The Narrow and Everlasting Way
Lenten Devotional Guide, 2024
The narrow and everlasting way. Jesus tells us it is not easy, but in it there is life. And this life is the heart of this Lenten guide — a journey to the center virtues that Christ embodied so perfectly during his earthly ministry.
This guide looks at seven virtues — charity, patience, temperance, chastity, generosity, diligence, and humility — and their corresponding sinful extremes that we so often fall towards. Through the work of the Spirit in our lives, the goal is to find our way back to the center of each of these virtues – the narrow and everlasting way, the way of hope, the way to life, and the way of Christ.
Abound – Reflections on Progress & Joy from Paul’s Letter to the Philippians
Summer Devotional Guide, 2023
There are few books in the Bible that capture the spirit of summer quite like Paul’s letter to the Philippians. The letter is effervescent in its joy, shining from its pages as Paul shares his heart with the young church he had helped found only a few years prior. Throughout the letter, his words seem to tumble forward over themselves, as if barely able to keep pace with his joy. And it is this joy, and this pressing forward, around which we chose to center our reflections for this summer guide.
As Paul could write to the Philippians, it is our prayer “that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God” (Philippians 1 : 9 – 11 ESV).
For My Sake
Lenten Devotional Guide, 2023
Forty lashes minus one. The punishment the Law prescribed, and possibly, the very beating Jesus endured before his crucifixion.
This Lenten Devotional Guide is a guide of repentance, with thirty-nine days of reflection on unique sins we find throughout the Bible. Each day’s passage and reflection serve to examine our tendencies toward these specific sins, with guided questions to help us explore our own responses.
Then on the fortieth day, the last day of Lent, we celebrate the atoning work of the cross, the triumph of Jesus’s resurrection, and the victory he gives over sin and death!
Astonished: Following the Footsteps to the Manger
Advent Devotional Guide, 2022
Travel through the incredible story of Jesus’s birth from beginning to end. Meet Mary and Elizabeth, Zechariah and Joseph, the shepherds, Anna, Simeon and so many more, as they stand astonished at what they are seeing happen all around them. Let this story of the birth of our Savior come alive to you in ways both new and familiar, and be astonished as you follow the footsteps to the manger.
What Do I Do With Jesus?
Lenten Devotional Guide, 2022
In the climax of this remarkable story, Pilate is finally brought to the end of himself, and he exclaims in great desperation, “What shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” (Matthew 27:22).
This Lenten Devotional Guide moves through the story of Pontius Pilate and his examination of Jesus in the four Gospels, exploring six different responses that are common to us all. From shifting the responsibility of evaluating who Jesus truly is onto others, to compromising, mocking, and retreating, the heart of this guide is that each of us will be freed from the burden of these responses in order that we can stand before the cross, fully vulnerable, fully loved, and fully guided by truth.
