Purpose

This reading plan includes five daily devotions based on Ben Stuart’s book Rest and War. The spiritual life can feel like it’s a struggle because it is! The pursuit of intimacy with God occurs within the context of adversity. And yet with struggle can come progress if we learn to struggle well.

Rest and War: Rhythms of a Well-Fought Life

The “You Changed My Name" 5-Day Devotional walks us through stories of sinners and the moments when the Lord saved them. He takes the ones who seem too far gone in their shame and grief, and graciously restores them with words of love and encouragement. - Matthew West

"You Changed My Name" 5-Day Devotional by Matthew West

God often calls on unlikely candidates to fulfill His purposes. If you think God can’t use you, think again. If you feel you’re not qualified, reevaluate. This five-day plan will show you that God can use YOU to fulfill any purpose He chooses. The good news is that He'll equip, empower, and refine you along the way, and never abandon you. Congratulations! You're hired to do God's calling!

(Un)Qualified to Do God's Calling

Who doesn’t love a fresh start? A new beginning? An opportunity to turn the page and start again with a clean slate? If that sounds good to you, you will enjoy working through our 5-day ‘New Year’ devotional. Designed to help you start strong, we pray that you can develop ideas and habits that will enrich your new year.  

Into the New

When we know WHO we are and WHY we are valuable, we have a strong sense of purpose. Our true sense of self can only come from God. In this devotional based on his book Think This Not That, Dr. Josh Axe helps readers build their identities on the one true rock rather than the shifting sand of culture and experience.

Build Your Identity on the Rock of God by Dr. Josh Axe

In this plan, we will talk about being grateful, not just for our blessings, but for Christ being manifested in us. There are several things that we should be grateful in this regard, for example, we have the mind of Christ, the faith of the Son of God, the life of the Son, and the Spirit of the Son.

Christ Manifested in Us—Part 1

To understand what it truly means to be known by God, we must first learn to abide in His presence. It’s there, in His presence, we begin to see ourselves as Jesus sees us and find our identity in Him, so we can lean into His calling for our lives, using the gifts He's woven in us, in every season of our lives. Knowing Jesus gives us the confidence and boldness to walk fully in what He has called us to. 

Be Known

So often we are following the Lord Jesus, but there are significant parts of our lives that hinders the Holy Spirit to work in our lives.

What Jesus Said About Total Surrender and Death to Self

Every Christian generation since the early church has wondered, "When will Jesus return to earth?" God hasn’t revealed that knowledge, but the fact is the return of Christ could be any day. This 7-day reading plan from Pastor Jeff Schreve will encourage you and guide your heart to Christ, helping you live on mission, ready for the last days – whenever they come.
