Devotions

At the center of the Christmas story is the birth of Jesus, the hope of the world. Over two thousand years ago, in a little humble town under a sky illuminated by a guiding star, the long-awaited Messiah, the Son of God and the Savior of the world, finally arrived. Praised by angel choirs and witnessed by lowly shepherds, this newborn babe lying in a manger was the fulfillment of ancient prophecies. But Jesus’ arrival was so much more than just a historical event. The birth of Jesus, the Christ, changed everything. Hope was born. A hope echoing through all eternity. A hope that rings in our hearts still today. A hope that’s the song of our soul. 

A Song of Hope [DOWNLOADABLE VERSION] is a 10-day Christmas and Advent devotional that explores hope’s long-awaited arrival by journeying daily through the narrative of Scripture and reflecting on the events leading up to and following Jesus’ birth.

Help your students experience this Christmas season with A Song of Hope in their hearts, remembering and reflecting on the greatest gift ever given—the gift of hope found in the birth of a Savior.

The story of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection is paramount to the Christian faith. In Scripture, we have four different accounts, all unique in their portrayal of God with us, Immanuel. These four witnesses are going to be our guide this Easter, as we look at who Jesus was to each of them, why our own view of Jesus is important, and how incredible the Gospel of Jesus Christ really is.

In the three weeks leading into Easter, students will have their viewpoint of Christ expanded with Witness: A 21-Day Easter Devotional [Downloadable Version]. As they journey through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, they will see that Jesus is far from one-dimensional. Don’t let your students miss out on this wonderful opportunity to have a better understanding of each of the Gospel writers, and also develop their own witness to the power of Jesus in their lives!

In this five-day devotional, your students will experience the progression to the Cross. Beginning with Matthew’s view of Palm Sunday, readers will spend each day learning more about the path that Jesus walked on His way to one of, if not THE, most important moments in our Christian faith. From each of the four witnesses, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, we will see their accounts of what happened and why. The Easter story is made up of many moments, and with Witness: A 5-Day Student Devotional, you and your students can explore them through the eyes of the gospel writers!

Easter Sunday should be one of the best celebrations of the year! But sometimes, it’s easy to get into a routine when it comes to Easter and forget what we're actually celebrating. We usually do a great job of celebrating Jesus coming back to life, but sometimes, we don’t spend too much time on what led up to that point. It’s easy to brush past the sadness that this joy comes from because it’s uncomfortable and upsetting. By going through Awaken: A 10-Day Kids & Family Devotional with your child, you can be sure they will be awakened to a fresh perspective on the gravity of all the Easter story holds. Even though the days leading up to Easter can be sad, heavy, and dark, you and your child will learn how to reflect on these things while still being able to rejoice that Easter Sunday always comes! 

Easter Sunday should be one of the most joyful days of the year for anyone who has given their life to Jesus. Christ’s resurrection deserves a grand celebration, and we, as believers, usually do a great job of celebrating! However, we can sometimes rush to rejoice and leave out the sadness, darkness, pain, and suffering that this joy comes from. Without reflecting on what led to Easter Sunday, we’re not getting the full picture of what Jesus has done for us through His life, death, and resurrection.

But what if your students could be awakened anew to the reality of all that Jesus has done for them? With Awaken: A 10-Day Easter Devotional, your students will be equipped to process through the gravity and solemnity of the Easter story. Even though the days leading up to Easter are dark and unsettling, your students will be encouraged to cling to the fact that Christ’s light shines even in the face of death. Easter Sunday always comes! 

Alive Again is a dynamic 10-day devotional that gives students short, but in-depth daily readings to help them get the most out the days leading up to Easter. Students will follow Jesus through the Passion Week, learning what He did and why He did it.
