- 49One New ThingThe kind of diversity the early church experienced was previously impossible—like stuck with like, and kind with kind. But through Christ, every tribe, tongue, and nation became one people, with one pursuit, for the one kingdom.
- 50For the Life of the NationsThrough the sacrifice of one, life was brought to the many. Through the sacrifice of many, life will be brought to the nations.
- 51Advent of HopeThe people walking in darkness have seen a great light. A light has dawned in the land of darkness. Now, as children of the light, we hold fast to the confession of our hope as we await His second advent.
- 52Advent of PeaceAfter months of silence, Zachariah, only able to listen, sees and hears the plan of God unfolding before his eyes. After centuries of silence, God’s people were about to experience the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophets. Good news pierced the silence. Light invaded the darkness. Peace had ...
- 53Advent of JoyIn the midst of a broken world comes a thrill of hope, a song of praise, and a resilient joy the world can’t explain, that suffering can’t steal, that circumstances can’t crush.
- 54Advent of LoveWe are born with the need to be loved—a need we never outgrow. We either seek to satisfy that need rightly, or we distort it disastrously. The advent of Christ is true, perfect, sustaining love coming for all people.
- 55Wealth, War, and PeaceNight will be no more; people will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light, and they will reign forever and ever.
- 56A PeopleIn 2023, the Surgeon General of the United States rolled out a new warning saying that if major changes are not made, we will splinter as a society. The loneliness epidemic is now upon us. We need each other more than ever. God made us for belonging.
- 57A PlaceGod is involved in the “where” of our lives. He has appointed the times and boundaries for us all. There is a reason we live where we live and work where we work. He built us to belong and has called us to a place.
- 58A PurposeYou are not the main character in this story, but you have a vital role to play. There are no seat fillers at the table of God. He has given us a purpose and a part to play. He does not need us, but He wants us. So we show up, seated confidently, and live out the calling on our lives.
- 59Walking in the LightThe Apostle John is elderly and living in Ephesus. A new wave of false doctrine is slamming into the church. He writes this letter as eyewitness testimony, calling believers to walk in the light, and reminding them of the certainty of Christ.
- 60Who Do You Love?In a world of false teaching and deception, we must cling to the anointing of the Holy Spirit, remain in Christ, and love our brothers and sisters.
- 61Holding Fast to ChristThis is the final hour, and many antichrists are here or have come. So we hold fast to Christ and call on the Holy Spirit for power, courage, and an overflow of sustaining joy until the end.
- 62Children of GodGod loves us so much that He calls us His own children. One day, we will see Christ in all of His glory and be made like Him. With this hope in mind, we purify ourselves until His return.
- 63Love over FearChristian, test what you believe, ensuring it aligns with the gospel of Christ. Embrace this lineage of faith. Lay aside fear and dread. For God is love and He loves us. Now go and love others in the same way.
- 64Faith that OvercomesTo love God is to keep His commands. And His commands are not a burden, but an easy yoke. We love God and those born of God. We hold fast to our confession of faith, knowing that it is this faith that overcomes the world.
- 65That You May KnowThe finished work of Jesus provides light in the darkness, assurance through doubt, and an anchor through the storms. We, who are in God, have communion with Him, and this communion leads to confidence.
- 66The Good ShepherdJesus, the Good Shepherd, tended His flock and sought out His lost ones at the expense of His reputation and, ultimately, His death. He will stop at nothing to care for His people.
- 67No BarriersThere are obstacles to evangelism everywhere—digital noise, politics, scandal, cultural Christianity. We seek to be like the men in Mark 2, who saw a brother in need and did whatever it took to get him to the feet of Jesus. Lord, stir us to be this bold.
- 68Below the LineThe anxiety of evangelism fades when we evangelize. We move conversations from the surface to serious matters, and ultimately to the spiritual. We explain the gospel, we let the Spirit move in power, and we live out our faith by example that people may be drawn in and saved.
- 69Resurrection LifeYou have been buried with Him by baptism, walking now in a resurrected life, so set your minds on things above. Lift your earthly head to Christ and the kingdom that is coming.
- 70Single-MindedHead knowledge does not lead to revival. It makes great kindling. It makes for a hoisted and ready sail. But we ask the Spirit of the Living God to be the fire and the wind. With all our efforts wholly dependent on Him, we prepare to set aside three days as a sacred assembly to the Lord.
- 71Fear of GodHow might we stand in His holy place? We lay down idols. We remove any hindrance between God and us. We hate our sin and fear God. Give us clean hands and pure hearts, O Lord.
- 72Affection & ConfidencePaul begins his letter to the Philippians with deep gratitude, joy, and affection. He is confident that God will finish the good work He has started there among them. As partners in the gospel, we seek to grow in our affection for Christ and for each other and to live our lives with confidence th...
