මතෙව් 23:25 සම්බන්ධව නිදහස් කියවීමේ සැලසුම් සහ පූජනීයත්වය

This generation is longing for authenticity. God’s perfect will for you is to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. Jesus tells us to not be hypocrites like the Pharisees, but to live a life that backs up what we preach. God desires for us to stay on a path of purity.

Feeling spiritually exhausted from trying to look the part? It’s time for a Holy Hustle Detox with "Sassy Jesus"—the bold, table-flipping Savior who isn’t impressed by perfect appearances. In this 3-day plan by author Heather Hair, you'll discover how Jesus calls out performative religion and invites you into something real, raw, and deliciously restful (because who wouldn't want their "soul rest" to feel like dessert?)

This 4-day plan provides a theological foundation for the importance of doing excellent work and offers practical steps to consistently point people to God through how you work. Excellence is not perfection. A longtime Workmatters advocate says, “Excellence is maximizing our capability for a given assignment. Perfection is the endless pursuit of a false ideal.” Excellence is often lived out in small, ordinary moments—being prompt and prepared, sharpening our skills, prayerful planning, and setting clear priorities. Excellent work reflects how we think about God, serve others in love, and build credibility for sharing our faith in everyday life.

Too many people lose their mind when they fall in love. That’s when the real insanity—and eventual heartache—begins. This chapter provides an alternative. We call it smart love, and it will help you evaluate your romantic relationships with your head, not just your heart. 

They drain your joy, eat up your time, and rain on your parade—but there’s a better way to view difficult people. Let’s learn how to heal the relationships that suck the life out of us. Get ready for God to do His life-giving work when you start this new Life.Church Bible Plan to accompany Pastor Craig Groeschel’s message series, Relational Vampires . 

If we want to share Jesus with others, we’ve got to live like Him, love like Him, and listen like Him. In this 5-day Plan, we’ll take a closer look at the life of Jesus to discover how we should live our lives.

In a defensive and divided era, how can followers of Jesus reveal a better way of living, one that loves others as God loves us? How can Christians be the kind of people who are known, as Proverbs puts it, to "turn away wrath"?

“I am sending you out like sheep among wolves…be as shrewd as snakes…innocent as doves” Matthew 10:16. Culture is ever-changing, meaningful conversations can become more difficult as hostility increases. This plan will encourage you to learn from Jesus example as he engaged with the interested, only sought to intrigue the disinterested, and deflected the hostile. He both thrived and achieved his purpose on earth despite hostility, and so can we!

In 100 carefully selected passages from the Bible, you will discover who Jesus is and why he is so significant – even life-transforming. Through both Old and New Testament readings, you will discover why God sent Jesus, what Jesus taught, how he treated people, why he did miracles, the meaning of his death, the significance of his resurrection, and what the Bible says about his second coming.

Life as a Christian can be quite a journey, full of ups and downs, especially when it comes to our friendships, handling judgment, navigating our words, and confronting our fears. Together, we’ll dive into what it truly means to cultivate friendships built on the foundation of Christ, recognize and steer clear of the legalism that can steal our joy, understand the importance of our words, and discover how God’s perfect love empowers us to face our fears. It’s not about striving for perfection; it’s about drawing closer to Jesus and embracing the person He’s calling you to become.

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re born again and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to different values about right and wrong, and a different lifestyle to match it. This 5-day plan uses the 10 Commandments (following the classic Augustinian ordering) as a vehicle for an alternative, Christ-like morality and Jesus-way of living.

Following Jesus means becoming like Jesus, especially in the face of evil. Stephen in the book of Acts gives us a picture. This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his Kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

Feeling like your life is stuck on autopilot? It’s time to recenter on the things that matter most. In this 6-day Bible Plan accompanying Pastor Craig Groeschel’s message series, True Virtue, we’ll discover how to move beyond empty virtue signaling into real living that honors God and inspires others.

This plan uses the story of the Prodigal son to explore the profound pain of an empty heart and discover the transformative power of recognizing one's unique gifts and purpose.

It's through our RIDICULOUS attention to everything Jesus said and did that we discover the truth about God, and the truth about ourselves. We learn everything about God we need to know by slowing WAY down to consider WHAT Jesus actually said and did, WHO He said and did it to, and WHAT the impact of His words and actions had on people. When we let our pursuit of Jesus guide our understanding of God and His story, we are transformed by what we discover.

Niceness is such a prized quality today. It’s easy to forget how dangerous it is. As Sharon Hodde Miller reminds us, Jesus was kind, loving, and forgiving, but he wasn’t nice. He spoke truth in love, didn’t worry about offending people, and sacrificed everything for people who disagreed with him. This week we’ll look at ways we can follow Jesus’s example and let go of the temptation to be nice.

Too many people are playing at being Christians, and some haven’t yet taken even the first step of belief. No matter where you are in your spiritual walk, Jesus wants you closer. He’s got a perfect plan for your life – a plan for purpose, peace, joy, and eternal life. All it takes is you deciding that the poser life is not for you. You’re going to be fully committed!

Half-hearted, lazy, who cares? Don’t you hate that attitude? Jesus hates it more, as He declared in Revelation 3:16; but how easily we fall into the deception that makes Him want to vomit us out of His mouth! Let’s look at ways we become lukewarm without realizing it, and how to move with our whole hearts into the joy and security of knowing and being known by Him.

Walk through the Holy Week reflecting in prayer on the events that transpired when humanity was offered a relationship with the Living God. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we receive a new life in Him! He is Risen!

Do you struggle to enjoy the weekly rest day the Lord wants for you? Do your rest days sometimes end up being more exhausting than work days? In this plan, we will look into ways to rest intentionally as per God’s desire for us.

Sharing the Gospel message today is challenging due to several obstacles. We are accused of being intolerant when the message hurts people's feelings, condemns certain attitudes and actions, and talks about sin. When we want to declare the truth, we risk being conditioned to soften the edges of the Gospel. Jesus is considered a defender of tolerance, while evangelicals are labeled as bigots and intolerant! What steps can we take to be faithful and effective witnesses today? Let’s learn from the examples of Jesus and Paul found in the New Testament.

These days, the level of uncertainty and anxiety for the Christian man is high, to say the least. If we chose, we could be stressed out 24/7. On any number of issues, there are matters which threaten our peace. But there is one certainty above them all: There is a God in Heaven, above all things, who gives us numerous comforting truths to help us navigate such times with His peace. This week, we will explore these biblical truths. Written by Chris Walker

There is only one way to God, and it's through Jesus. But in Jesus, there are many ways to connect with God. One way is through Learning, where God teaches you a new revelation you didn’t know before. Through Learning, you enter into God’s presence and feel closer to Him as He shares His revelation with you. Through this 7-Day devotional, our goal is that you would walk away understanding the heart of connecting with God through Learning!

Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday and ends with Easter Sunday. By following Christ's footsteps through daily scripture readings, take your own spiritual journey and prepare your heart for honoring him this Easter.
