New Testament Books

The Beatitudes are not merely inspiring words, but the inner path that Jesus outlines for living according to the Kingdom of God. They aim first and foremost at transforming the heart before any visible action. Jesus reveals the character and attitudes that He forms: humility, repentance, gentleness, justice, mercy, purity, peace, and faithfulness. This path requires truth, dependence on God, and renunciation of pride. True blessing comes from a heart aligned with God. This reading plan invites us to a gradual inner transformation by the Holy Spirit. 

The Beatitudes: The Path of the Heart According to Jesus - Jean-Luc Trachsel

Over the next 7 days, explore The Lord's Prayer. The disciples saw Jesus' prayer life alive, vital and centred on the Father. They asked Him to teach them how to pray. As followers of Jesus in the 21st century, we can ask the same: 
Jesus, teach us to pray. 

Teach Us to Pray

Every year, we gather together to pray and fast so that we can hear from God and follow what He says. As followers of Christ, may we faithfully bring the gospel to the nations in obedience to the Great Commission. This family devotional is designed to be used by parents with children from ages two to twelve.

The Mission | Midyear Prayer and Fasting Family Devotional 2026

Jesus was intentional with his parables; the synoptic gospels, which give us an overview, present the parable of the sower, the wheat and the weeds, the mustard seed, and the yeast as a whole invitation to grow toward a full life that is given to others.

The Soil, the Seed, the Tree, and the Yeast

If walls could talk or cities had voices, what would the Bible’s ancient sites say about Jesus and your life following Him? Come along on a creative journey through the perspectives of various Bible sites, as “they” describe their encounters with the God of Israel and His Messiah. Can you guess each site before the reveal at the end of these devotions?

If Walls Could Talk

This is a seven-day video series which goes verse-by-verse through The Lord’s Prayer. Watch a short, meditative teaching, then engage with reflection questions and prayer prompts throughout the day. It is designed to deepen your understanding of this beautiful passage of scripture and enrich your daily prayer life. 

Our Father in Heaven - a Week in the Lord's Prayer

The people kept asking Jesus for a sign, even after seeing Him heal, deliver, raise the dead, and forgive sins. Still, they wanted more. Jesus refused to perform on demand. Instead, He pointed to the sign that would matter most: Jonah. Three days. A tomb. An empty grave. This study walks through Matthew 12:38–45 and asks a hard question: have we been chasing experiences when God has already given us the resurrection? Three days. One Christ. The only sign we will ever need.

Be challenged. Be stirred. Be mature. Be inspired.

Wisdom & Wonder: A 3-Day Devotional With Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell

Many Christians trade their good portion in Christ for their good performance. They serve God while struggling to enjoy God. In Luke 10:38-42, Jesus steps into the tension between submission and service. This seven-day devotional challenges how we think about discipleship, worship, and ministry, and calls us into joyful surrender.

The Good Portion

Jesus calls us to make disciples, yet starting spiritual conversations can feel intimidating. This devotional explores how prayer becomes the foundation for sharing our faith with confidence and compassion. By beginning with prayer, we learn to meet people where they are and trust God to work in their hearts. Prayer helps others feel seen, heard, and loved, releases burdens we cannot carry alone, and aligns our hearts with God’s will. Discover how prayer can open doors, strengthen obedience, and draw others closer to Jesus.

BibleProject | Sermon on the Mount

Who is Jesus? This is the ultimate question. Because if Jesus really is who He said He is, it changes everything. But if Jesus is not who He said He is, it also changes everything. Join us in the final part of our journey through the Gospel of Matthew as we discover the answer to this ultimate question.


Who Is Jesus? Part 4

Through real-life stories of transformation, this four-day devotional will challenge and inspire you to put your faith into action.

Join us as we explore how to walk in obedience, trust our Good Shepherd and serve with love and purpose — unto Jesus.

Unto Jesus: Serving With Love and Purpose

As we enter the season of Lent, the 40 days of spiritual preparation leading up to Easter, let's sit with Jesus on the mountainside and listen with open hearts to His teaching found in Matthew chapters 5-7.

Preparing Your Heart for Lent and Easter With the Sermon on the Mount

With more than fifty citations from the Old Testament, Matthew stands in the gap to unfold the grand drape of the New Testament stage, proclaiming that all messianic prophecies in the past have now been fulfilled in Jesus. The Kingdom of God will now be extended through the building of Christ’s church, and the promise to make Abraham’s descendants numerous will now be fulfilled through the Great Commission.

Through the Bible: Matthew

This phase in Jesus’ life is focused on leadership development. As the movement continues to grow, Jesus begins to hand-select from his disciples a few to be servant leaders of the movement. After a full night of prayer, consulting with his Father, Jesus appoints twelve men who will begin their apprenticeship as leaders and will eventually become the leaders of the movement.

The Life of Jesus Pt. 4 – Developing Leaders

What did Jesus mean when he said, "Seek first the Kingdom of God"? Explore these famous words of Jesus found in Matthew 6:33, and consider his way of valuing love and life more than status and wealth. Jesus never minimizes physical needs, but he helps us rethink the things we often love most.

BibleProject | How to Seek First the Kingdom

If we want an effective prayer life, we must pray like Jesus. The disciples asked Jesus how to pray because His prayers differed from anything else they had seen. By looking at the sermon on the mount, we can learn how to bolster our prayer life and develop a deeper intimacy with God.

Praying Like Jesus

This simple plan will lead you through the Gospel According to Matthew from beginning to end.

Matthew

Jesus ended the Sermon on the Mount with a stark choice: build your life on the rock or on the sand. The difference isn't what you know but what you do with what you know. Over five days, discover how the application of God's Word brings power, authority, and stability when life's storms come. This plan focuses on progress and obedience, not perfection.

Foundations - Building on the Rock

The Gospel of Matthew

Who is Jesus? This is the ultimate question. Because if Jesus really is who He said He is, it changes everything. But if Jesus is not who He said He is, it also changes everything. Join us in part two of our journey through the Gospel of Matthew to continue to discover the answer to this ultimate question.

Who Is Jesus? Part 2

A journey through the Sermon on the Mount. Looking at its bold,
revolutionary, and clear declaration of God’s plan for Humanity.

The Kings Speech: A Devotional on the Sermon on the Mount

Some of them are unnamed. Some appear in a single verse. None of them knew their story would matter so much. Lightbearers traces twelve women at the turning points of God's story and asks what it looks like to carry His Word faithfully into the people and places he has given you, so that others may see and glorify your Father in heaven. Based on Matthew 5:14-16 and 1 John 1:5, this 14-day plan is for every woman who holds the completed Word of God and is ready to stop hiding it.


Women as Lightbearers

We have already reflected on how we should pray and we have already talked about the Lord's demands. Now, let’s talk about the Servant’s Petitions. The first part of the Lord’s Prayer focuses on the Lord God. In the second part, beginning with "give us this day our daily bread," the prayer takes a turn and begins to address topics such as hunger, evil, temptation, and other issues. Shall we talk about that?
Edilaney, from Brazil!!!

4 - LORD'S PRAYER - the Servant's Petitions

Meet Jesus in the Gospel of Mark! This children’s reading plan takes you on an adventure through the Gospel of Mark where you will learn who Jesus is, what He did, and how much He loves people. Each day we discover more about Jesus.

Meeting Jesus in the Book of Mark

In a world that celebrates status, recognition and influence, Jesus offers a radically different definition of greatness. When his disciples argued about who was the greatest, Jesus taught them that true greatness is found not in position or power, but in humble service. Over three days, we will explore greatness desired, greatness defined, and greatness demonstrated.


True Greatness

The Gospel of Jesus Christ has shaped Western civilisation and impacted every culture in the world for good. It countered the classical world's tolerance of misogyny, infanticide, and slavery. The Gospel spread the Christian values of equality, dignity, and individual rights. The freedom we deem normative today is the fruit of generations of Christian mission, education, and activism.
Mark shows Jesus as the one who redeemed the world from sin and Satan. He rules over death and disease, nature and nations, culture and customs. His mission is urgent, and his power unchallenged. Christ is the Victorious Son of God.



The Gospel of Mark - Victorious in Jesus

Christians around the world celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on Easter. Join Shawn Craig (of Phillips Craig and Dean) and Josiah Serra as we prepare for Resurrection Sunday by reading Mark's gospel. Whether you are new to faith or a long-term Christian, we need good news! 

40 DAYS in the GOSPEL 

Jesus begins his earthly ministry when he is about thirty years old (Luke 3:23). We call this phase “Ministry Foundations.” It lasts about a year and a half. During this time, Jesus will issue two calls. To unbelievers, he says, “Come and see.” To believers, he says, “Follow me” (John 1:39-40).

The Life of Jesus Pt. 2 – Ministry Foundations

Reading the Bible in Historical Sequence Part 10

It’s easy to see a story through our own lens and miss the
bigger picture.
That’s exactly what happened in the days leading up to Jesus’s
death. His followers, his critics, and the crowds all had their own
interpretations of the events unfolding before them—but Jesus
knew something they didn’t.
In Misunderstandings of Easter, a five-day reading plan, we’ll
uncover what they missed and how understanding it can change
the way we see Easter today.

Mark uses the word “immediately” over forty times in his Gospel, emphasizing the intentional nature of Jesus’ ministry. The quick succession of healings and miracles shows that Jesus “came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:44). Through Mark’s Gospel, we are reminded that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes not through selfish ambition, but by being the servant of all.

Walking With Jesus: A 7-Day Journey Through Luke

The Gospel of Luke will not let you forget who is missing from the room. It is the most deliberately composed Gospel, and the most insistent that the good news is for exactly the people who were told it wasn’t. Over seven days, this plan traces what makes Luke distinct: its attention to the excluded, its economic demands, its portrait of a God who runs, its table set for the wrong people, and the Emmaus road where the risen Jesus walks alongside people who have stopped believing — and who recognize him in the breaking of bread.

LUKE EXPLAINED

In Luke 8, Jesus tells the Parable of the Sower, where seeds are scattered across different kinds of soil.

As you journey through this plan, ask God to help you sow seeds of faith with compassion, courage, and trust in Him for the growth.

In this 5-day plan, we will discover that there were actually two lost sons: one who sought freedom far from the father, and another who tried to earn his love through performance. In the end, we will see the scandal of grace: a Father who runs toward both with a love that defies all logic.

The Scandal of Grace: The Two Lost Sons

In Luke 15, Jesus tells the story of a woman who searches carefully for a lost coin until she finds it. This parable reveals God’s heart for those who are lost and His joy when restoration comes.

Luke’s Gospel is a beautiful and powerful telling of the life of Jesus. Luke focuses on Jesus as the Son of Man, the foretold Messiah who came to “seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). This Gospel shows us the “Upside-Down Kingdom” - that God uses what the world deems foolish and weak to shame the wise and strong.
