Matiwo 19:30

We all have things we treasure like relationships, possessions, and achievements. And while these things bring us satisfaction and joy, the orientation of our lives around these things alone can leave us craving something deeper—ultimate fulfillment. Let’s discover what scripture has to say about the pursuit of treasure and what ultimately can satisfy our desires, both now and into eternity.

The world is full of good and beautiful things: breathtaking creation, delicious food, exciting adventures, and kind-hearted people. Scripture reminds us that God delights in giving good and perfect gifts to his children, and yet, how often do we settle for partial goodness instead of the fullness God has to offer? In this reading plan, let’s discover what Scripture has to say about the temptation we all face to try and satisfy ourselves with God’s good gifts instead of God himself.

How can the fruit of the spirit win the battle against the sins of my flesh? This four-day reading plan shows the battles of JOY versus jealousy, greed, self-pity, and ungratefulness. Kristi Krauss uses the fruit of the spirit found in Galatians 5 as a guide to spur us into action to become champions of JOY in our daily lives.

Many Christians feel the frustration of persistent sin, undesirable circumstances, and the stubborn feeling of having fallen behind. The doubts that arise from these experiences find their Gospel answer in Romans 8:1: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Remind yourself of the far-reaching implications of this radical promise for your life now and in eternity.
