New Testament Books

Join us as we start the year reading through the Gospels together! This 21-day devotional, written by the pastors and staff of Oasis LA, invites you to draw closer to Jesus through the reflection of His life, ministry and teachings. Each day includes a Scripture reading, a short interpretation from one of our leaders, and a practical step to live out Jesus’ way in daily life. Our prayer is that these three weeks renew your focus and inspire your faith in a fresh and personal way.

21 Days in the Gospels

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

This three-day devotional invites believers into a bold, faith-filled journey of spiritual authority grounded in Scripture and daily practice. It begins with confession, revealing how declaring Jesus as Lord brings forgiveness, healing, and realignment with God’s truth. It then explores the authority of binding and loosing, teaching believers how to partner with heaven to shut down what opposes God’s will and release His promises with confidence. The journey concludes with the power of agreement, showing how unity in prayer unlocks God’s presence and power, equipping believers to live aligned, pray boldly, and walk in freedom and authority.

Keys to the Kingdom

In Matthew 18:3 NIV, Jesus says, "Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." What did He mean? This one-week plan covers seven aspects of childlike faith we should aspire to. 

Don’t Be a Child! Be Like a Child - 7 Days of Exploring Childlike Faith

God often reveals Himself when we least expect it. After fleeing Egypt following an act of murder, Moses marries a woman named Zipporah and begins working for her father, Jethro, tending his sheep. During an ordinary workday, God miraculously appears to Moses through a burning bush and sets him on a path that would ultimately transform human history. In the “Holy Ground” Bible study, we’re going to take a closer look at four questions Moses asks in Exodus 3:1–4:17 and develop a deeper understanding of God’s character, our identity and the purpose He has called us to!

Holy Ground

Holy Week - Follow the Final Steps of Jesus

Jesus taught about money and why it matters so much to our walk with him. Money is not just a resource; it reveals what we trust, who we serve, and how we live. As we learn about stewardship, tithing, and generosity, we will discover how following Jesus transforms our hearts and shapes the way we live.

Money Matters

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

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

Over the next 21 days, we’re going on a journey through the words Jesus taught us to pray in Matthew 6. The Lord’s Prayer is an invitation to be changed from the inside out. As we fast and pray together, each daily devotional will help us draw closer to God, grow in identity, realign with his kingdom, trust him for provision, and walk in wholeness.

Our Father...

In the fifth and final part of this verse-by-verse breakdown of the Gospel of Matthew, we'll work our way through Matthew 21-28, exploring the final week of Jesus' life, His death, resurrection, and ascension to Heaven.



Matthew 21-28: Culmination of the Kingdom

This plan walks through the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9–13, where Jesus teaches us how to pray.

The Lord's Prayer (The Model Prayer)

In this 8-day journey through the Beatitudes, you’ll discover how humility, mercy, and peacemaking (and more) reshape your priorities around God’s kingdom. Forget the pressure of keeping perfect resolutions — this study helps you start the year grounded in grace. Each day leads you to a different beatitude, with space to reflect and pray, helping to deepen your intimacy with Jesus.

8 Resolutions Jesus Would Be Happy With

BibleProject designed this plan to help individuals and groups reflect upon Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Over the course of 10 days, you will read Matthew 5-7 and explore topics like the good life, worry, conflict, love for enemies, and more. Each day includes a video from our Sermon on the Mount series, reflection questions, and a fresh biblical translation from the BibleProject Scholarship team. Follow this plan to better understand and engage with Jesus’ revolutionary teachings.

BibleProject | Sermon on the Mount

Matthew, one of Jesus’ inner circle, was inspired by God to write one of the four biographies about Jesus, and it can change your life. From the ultimate message on Christian living (Sermon on the Mount) to the invitation to find rest in Jesus, from the parables to understand God and grace to the final week of Jesus’ life, Matthew offers us a Jesus Christ Crash Course.

Jesus Christ Crash Course (Part 2)

Jesus healed people in many ways, and He is still bringing healing today. This 30-day plan explores His healing moments in Matthew, reminding us what they meant then and what they mean now. Whether you are walking through physical struggles, emotional pain, or spiritual battles, you are invited to draw near to Him and discover that healing may look different, but His presence and love remain the same.  

Matthew: Healing in His Presence

This 23-day plan will walk you through the book of Matthew by reading a short passage every day. Each day is accompanied by a short video that explains what you're reading and how it's all about Jesus. In this plan, you'll learn how Jesus fulfills the promises hidden in the Old Testament and provides new life and hope in his life, death, and resurrection.

Matthew: New Life in Jesus | Video Devotional

Jesus emphasized the importance of the faith of people in enabling God to work in great power. But what does faith-filled prayer that moves mountains look like? There are many misconceptions around the place. This plan takes you through seven of Jesus' statements on faith in the Gospel of Matthew and draws out a clear picture of mountain-moving faith that will both encourage and challenge you. 

Mountain Moving Faith and Prayer

When anxiety attacks, what should be our response? As we continue our trek through the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us the answer in the conclusion of chapter 6: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33 ESV). In “Seek First”, we’re going to walk through Matthew 6:25–7:11 and take a closer look at four things we’re often tempted to pursue before Jesus. Prayerfully, as we study God’s Word together, our worry will be replaced with a desire to seek Him first!

Seek First

Join us for 7 days of exploring the Lord's Prayer. Each day focuses on a different part of this simple but powerful prayer, helping you understand its meaning and apply it to your daily life. Through thoughtful reflections and practical application, you'll discover how these ancient words can transform your prayer life and deepen your relationship with God.

Living Changed: The Lord’s Prayer

Matthew’s Gospel opens the New Testament by brilliantly introducing the culmination of the entire Old Testament story. After thousands of years and dozens of generations, Jesus had come “to save his people from their sins” (Mathew 1:21). Matthew focuses on Jesus as King of Kings, who had come to reign on the throne of David forever. 

Christ as King: A Study in Matthew

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.

At least once in your life, you’ve heard the story of the widow’s offering. The real question is: Have you really?

The Treasure Trove of Generous Giving

Who is Jesus? Philosophy, literature, art, politics -- all of them have been profoundly impacted by the life and teaching of this one man. And Christians call him Savior -- the Son of God.

The Gospel of Mark (Part Two)

As the ministry grows, Jesus issues his next call: “‘Come, follow me’ Jesus said, ‘and I will make you fishers of men.’” (Mark 1:17)

It is the third call. It is made to those he has already called: “Come and see” and “Follow Me.” This third call is to come closer to Jesus, to draw near enough so he can now teach you how you can be a part of the process of making disciples.

In this final phase of leadership development, Jesus’ style is radical and it flies in the face of many of the popular beliefs of leadership at the time. Get ready to see leadership Jesus-style. During this phase Jesus reveals to his committed core of disciples the Father’s master plan for reaching the world.

The Life of Jesus Pt. 5 – Multiplying Leaders

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

Holy Week

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel behind if we’re not constantly moving. We’re pressured to meet milestones quickly, whether it is via our career choices, relationships, or purpose. We also continuously believe we are behind, which causes us to build fast and desire immediate results. But what if God invites us to a slower, more intentional pace? 

A Slower Life is a seven-day journey that helps us to pause, reflect, and walk with God at His pace. 

A Slower Life

Every Longing Heart

Luke’s detailed investigation of the life of Jesus is good news for those of us who aren’t the best, the brightest, the strongest, or the holiest. His gospel reminds us that Jesus offers joy to the financially poor, the socially marginalized, and the spiritually broken.  Mary from Nazareth, third-shift shepherds, and notorious tax collectors all found hope and salvation in Jesus. By reading Luke’s gospel, we can too.

HEAL - God's Heart for Healing in Luke

Over the centuries, millions have been stirred by Christ’s lessons on the Law of Love, the Golden Rule, forgiving one’s enemies, and bearing good fruit.

In this 9-day plan, we learn how they can lead to a transformation that can only be accomplished by Jesus Himself.

Prepare Him Room: The Story of Jesus in Luke

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.
