Matthew

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful heart transforming devotional. When you focus more on your enemies, than you do God, you begin to worship and magnify the offense instead of worshipping God. When you focus on your enemy, you begin to confess, repeat and rehearse what they’ve done to you. Worship God and not your enemy. What has your heart entangled? Let God lead your heart.

Love Your Enemies.

It can be tempting to pursue personal, immediate success in this life. But is that really the best way to live? What does it look like to find true, lasting success—what the Bible calls “treasures in heaven”? Find out in this three-day Bible Plan, based on Wonderhunt’s short film, For Generations to Come.

Living a Life That Matters

Jesus often taught about the day of judgment and his return at the end of the age. However, sometimes, we find these sayings challenging to accept or understand and are tempted to avoid them! Over our four-day series, we will learn how parables on this topic in Matthew 24-25 can actually encourage us, help us live as his disciples, and prepare us for his return.

Matthew 22:37-39 tells us to love God with all our heart, soul and mind. But what does that look like? As we unpack these verses we will learn what this means and how we can "Love God Big". 

Loving God Big

New Testament in a Year: December

“You have heard it said…” 

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus begins to rebuild and reform our understanding of life in His Kingdom. In Matthew 5-7, He challenges the religious traditions of His day and the competing worldviews of our own. His words are a call to transformation—a new way to live under His reign. As Jesus lays the foundation for His Kingdom, we are invited to tear down false beliefs and build our lives on His truth. 

The Rebuild: Matthew 5-7

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this life-transforming devotional. Don’t be afraid to ask. Ask your Heavenly Father. Fear will steal your ask. Fear will keep you silent. Fear will keep you from asking. Fear will choke your ask. Fear will suffocate your ask. Choose to surrender to God. Choose to ask your Heavenly Father. Let God lead your heart as you read this timely message.

Ask and It Shall Be Given Unto You

The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ orientation address to His disciples. In the rest of the New Testament we find more details on how to build our lives to maturity, as individuals and as part of a church. But we can begin at no better place than here. This is where the Lord chooses to begin His disciples’ training with solid building blocks for a godly life.
