Ephesians 4:8 says that when Jesus ascended to Heaven, He gave gifts to men. These gifts are the ministry gifts of the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher. Each one has a specific function and is necessary in building up the Body of Christ. This plan focuses on the vital but often misunderstood roles of the apostle and the prophet; what they are and what their purpose is.

Culture has changed. Church beliefs shouldn’t. It’s each for our culture of individuality and innovation to shape the way we think about the church.

ShofarBand is a South African worship and songwriting collective. In January 2024, we released our live album, Welcome Home. This plan is based on those songs, telling the story of a God who is both transcendent and intimate, both high above and near to us.

God made us for community. We were not made to be alone. When we invite Jesus into our lives and receive His Spirit, He draws us into something bigger than ourselves. Church community can be hard and it can be messy, but when people of different backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities come together in one Spirit, it brings glory to God in a way that nothing else can.

In “Triumph over Trials,” we will study the books of First and Second Peter. These letters remain as relevant today as when Peter first wrote them and provide an invaluable compass for navigating life in these challenging times.

Motherhood is a calling! In the struggles of motherhood, we are given opportunities to be molded into Christ’s image and reflect His character to those around us. In the gift of motherhood, we have the incredible privilege to shape, nurture, and love our children in a way that reflects the heart of God. Over the next 14 days we will deepen our understanding of motherhood through God's Word.

The book of 1st Peter is candid about the struggles we face, but unapologetic about the hope and truth of Jesus. Walk through 1st Peter with this reading plan because the struggle is real! (We recommend using The Message (MSG) translation.)

It only has two chapters and is about rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem, which is not a major topic of interest for present-day Christians.
