New Testament Books

At the start and middle of every year, we come together as a church to pray and fast to know God more. We believe that God’s heart has always been to reconcile the world to Himself, and He is calling us to actively participate in this mission. As His people set apart for His purpose, let’s discover what God is doing in the world and continue to seek Him and ask Him to grow our passion for missions to reach every nation and campus for His glory.

The Mission | Midyear Prayer and Fasting Devotional 2026

“The Kingsmen: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Mission” is a 7-day Bible plan that helps you see your ordinary life as a strategic assignment from King Jesus. Drawing from Matthew 10 and Mavuno Church’s “The Kingsmen” series, it uses the Kingsman movie idea—ordinary recruits on an extraordinary mission—to show how God sends you into your real “sector”: home, school, office, campus, or neighborhood. Each day explores calling, conduct, cost, confidence, continuance, circle, and fruitfulness, with Bible passages, a clear devotional, simple real-life application, a short prayer, a practical next step, and two reflection questions to help you respond.

The Kingsmen: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Mission

The Gospel of Matthew is the most comprehensive portrait of Jesus’ teaching in the New Testament — and one of the most misread. Its familiar passages are often treated as moral advice when Matthew intends something more demanding: an encounter with a person who announces that everything has changed. Over seven days, this plan traces the kingdom Matthew proclaims, the interior righteousness it requires, the community it creates, and the promise that grounds it all: God is with us.

MATTHEW EXPLAINED

Solid Ground is a four‑day journey through Jesus’ parable of the wise and foolish builders (Matthew 7:24-27), designed for anyone whose life feels shaken by pressure, loss, or disappointment. Together, we’ll move from merely hearing Jesus’ words to building on them in everyday choices, so your life, relationships, and faith can stand firm when the storms come.

Solid Ground

Who is Jesus? This is the ultimate question. Because if Jesus really is who He said He is, it changes everything. But if Jesus is not who He said He is, it also changes everything. Join us in the final part of our journey through the Gospel of Matthew as we discover the answer to this ultimate question.


Who Is Jesus? Part 4

As we enter the season of Lent, the 40 days of spiritual preparation leading up to Easter, let's sit with Jesus on the mountainside and listen with open hearts to His teaching found in Matthew chapters 5-7.

Preparing Your Heart for Lent and Easter With the Sermon on the Mount

How do you live when no one is watching? In a culture obsessed with appearances, Jesus reminds us that what we do in secret reveals the true condition of our hearts. In the “Behind Closed Doors” Bible study, we’ll walk through Matthew 6:1–24 and explore four key areas of life. Prayerfully, as we continue our journey through the Sermon on the Mount, we will see the Holy Spirit heal the divide between our private life and public image!

Behind Closed Doors

It’s hard to describe what the kingdom of God is like, so Jesus makes comparisons to things we know, and contrasts his kingdom with the religious establishment. In our hearts we know what God is really like, but Jesus shows us with his life, and finally his death. But that’s not the end of the story…

Matthew Explained Part 2 | Kingdom of God

This simple plan will lead you through the Gospel According to Matthew from beginning to end.

Matthew

Missional living is born in the heart of the Father, centered in the person of Jesus, and fueled by the power of the Holy Spirit. A central characteristic of Jesus’ missional engagement with human beings during his earthly ministry was COMPASSION. In this 10-day series, we will dwell on passages that highlight the compassion for lost and wounded people that was at the heart of Jesus’ ministry, and we will consider the implications of that Spirit-fueled compassion for our own mission.

Jesus’ Compassion: The Heart of Missional Living

A journey through the Sermon on the Mount. Looking at its bold,
revolutionary, and clear declaration of God’s plan for Humanity.

The Kings Speech: A Devotional on the Sermon on the Mount

Join us for 7 days of exploring the Lord's Prayer. Each day focuses on a different part of this simple but powerful prayer, helping you understand its meaning and apply it to your daily life. Through thoughtful reflections and practical application, you'll discover how these ancient words can transform your prayer life and deepen your relationship with God.

Living Changed: The Lord’s Prayer

From the triumphal entry and welcome of “Hosanna,” to the final claim of “He’s alive,” we see many dramatic shifts in the relationship between the crowd and King Jesus during His last week in Jerusalem. Join Journey Worship Co. and Nick Judd, one of their pastors at The Journey Church, as they dive into these interactions and magnify the worthiness of Christ!

Worthy: 5 Days to the Resurrection

Jesus emphasized the importance of the faith of people in enabling God to work in great power. But what does faith-filled prayer that moves mountains look like? There are many misconceptions around the place. This plan takes you through seven of Jesus' statements on faith in the Gospel of Matthew and draws out a clear picture of mountain-moving faith that will both encourage and challenge you. 

Mountain Moving Faith and Prayer

Jesus healed people in many ways, and He is still bringing healing today. This 30-day plan explores His healing moments in Matthew, reminding us what they meant then and what they mean now. Whether you are walking through physical struggles, emotional pain, or spiritual battles, you are invited to draw near to Him and discover that healing may look different, but His presence and love remain the same.  

Matthew: Healing in His Presence

This week, explore the final days in the life of Christ. If you had one week to live, what would you do? Where would you go? Who would you see? The answers disclose the deepest values of someone’s heart and life. Spend seven days reflecting on the mission and priorities of our Lord and asking yourself if you live by the same. Let's head to the cross together. 

His Last Week

Spend time in intentional preparation as Easter draws near. Walk through each day of Holy Week in this 5-day devotional and discover what Jesus taught and did the week before his death and resurrection. 

Holy Week - Follow the Final Steps of Jesus

Join us for a 90-day Bible Reading Plan dedicated to reading through the four gospels! It will open discussions, lead you to personal growth and multiply your view of our marvelous Savior!

Holy 90 (The Four Gospels)

In the fifth and final part of this verse-by-verse breakdown of the Gospel of Matthew, we'll work our way through Matthew 21-28, exploring the final week of Jesus' life, His death, resurrection, and ascension to Heaven.



Matthew 21-28: Culmination of the Kingdom

The Miracles of Jesus devotional series invites us to encounter the living Christ through His powerful works and personal compassion. From the empty tomb to storms on the sea and the feeding of the multitudes, we see that Jesus meets us in doubt, need, and uncertainty. These devotionals remind us that faith grows as we draw near to Jesus, bring Him what we have, and walk in obedience. Miracles flow not from striving, but from relationship, trust, and a heart aligned with God’s purposes.

The Miracles of Jesus

Have you ever experienced the death of a dream or the loss of something you love? When Mary Magdalene and the other Mary embarked on their journey to the tomb in Matthew 28, they had barely a weekend to process an unimaginable loss. In the “At The Tomb” Bible study, we’re going to take a closer look at the angel's words in Matthew 28:1–10 and discover three obstacles that Jesus’ death overcame for both women, as well as for everyone who places their faith in Him!

At the Tomb

Journey through the Gospel of Matthew with this 30-day Bible Plan—including a devotional to help you grow in faith. This Gospel is written by Matthew to prove that Jesus is the Messiah, the eternal King. Sign up and let God’s Word transform your heart.

Are you ready to deepen your prayer life, but not sure how to start? Let’s take a closer look at the instructions Jesus gives us on how to pray in Matthew 6. Learn how to pray like Jesus in this 7-day Bible Plan from Pastor Amy Groeschel.

Praying Like Jesus

When anxiety attacks, what should be our response? As we continue our trek through the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us the answer in the conclusion of chapter 6: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33 ESV). In “Seek First”, we’re going to walk through Matthew 6:25–7:11 and take a closer look at four things we’re often tempted to pursue before Jesus. Prayerfully, as we study God’s Word together, our worry will be replaced with a desire to seek Him first!

Seek First

In Matthew 26-28, we read in detail about Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection. This reading plan will help you go step by step through this impressive story and discover how these events have great meaning for you as well.

The Death and Resurrection of the King

There are seasons when we keep moving forward, yet something inside begins to slow down. Faith becomes more mechanical, peace more fragile, and the heart less attentive. Yet Jesus invites us to stay watchful, pray, and remain spiritually awake. In this plan, you will discover how to recognize what has fallen asleep in you, how to step away from distractions that drain you, how to return to simple prayer, and how to live more aware of God’s presence. If you feel your heart has grown drowsy, these five days can rekindle what matters most.

Awaken What Has Fallen Asleep in You

The Gospel of Mark wastes no time. It opens mid-action, moves without pause, and ends without resolution — leaving the reader in the same silence as the women who fled from the empty tomb. Of the four Gospels, Mark is the most urgent and the most honest about what following Jesus costs. Over seven days, this plan traces that urgency: who Jesus is, what genuine authority looks like, what the cross demands, why failure is not the final word, and what the open ending is still asking of every reader who arrives at it.

MARK EXPLAINED

The Gospel of Mark (Part Five)

This devotional considers the cry of the father in Mark 9:24, “I believe; help my unbelief,” as a window into the often-overlooked spiritual struggles of Christian fatherhood. This six-day study will examine how faith can weaken under pressure and how that weakening often surfaces in passivity, carelessness, inconsistency, and a failure to shepherd our sons and daughters with discernment. Its aim is not to condemn struggling fathers, but to call them to honest self-examination, repentance, renewed dependence upon Christ, and more faithful spiritual leadership in the home.

Christian Fatherhood in the Age of Unbelief

Mark Explained Part 3 | King on a Cross

This phase in Jesus’ life is focused on leadership development. As the movement continues to grow, Jesus begins to hand-select from his disciples a few to be servant leaders of the movement. After a full night of prayer, consulting with his Father, Jesus appoints twelve men who will begin their apprenticeship as leaders and will eventually become the leaders of the movement.

The Life of Jesus Pt. 4 – Developing Leaders

In this final phase of leadership development, Jesus’ style is radical and it flies in the face of many of the popular beliefs of leadership at the time. Get ready to see leadership Jesus-style. During this phase Jesus reveals to his committed core of disciples the Father’s master plan for reaching the world.

The Life of Jesus Pt. 5 – Multiplying Leaders

Who is Jesus? Philosophy, literature, art, politics -- all of them have been profoundly impacted by the life and teaching of this one man. And Christians call him Savior -- the Son of God. Jesus is by any estimation one of the most influential figures in human history. So who is He? We’re here in Mark -- to find out what the Bible says about it.

Mark Explained Part 2 | Sent Out

Mark uses the word “immediately” over forty times in his Gospel, emphasizing the intentional nature of Jesus’ ministry. The quick succession of healings and miracles shows that Jesus “came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:44). Through Mark’s Gospel, we are reminded that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes not through selfish ambition, but by being the servant of all.

Christ as Servant: A Study in Mark

It’s easy to see a story through our own lens and miss the
bigger picture.
That’s exactly what happened in the days leading up to Jesus’s
death. His followers, his critics, and the crowds all had their own
interpretations of the events unfolding before them—but Jesus
knew something they didn’t.
In Misunderstandings of Easter, a five-day reading plan, we’ll
uncover what they missed and how understanding it can change
the way we see Easter today.

The Misunderstandings of Easter

From kings and rulers to shepherds and expectant virgins, Jesus’ advent reveals what we treasure. Find him the joy of your heart this Christmas.  


Every Longing Heart

Luke’s detailed investigation of the life of Jesus is good news for those of us who aren’t the best, the brightest, the strongest, or the holiest. His gospel reminds us that Jesus offers joy to the financially poor, the socially marginalized, and the spiritually broken.  Mary from Nazareth, third-shift shepherds, and notorious tax collectors all found hope and salvation in Jesus. By reading Luke’s gospel, we can too.


Unexpected Love: A Study of the Gospel of Luke

In this twenty-three-day plan, you’ll dive into the life of Jesus and the life of his followers through reading Luke and Acts. The Gospel of Luke is an eye-witness account of one of Jesus’ closest followers about his life, death, and resurrection. Acts is the sequel to the book of Luke, and continues the story of Jesus’ impact in the world through his Spirit-empowered followers.

Jesus' healing ministry addresses body, soul and spirit. This study may change the way you view healing, and most importantly draw you closer to our Heavenly Father.

HEAL - God's Heart for Healing in Luke

Over the centuries, millions have been stirred by Christ’s lessons on the Law of Love, the Golden Rule, forgiving one’s enemies, and bearing good fruit. But are these famous words in Luke 6 really just a collection of inspiring moral teaching? Or do they offer us something even greater? In this 9-day plan, we learn how they can lead to a transformation that can only be accomplished by Jesus Himself.

Transformed: A 9-Day Plan on Jesus’ Sermon on the Plain

Luke

At Pentecost, we commemorate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. But long before Pentecost, He was already at work! This reading plan shows how the Holy Spirit was involved in the birth of Jesus, His ministry on earth, His resurrection, and the spread of the Gospel about Jesus’ salvation work — even to this day.

The Holy Spirit at Work in the Life of Jesus

When you look at your life, what is driving your actions? In this reading plan, we will observe the works that Jesus did as He encountered three desperate people: a tax collector, a paralytic, and a leper. Each encounter reveals to us as Jesus' apprentices one aspect of how we are to model our lives after Him.

Doing What Jesus Did

We all know the sting of failure—the moments when we promised to be strong but ended up being weak. This plan follows the journey of the apostle Peter, from his bold promises to his bitter weeping after denying Jesus. You will discover that your failures do not define your future. You will see how Jesus intercedes for us in our weakness and how His "look of love" leads us not to shame, but to a restoration that makes us stronger than before.

Fresh Start

There are wounds caused by rejection, being overlooked, or feeling pushed aside. When we do not feel chosen, recognized, or welcomed, the heart can begin to close. Yet Jesus reminds us of a powerful truth: the stone that was rejected became essential. In this plan, you will discover how God sees differently than people do, how rejection does not cancel your worth, how He can turn pain into strength, and how to rise again with hope. If you have ever felt dismissed or underestimated, these five days can restore the way you see yourself.

God Can Raise What Has Been Rejected

Jesus begins his earthly ministry when he is about thirty years old (Luke 3:23). We call this phase “Ministry Foundations.” It lasts about a year and a half. During this time, Jesus will issue two calls. To unbelievers, he says, “Come and see.” To believers, he says, “Follow me” (John 1:39-40).

The Life of Jesus Pt. 2 – Ministry Foundations

Easter Matters is a devotion series designed to walk you through Jesus' death and resurrection in the Gospel of Luke. 

This Easter is an opportunity to proclaim the story of Jesus again. Easter matters, because it’s the moment when God pierced the darkness with light, when He gave hope to the hopeless, when life triumphed over death. Easter matters because you matter to God. 

This series was written by Pastor Ben Hewitt and Gerald Liew from City on a Hill Ballarat, and Jimmy Shepherd from City on a Hill Tweed.

Easter Matters

The Good News of Jesus is not supposed to be respectable! It’s a radical call to live a humble and sacrificial life. As Christians, we believe the four Gospels are not just historical books but words inspired by God to teach and transform us to become more like Jesus. As you read through Luke, one chapter a day, we hope this journey will challenge you to live out the radical message of Jesus. Get ready for the Gospel of Luke!

Journey with us this month as we explore the theme “God’s Renewing Word of Joy.”

Daily Bible Reading, December 2022: God’s Renewing Word of Joy

Luke’s Gospel is a beautiful and powerful telling of the life of Jesus. Luke focuses on Jesus as the Son of Man, the foretold Messiah who came to “seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). This Gospel shows us the “Upside-Down Kingdom” - that God uses what the world deems foolish and weak to shame the wise and strong.
