Do you ever find that it can be lonely living as a believer? For thousands of years, God’s people have had to balance living out their faith while being surrounded by those who do not follow God. Sometimes, they may even live among people who are hostile toward God’s people. This four-week devotional is meant to address this very feeling. In Esther: The Time is Now, you will spend time getting to know a cast of people, including Esther and Mordecai. As Jewish people in the Persian Kingdom, they deal with what it means to be God’s people in the midst of a culture that does not honor or worship God. We are continually faced with the same question that Mordecai asked Esther: What if you are meant for a time such as this? The answer is that we are made for such a time. And the time? The Time is Now.

Have you ever struggled to know what God wanted you to do in any given situation? Whether you’ve just given your life to Jesus or you’ve been following Him for years, living like He wants us to isn’t always as clear or easy as we’d like it to be. This four-week devotional will confront this very problem. James: The Walk of Faith will take on one of the biggest questions that all believers ask every day, “How should my faith in Jesus change the way I deal with ______?” Whether it’s sin & temptation, trials, wisdom, speech, money & possessions, time, or just the people around us, Jesus has a plan for how we should walk with Him. Our faith in Him, over time, should move us to live and look more like Him day after day. A relationship with Jesus is a lifelong journey, and in his short letter, James shows us how Jesus’ life and teachings should forever change the way we walk with Him through our lives.

If someone asked you to tell them who Jesus was and what His mission on Earth was, what would you say? The answers to these questions have an eternal significance. John knew that, and that’s why he wrote his account of Jesus’ life. This four-week devotional will help you reflect on the purpose behind Jesus’ life, ministry, miracles, teachings, and divine claims. John: The Way, The Truth, The Life will come alongside this disciple of Jesus to help illuminate the truth that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. By reading and praying through the Gospel of John, you will have the opportunity to learn what Jesus came to do, why He came to do it, and how He calls us to live as His followers. John goes to great lengths to show us that the only place we can find true, everlasting life is in the Light of the world, the Lamb of God, the Good Shepherd, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
