Chapter 5 is the centre point of Matthew’s presentation of the sayings of Jesus, particularly as it relates to the Law. I hope you are as taken by the words and authority of Jesus as I have been. This is nothing less than our manifesto – kingdom behaviour, ethics, and call, all in these verses. What Jesus says is pure genius. How Matthew puts it together is inspiring.

Feelings of shame can have an enormous impact on your life. Sometimes these feelings are justified, but often they are not, for example when you feel ashamed of your faith in Jesus.

This plan is a guide to discover God’s story as it unfolds in the Bible - from Genesis through Revelation. Over 12 days, each devotional will introduce one part of that story.

The Bible reading each day should take about 30 minutes.

Christmas is a time of vision, a time to consider the landscape of human life, what it means, and why it’s valuable. The mental image of Christmas is the Nativity, the crude circumstances that surrounded the moment when God reinforced the dignity of Humanity by clothing Himself as a human. But He did not stop there. Christmas brings into focus the only two sacred things in this world—God and People. Christmas is about Life. The Author of Life. Your Life. My Life. And the Life of the world. This 12-day Plan celebrates Life.

Every person has certain character traits that he or she is born with. That makes us all unique. However, we can also consciously choose to develop certain virtues.

Work takes up the majority of our waking hours; it is the most significant activity in our lives. This makes sense if we look through Genesis 1–2 and see that work is the first command we receive from God. We were created to work with God in stewarding his creation. In this series we will look at different dimensions of our work in light of God’s word.

One of the best-known commandments in the Bible is to love your neighbor. Jesus even says this is the most important command, next to loving God. But who is our ‘neighbor’ and what does it mean to ‘love’ him? In this Reading Plan, we will read some of Jesus’ teachings and some real-life examples.

These days, it is commonly believed that all religions are more or less the same. The idea of a unique Saviour is not popular. Yet the Bible teaches that Jesus is unique. There has never been anyone like him. How can this be? How is he different from all others.? In this stirring Bible Plan, Australian author and teacher Dr Barry Chant explores eight ways in which Jesus is unique.

When Jesus saw the crowd and sat down to teach them on some unnamed hillside in Palestine, he refuted forever the false idea that somehow we can be Christians and citizens of the Kingdom of God in good standing without experiencing life change. Let the words of Jesus land on your ears and leave you astonished. The standard of righteousness described in the Sermon on the Mount should leave us feeling utterly helpless when we think of our own small obedience, but gloriously encouraged as we depend upon the indwelling Spirit who brings us into union with Christ’s perfect righteousness
