In several of his letters, the Apostle Paul described the Church as ‘the body of Christ.’ This metaphor is more than just an illustration. Paul didn’t say that the Church is like a body, but that it is the body; some kind of reality is being indicated by these words. Throughout this plan, we will explore what this reality is and what it means to the Church today.

This plan is intended as a guide to discovering the message of Ephesians for yourself! Grab a notebook to jot down your thoughts as you are led through a process of: 1) Observing the text of Ephesians 2) Interpreting its original message to the Ephesian church in the first century 3) Applying the letter’s timeless truths to your life today.

After a year spent hunkering down, living smaller, and experiencing a little more fear and anxiety than usual, we are declaring this is the year of going big.

We will become less guarded and more daring because this is our year to live All For Love.

Many of us carry the heavy burden of mothering alone because we believe certain myths about what a mom should be. We fear embarrassment and rejection when we fall short of that standard. Heather MacFadyen's devotional walks with us through some of the isolating ideas that keep us from reaching out to other moms for companionship and support—and helps us see why God never intended for us to mom alone.

The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 14:1, “Pursue love, yet earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.” In this 7-day devotional, we will lay a solid Biblical foundation for New Covenant prophetic ministry.

In our second devotional on this powerful God-given gift, we dive deeper into revelation, wisdom, and understanding of the Gift of Prophecy. If you're hungry to grow in the things of the Spirit this devotional will help you do just that.

In this week of devotionals, we will explore some of the big ideas from the book of 1 Corinthians, written by the apostle Paul, and consider what it means to be men set apart for the sake of Christ! Written by J.R. Hudberg.

What is wisdom? And where can it be found? Here are two questions which are fundamental to being successful in life, but how many of us find answers to these questions? This plan explores Biblical Wisdom.

How do you define success? What are the measures that you use? God measures success differently than the world does, and as God's people, we should as well. We need a new yardstick, one that measures according to the Spirit, not the flesh. So, the real question is this: How can you know if your life will be a success in God's Eyes? Join Pastor and author Don Cousins to explore Success in God’s Eyes.

Some Christians delight in the subject of spiritual gifts, while others get nervous. Nobody wants to be weird, but nobody wants to miss out on what God has in mind for his church either. The apostle Paul wrote, “Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed” (1 Cor. 12:1). This nine-day reading plan is a “tour” of the nine gifts he listed later in that chapter. Each day gives a brief definition, an example from the early (first-century) church, and then a second example from here and now in our time. 

Life demands we make critical choices, but how can you do so effectively? Your ability to discern can make all the difference in what your future looks like. As you read, you will discover how to measure what you are taught against the truth of God’s Word, how to develop a life-giving connection with God, and the path to finding clear direction from the Holy Spirit.

God has a plan and a purpose for every man. Yet, as spiritual men in a secular world, our course is not smooth sailing, but an obstacle course! Over the next 13 days, we look at the spiritual training necessary for the course set before us—whether you're starting out as a new disciple or trying to regain traction as an already faithful follower.

In a world full of distractions and competing agendas, let us focus on Him, hearing His voice, seeking His kingdom, and believing we will experience more of His presence and power.

The church at Corinth was plagued by internal division and sinful derision. Paul provides the only solution potent enough for their disunity and spiritual disruptions: “Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 1:10). 1 Corinthians reminds us that by focusing on Jesus and His glorious resurrection, we too will “be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the word of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58).

In part four of a five-part, verse-by-verse journey through the Book of 1 Corinthians, we'll dive into chapters 10–13.

The Holy Spirit, is the breath of God. One with the Father and the Son. This plan is invitation to know the Holy Spirit deeper, rest in His presence and walk in His power. It's invitation to Breathe in the Holy Spirit.

Let’s explore how we can influence the culture with the truth of God’s word through 1 and 2 Corinthians! These two letters are a powerful message from the Apostle Paul to a church that was passionate about its mission but needed direction to remain true to its Christian faith and doctrines. Those priorities make his letters important teaching for every Christian.
