Come and Return

What is Biblical reconciliation, and why do we need it? In this short 3-day devotional, you will learn what reconciliation truly means. As God's people, we have a responsibility to stand out and stand in the gap, bridging the way for people to come back to their Creator.

RECONCILIATION

God used Hosea to powerfully communicate His anguish towards the nation of Israel due to their continued idol worship. Hosea’s life and ministry show both the heart-breaking cost of idolatry as well as the lengths to which God will go to redeem His sinful people back to Him. This book reminds us that despite our sinful idolatry, God is always faithful.

Reflect on the books of the Minor Prophets through powerfully crafted images and helpful questions to reflect upon.

Seeing the Minor Prophets

Living in the catastrophic final days of the northern kingdom, Hosea prophesies to the people with God’s warnings of rebellion and His promises of blessing for repentance. Hosea’s marriage and showing forgiveness to his adulterous wife Gomer point us to one ironclad assurance in Jesus Christ: God remains faithful even when we are not. God is ready to forgive the moment we run back to him.

Whether you're approaching Pentecost or simply seeking renewal, this journey of intentional, Spirit-led prayer is valuable in every season. Come hungry. Come expectant. Come, Holy Spirit.

Bible Yearly Plan for May

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful, wisdom-packed devotional. God will finish what He has started in You. He will revive and restore what the enemy has stolen. The years of delay, decay, and destruction — God is faithful to restore what the locust, the cankerworm, the caterpillar, and the palmerworm has stolen. God is in control. Let God lead your heart as you read this timely message.

Revival

Joel’s prophecy, “The day of the Lord,” is like a double-edged sword; it’s about God’s wrath to the disobedient and God’s salvation to the obedient. It speaks of an imminent judgment of Judah and an eschatological consummation of God’s Kingdom in Jesus’ second coming. Amidst his horrific warnings, Joel comforts God’s people with this promise, “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Amos is all about Jesus! This 4-day plan will walk you through the book of Amos by reading just a chapter or two a day. Each day is accompanied by a short devotional and video that explains what’s happening and shows you how each part of the story points to Jesus and his Gospel.

Jesus in All of Amos - A Video Devotional

God sent Amos, a southern peasant, to prophesy to the prosperous yet unscrupulous northern kingdom. Instead of being God’s chosen people to bless others, Israel embraced injustice, hypocrisy, and materialism. As a result of God’s judgment, the nation perished during the Assyrian invasion in the late 8th century. The book’s message is straightforward: Christians are chosen not only for the privilege but also for the responsibility to bless the needy.

Justice: A Study in Amos

Join us as we dive into our Summer Bible Project where we will be reading through the Minor Prophets. 

Summer Bible Project- the Minor Prophets

Amos is often called a prophet of doom. When you begin to read his prophecy, it doesn’t take long to realize that nickname fits. On the surface, his prophecy doesn’t sound like a happy formula for the good life. However, every condemnation he gives serves as an invitation, a cry for us to “seek God and live” (Amos 5:4). This kind of living will bring us peace and true prosperity. 

Amos: An Invitation to the Good Life

Discover how the prophet Amos, a simple man, was used by God to confront false worship and injustice. Let us together explore the unlikely calling of Amos and the timeless lessons about true worship of God and the pursuit of divine justice.
