He healed, restored, and called people to follow him. Then he was crucified, and it looked like the story was over. But it wasn’t.

In this 21-day plan, follow what happens next: the resurrection, the Spirit poured out at Pentecost, and the forming of a new people. You’ll see that Jesus is not only the King who died, but the King who lives, reigns, and will return.

Based on Sebastiaan van Wessem’s All Things Restored (ch. 6-10), but readable on its own.

All Things Restored III - From Cross to Pentecost: The Beginning of a Restored People

In this second devotion on the fruit of transformation, we continue our deep dive into how an abiding relationship with Christ produces Kingdom fruit. You will be challenged to examine your own life and determine if you do a lot of religious activity for your own good, or if you are humbly broken before God and allow Him to change you into His image. If you have not done the first devotion, you may want to go back and do that one first. 

The Fruit of Transformation (Two)

Peter’s story is one of the most compelling transformations in Scripture. The same man who once wavered under pressure became a leader who stood firm with conviction, clarity, and courage. This 7-day plan explores how God transformed Peter from unstable to unshakable through seven key dimensions: Promise, Power, Purpose, Perspective, Perseverance, People, and Presence.

Change & Life Transformation – Part 2 - the Transformed Peter: Power, Purpose & Presence

You were not created to stay stuck, silent, afraid, or hidden. God placed gifts, ideas, courage, and purpose inside you, and He is calling you to grow beyond the “shells” that limit you. In this 5-day devotional, a young adult speaks honestly to teenagers about identity, stagnation, fear, peer pressure, discipline, and purpose. You will learn how to see yourself the way God sees you, take bold steps, and become much more than you thought possible.
