But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not ‘Yes’ and ‘No.’ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us – by me and Silas and Timothy – was not ‘Yes’ and ‘No,’ but in him it has always been ‘Yes.’ For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ. And so through him the ‘Amen’ is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 2 CORINTHIANS 1:18–22 From the New International Version

Philip arose and began his journey. At this very moment an Ethiopian eunuch, a [government] minister and in fact the treasurer to Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, was on his way home after coming to Jerusalem to worship. He was sitting in his carriage reading the prophet Isaiah. The Spirit said to Philip, ‘Approach this carriage, and keep close to it.’ ACTS 8:27–29 (PHILLIPS)

Episode 1 available April 7
The New Christian is a podcast for anyone exploring faith — asking big questions about who God is, who Jesus is, and what it really means to call yourself a Christian.
Hosted by Chris Jolly, Drive announcer on Hope 1032 and a relatively new Christian himself, this podcast follows a journey of discovery as Chris sits down with seasoned Christian leaders, mentors, and thinkers to explore the foundations of faith.
Season One covers questions like:
Who is God?
Who is Jesus?
Who is the Holy Spirit?
Why church? Why prayer? Why does evil exist?
Even… how do you read the Bible?
Each episode is an honest, thoughtful conversation designed for the curious, the seeker, the new believer — and even the lifelong Christian wanting to go deeper.
No jargon. No assumptions. Just real questions, trusted voices, and a growing faith.
Whether you’re exploring Christianity for the first time or rediscovering it, you’re invited to learn alongside Chris — one conversation at a time.
Because some questions don’t have quick answers… but they’re worth asking.
Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at hope1032.com.au/podcasts.

Now behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man. He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before. That day was the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.

When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, ‘I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.’ After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.’ And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.’ LUKE 22:14–20 (NIV)

Jesus replied, ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honour the one who serves me. Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? “Father, save me from this hour”? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.

On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. And as he taught them, he said, ‘Is it not written: “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations”? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’ The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.

And he answered and said to Him, ‘Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.’ Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, ‘One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.’ But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.

So six days before the Passover Feast, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had died and whom He had raised from the dead. So they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at the table with Him. Mary took a pound of ointment of pure liquid nard [a rare perfume] that was very expensive, and she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the whole house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume .JOHN 12:1–3 (AMPC)

We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 CORINTHIANS 3:13–18 From the New International Version

Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, ‘I gave birth to him in pain.’ Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, ‘Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.’ And God granted his request. 1 CHRONICLES 4:9–10 From the New International Version

At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, ‘Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?’ Daniel answered, ‘May the king live forever! My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.’ The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God. DANIEL 6:19–23 From the New International Version

He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there. Abram travelled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. The Lord appeared to Abram and said, ‘To your offspring I will give this land.’ So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him. GENESIS 12:4–7 From the New International Version

Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, ‘Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up? Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?’ Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.’ DANIEL 3:13–18 From the New International Version

But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood – to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished – he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.’ So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed). But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water.
Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, ‘Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?’ When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Silence! Be still!’ Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. Then he asked them, ‘Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?’ The disciples were absolutely terrified. ‘Who is this man?’ they asked each other. ‘Even the wind and waves obey him!’ MARK 4:35–41 (NLT)

As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, saying to them, ‘Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, “Why are you doing this?” say, “The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.”’ They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it, some people standing there asked, ‘What are you doing, untying that colt?’ They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, ‘Hosanna!’ ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ‘Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!’ ‘Hosanna in the highest heaven!’

Thanks be to God who leads us, wherever we are, on his own triumphant way and makes our knowledge of him spread throughout the world like a lovely perfume! We Christians have the unmistakable ‘scent’ of Christ, discernible alike to those who are being saved and to those who are heading for death. To the latter it seems like the very smell of doom, to the former it has the fresh fragrance of life itself. 2 CORINTHIANS 2:14–16a (PHILLIPS)

Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. ‘Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.’ But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. 1 PETER 3:13–18a (NIV)

David was conscience-stricken after he had counted the fighting men, and he said to the LORD, ‘I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now, LORD, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing.’ Before David got up the next morning, the word of the LORD had come to Gad the prophet, David’s seer: ‘Go and tell David, “This is what the LORD says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.”’ So Gad went to David and said to him, ‘Shall there come on you three years of famine in your land? Or three months of fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you? Or three days of plague in your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should answer the one who sent me.’ David said to Gad, ‘I am in deep distress. Let us fall into the hands of the LORD, for his mercy is great; but do not let me fall into human hands.’ 2 SAMUEL 24:10–14 (NIV)

After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them. Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks. When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. ACTS 18:1–5 (NIV)

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

… we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: ‘What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived’ – the things God has prepared for those who love him – these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 1 CORINTHIANS 2:7–11 (NIV)

Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the LORD. And she made this vow: ‘O LORD of Heaven’s Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you. He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign that he has been dedicated to the LORD, his hair will never be cut.’ As she was praying to the LORD, Eli watched her. Seeing her lips moving but hearing no sound, he thought she had been drinking. ‘Must you come here drunk?’ he demanded. ‘Throw away your wine!’ ‘Oh no, sir!’ she replied. ‘I haven’t been drinking wine or anything stronger. But I am very discouraged, and I was pouring out my heart to the LORD. Don’t think I am a wicked woman! For I have been praying out of great anguish and sorrow.’ ‘In that case,’ Eli said, ‘go in peace! May the God of Israel grant the request you have asked of him.’ 1 SAMUEL 1:10–17 (NLT)

DISCOVERING HOPE IN THE LIFE OF PAUL
“Paul was focusing on what was happening in him, not to him. Likewise, we can be sure that when something is happening to us, God is doing something in us – something that will shape us for eternity.” –Chris Hodges
This week, Heidi Wysman continues her study of Paul, in particular how we can find hope by watching and learning from his life and the challenges he faced.
Paul taught us how to brag right, fix fights, be un-slaved, do tired well, and much more. His words and his teachings – every message he taught – pointed to Jesus, the one who authored and now completes our faith.
And the simple message of Jesus – hope.

Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, ‘Let us go back and visit the believers in all the towns where we preached the word of the Lord and see how they are doing.’ Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark, with them, but Paul did not think it wise to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in the work. They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus, but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the believers to the grace of the Lord. He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches. ACTS 15:36–41 (NIV)

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
“Your relationship with God is the thing the enemy fears most, knowing it alone has the power to crush his evil kingdom.” –Susanne Whitlock,
God is the great creator and, ‘Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made’ (John 1:3 NIV).
So if this great God yearns for a healthy relationship with us, how can we lose? Psalm 139 tells us He knows all our thoughts before they are said (v2), and that we can also share His thoughts (v17), and they are vast.
As Laura says this week: God ‘doesn’t need us to get the words right for the exchange to be worthwhile’. It’s a relationship – just you and God in a free and loving exchange.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL
“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.” –JRR Tolkien
At least three times a day, we pause for food. It’s routine, necessary, fun. Food also means a process – planning ahead. Food has to be grown, bought, prepared, and presented. It comes at a cost but there can be a strong sense of fellowship around each step of that process.
Much of the Bible describes events around food – seasonal feasts including the Passover Feast, wedding banquets including the wedding at Cana, feeding the hungry 5,000 and their families, and even a surprise breakfast of bread and fish with the resurrected Jesus on a sandy shore beside the Sea of Galilee.
Take a moment sometimes when you eat to close your eyes and place yourself on that shoreline, sitting in the sand, listening to the lap of water and the sound of oars on wood, smelling roasting fish and flatbreads – with Jesus nearby.

Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.’ (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)

When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

Then he sent some more servants and said, “Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.” But they paid no attention and went off – one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, “The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.” So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.’ MATTHEW 22:1–10 (NIV)

FOOD FOR THE SOUL
“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.” –JRR Tolkien
At least three times a day, we pause for food. It’s routine, necessary, fun. Food also means a process – planning ahead. Food has to be grown, bought, prepared, and presented. It comes at a cost but there can be a strong sense of fellowship around each step of that process.
Much of the Bible describes events around food – seasonal feasts including the Passover Feast, wedding banquets including the wedding at Cana, feeding the hungry 5,000 and their families, and even a surprise breakfast of bread and fish with the resurrected Jesus on a sandy shore beside the Sea of Galilee.
Take a moment sometimes when you eat to close your eyes and place yourself on that shoreline, sitting in the sand, listening to the lap of water and the sound of oars on wood, smelling roasting fish and flatbreads – with Jesus nearby.

REDEEMING HOME
“There is no place like home.” –L Frank Baum
Family, church, the people we do life with, the community or village we live in, our workplace, our weekend life.
All these can bring a sense of home.
This week, our contributors look at different iterations of home and how, as Sam Fagan says, the head of the family can create the culture in the same way as God leads the way in our spiritual family and spiritual home.
Think about your personal interpretation of home. Consider the Bible verses over the coming days that talk about home. Then consider how you can tweak your daily interaction within your home to align it further with the concepts in God’s Word.

This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He’s using us all – irrespective of how we got here – in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he’s using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day – a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home. EPHESIANS 2:20–22 (MSG)

constant… adjective

4. steadfast, as in attachment; faithful.
5. standing firm in mind or purpose; resolute.
–Macquarie Dictionary
God tells us to look up and see the universe.
Then, when we pause to look down at ground level, we see the world racing ahead with technology and culture. Yet it is slipping behind too, finding more ways to live away from God.
God will outlive our earth and our earthly bodies. He is not only consistently present, but He is also consistent toward us – kind, loving, guiding, and continually forgiving.
Amongst continual change, God is our constant. He is our North Star. His is our ever-present, all-knowing, personal God.

PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING
“God can't give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing.” –CS Lewis
What if peace is bigger than just a nice feeling? What if God’s peace guards our hearts and our minds? What if it indwells? What if it does not actually take away the pain of a circumstance, but offers calm within it?
This week, our contributors have dug deeper than just examining the peace that follows after turning off the TV, or the peace that comes when the kids finally fall asleep, or the peace that arrives as your teenager pulls into the driveway at curfew.
God’s peace can drench our hearts, our minds, every cell in our bodies, and every molecule of energy in our spirits.

DEEP DIVING INTO ACTS
“The early church didn't experience explosive growth in the face of relentless persecution for believing the resurrection was a metaphor.” - David D. Flowers
This week, we continue our journey through the book of Acts which tells the wonderful, painful, and inspiring stories of how Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection pressed the button for a complete reset of society, our faith in God, and how we can live that out.
Jesus changed the world, especially in culture, gender equality, care for the sick and elderly, social rank, and in our relationship with His Father.
This pivot-point Jesus brought was demonstrated in the ‘actions’ of the apostles as they learned a new, God-approved way to live and thus set the baseline for our lives and values today.

PARADOXES OF GOD
“If the Universe came to an end every time there was some uncertainty about what had happened in it, it would never have got beyond the first picosecond.” –Douglas Adams
God asks us to pray when He already knows what we’re going to pray for. He forgives the worst of our sins and asks us to also forgive.
In the Old Testament, huge punishments were meted out. As the New Testament began, Jesus came as a lamb and brought the opportunity for each person – countless billions over the coming millennia – to enter an individual, personal and unique relationship with Him.
These are some of the paradoxes of God.
This week, as you read each devotion, you may think of other paradoxes. Maybe write them down. They may start out as questions but you’ll discover they can also become deeper attributes of the character of our God and can add greater dimension to your relationship with Him.

“If the Universe came to an end every time there was some uncertainty about what had happened in it, it would never have got beyond the first picosecond.” –Douglas Adams
God asks us to pray when He already knows what we’re going to pray for. He forgives the worst of our sins and asks us to also forgive.
In the Old Testament, huge punishments were meted out. As the New Testament began, Jesus came as a lamb and brought the opportunity for each person – countless billions over the coming millennia – to enter an individual, personal and unique relationship with Him.
These are some of the paradoxes of God.
This week, as you read each devotion, you may think of other paradoxes. Maybe write them down. They may start out as questions but you’ll discover they can also become deeper attributes of the character of our God and can add greater dimension to your relationship with Him.

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. ROMANS 3:20 (NIV)
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. MATTHEW 5:17 (NIV)

‘This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.” MATTHEW 6:9–13 (NIV)

THE ARMOUR OF GOD
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. EPHESIANS 6:10-17 (NIV

CALLED TO COURAGE
Courage is not the absence of fear but the triumph over it. -Nelson Mandela
As Christians we are called to courage. To face circumstances and situations that are uncertain, maybe painful and possibly surrounded by fear.
But the amazing thing is, we do not do this alone, and we do not take the step of courage ill equipped. We can step with confidence trusting that God has already triumphed.
This week as we explore courage and the faithfulness of God our prayer is that, no matter what situation you or those around you may be facing that you will see how God is orchestrating His master plan over your life.

Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. JOSHUA 1:6-9 (NIV)

Jesus and his disciples went to Jericho. And as they were leaving, they were followed by a large crowd. A blind beggar by the name of Bartimaeus son of Timaeus was sitting beside the road. When he heard that it was Jesus from Nazareth, he shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” Many people told the man to stop, but he shouted even louder, “Son of David, have pity on me!” Jesus stopped and said, “Call him over!” They called out to the blind man and said, “Don't be afraid! Come on! He is calling for you.” The man threw off his coat as he jumped up and ran to Jesus. MARK 10:46-50 (NIV)

Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me? says the Lord. ACTS 7:49 (NIV)
In the last edition, we started our journey through Acts and saw the beginnings of the Christian church, a revolution that would sweep across the world.
In the next six chapters of Acts, we’ll see that God’s plan was for His church to be one for all – Jew and Gentile; that God doesn’t dwell inside walls of the tabernacle but inside every believer and that God is working through His disciples to bring the message of His Gospel to all who will hear it.
May your heart be encouraged and challenged by the journey of the disciples and the early church in Acts, and may we all develop a desire to see all nations come to know Him in a living and active way.

THE ISRAELITES PLAYLISTStudy of the Psalms of Ascent
For generations, the car playlist has been an essential component to any road trip. From cassette tapes to cd’s, mp3 players and now appleplay the playlist has sent the tone and mood of trip in the car.
The Psalms of Ascent (Psalm 120 – 134) are the Israelites playlist. Songs that were sung by the Israelites every year on their way to Jerusalem for the annual feasts. The are songs that speak of home and being with God. Songs that cry out to God and songs that celebrate His faithfulness.
Over the next few editions we will be unpacking each of these Psalms one by one and reflecting on the way these songs sung generations ago still apply to us as we are on our Christian journey.

THE ISRAELITES PLAYLISTStudy of the Psalms of Ascent
For generations, the car playlist has been an essential component to any road trip. From cassette tapes to cd’s, mp3 players and now appleplay the playlist has sent the tone and mood of trip in the car.
The Psalms of Ascent (Psalm 120 – 134) are the Israelites playlist. Songs that were sung by the Israelites every year on their way to Jerusalem for the annual feasts. The are songs that speak of home and being with God. Songs that cry out to God and songs that celebrate His faithfulness.
Over the next few editions we will be unpacking each of these Psalms one by one and reflecting on the way these songs sung generations ago still apply to us as we are on our Christian journey.

both now and forevermore. PSALM 121 (NIV)

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-7 (NIV)

DEFINITION OF LOVE
The overriding character trait of Jesus is love, and the entire Gospel story is woven with love. Sometimes it’s not easy, an oftentimes it requires sacrifice, but it’s when we love that we are the most like Jesus. -Steven Furtick
Love some would say runs the world. Love of self, the idea of love, romantic love sold to us in the movies, love of things, love of success etc.
It is a word that is used in everyday conversation, used to describe feelings, emotions, and relationships.
However somewhere in there we can lose sight of the biblical meaning of Love. This week we will explore just what Love really is...

They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him, saying, ‘See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and deliver him over to the Gentiles. And they will mock him and spit on him, and flog him and kill him. MARK 10:32-34 (ESV)

FINDING HOPE THROUGH THE LIFE OF PAULA Series by Heidi Wysman
I walk by faith, not by sight - The Apostle Paul
He was one of the most influential leaders of the Christian church but his life is a story of how a life so against God can be transformed by Christ and flipped on its head.
As you journey through this six-part series written by Heidi Wysman, we pray that your sight be cleared, that Paul’s life will bring new revelation to your own, and that your zeal and your desire to serve Christ will be inspired and renewed through the example of Paul.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died — more than that, who was raised — who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in [not instead of, but in!] all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

“…Behold, now is the favourable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. We put no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labours, sleepless nights, hunger; by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love; by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; through honour and dishonour, through slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.” 2 CORINTHIANS 6:2-10 (NIV)

Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. ACTS 9:1-5 (NIV)

The Law could not make me free from the power of sin and death. It was weak because it had to work with weak human beings. But God sent His own Son. He came to earth in a body of flesh which could be tempted to sin as we in our bodies can be. He gave Himself to take away sin. By doing that, He took away the power sin had over us. ROMANS 8:3 (NLV)

A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children. For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ Then “ ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’ For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?” LUKE 23:27-31 (NIV)

THE PASSION
The passion of Christ is the greatest and most stupendous work of Divine Love. The greatest and most overwhelming work of God’s love. -Paul of the Cross
Easter. A time to reflect on the immense sacrifice that Jesus made for us in His death on the Cross and a time to celebrate the phenomenal gift we have been given through His defeat of death on the cross.
Over the next 3 weeks, as we head into the Easter season, we are going to spend time reflecting on the final hours of Christ. Considering the betrayal and suffering He endured for us but to also reflect on the character of our Saviour King who laid down His life for us.

As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!” But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.” … But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!” “Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered. Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). JOHN 19:6,15-17 (NIV)

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a slave woman came to him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.” But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about.” When he had gone out to the gateway, another slave woman saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” And again he denied it, with an oath: “I do not know the man.” A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “You really are one* of them as well, since even the way you talk gives you away.” Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. And Peter remembered the statement that Jesus had made: “Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly. MATTHEW 26:69-75 (NIV)

At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the teachers of the law, met together, and Jesus was led before them. “If you are the Messiah,” they said, “tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me, and if I asked you, you would not answer. But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.” They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.” Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips.” Luke 22:66-71 (NIV)

When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.”
“What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.”
So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.” MATTHEW 27: 3-5 (NIV)

And the word of the Lord came to him: ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?’
He replied, ‘I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.
The Lord said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.’ Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?’ 1 KINGS 19:9b–13 (NIV)

NEHEMIAH: BUILDING COMMUNITY
The book of Nehemiah in the Old Testament of the Bible is more than an account of the wall of Jerusalem being rebuilt. It’s an invitation to all who read it to be inspired by one person’s faith and passion to rebuild a community of people. The story can speak to each of us today as we engage in a desire to rebuild communities of faith and hope in the wake of the discouragement and vulnerability that world events have caused in the past few years.
Come with us as we consider how compassion for others can become inspirational action. We’ll also consider how we can do our God-given part without taking on more than is ours to do.
Working with others in a common purpose has a profound effect in building community and is one of the main messages of Nehemiah. There’s also the honest realisation that opposition to positive community building will often come from those who are onlooking as well as those who you hoped would join in and help. Finally, Nehemiah recognises the importance of celebrating the stages of completion and, although there always seems to be more to be done in building healthy communities, it’s important to stop and remember the good things that have been built together.
We pray you’ll be inspired and encouraged to believe again that God has made us to be in community with others and to work together for a common purpose.

Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. GENESIS 1:10-13 (NIV)

THE WONDER OF THE LORD’S CREATION
Oh Lord, my GodWhen I, in awesome wonderConsider all the worlds thy hands have madeI see the stars, I hear the rolling thunderThy power throughout the universe displayedHow Great Thou Art, Stuart Hine
When a sculptor or artist creates something, they imprint part of who they are into the thing they’re creating – that’s what makes these items so precious and incredible – they carry the essence of their creator within them.
This is true of the world that God created – we can see Him in every created thing. From the creation of light to the stars, to the land and the seas, ‘The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands’ (Psalm 19:1 NIV).
Join us each day this week as we take a different aspect of God’s incredible creation and explore a little more of what it says about who God is and how that truth impacts our lives.

BUILDING OTHERS UP
Encouragement is awesome. It (can) actually change the course of another person’s day, week, or life. - Chuck Swindoll
To build others up is to encourage them, give support, instill confidence, or even share hope. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 says we are to ‘build one another up’. In fact, throughout scripture, we see the exhortation to ‘encourage one another’.
In Acts of the Apostles, we even discover a man named Barnabas – this wasn’t his given name but was the name given to him by the apostles and means ‘son of encouragement’. Can you imagine being so encouraging to others that your friends change your name?
In this next week, we explore what it actually means to encourage one another and how we can live a life that builds others up. We will also end the week with a three-day dive into 1 Thessalonians 5:11.

THE DEFINITION OF FREEDOM
True and absolute freedom is only found in the presence of God. AW Tozer
There are some words in the English language that are powerful words. Words that when spoken or written hold a depth of meaning much greater and more significant than can be defined.
‘Freedom’ is one of those words.
This week we’ll explore the definition of freedom from a biblical perspective. Why is freedom so important? What does it mean for believers? And how do we go about living in the freedom won for us through Christ Jesus?

But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall. 1 CORINTHIANS 8:8-13 (NIV)

So eat your meals heartily, not worrying about what others say about you—you’re eating to God’s glory, after all, not to please them. As a matter of fact, do everything that way, heartily and freely to God’s glory. At the same time, don’t be callous in your exercise of freedom, thoughtlessly stepping on the toes of those who aren’t as free as you are. I try my best to be considerate of everyone’s feelings in all these matters; I hope you will be, too. 1 CORINTHIANS 10:31-33 (MSG)

LESSONS ON LEADERSHIP THROUGH DEBORAH
A study by Heidi Wysman
Israel had many judges, but one of the memorable and prominent ones was a woman named Deborah. Not only was she notable because she was a woman, a mother and grandmother, but also because she was a woman who knew the Lord.
Deborah was a prophetess who knew battle strategy, and she became a renowned judge and leader in Israel. We see through her story in Judges 4 and 5 that she had gained great prominence, distinction and importance on her own merits of character. Her love for, and faithfulness in, her Lord was one that brought her into her destiny of greatness. God is no respecter of persons for He gives equal and unconditional love to all as He searches out the matter of the heart, male or female.

I will lead Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River and give him into your hands.’” Barak said to her, “If you go with me, I will go; but if you don’t go with me, I won’t go.” “Certainly I will go with you,” said Deborah. “But because of the course you are taking, the honor will not be yours, for the Lord will deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman.” So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh.

THE PSALMS OF DAVID – A Heart After God’s Own
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. King David – PSALM 28:7 (NIV)
King David truly was a ‘hero of the faith’ – the only person mentioned more in scripture than him was Jesus Himself. His faith and zeal created a standard against which all Israel’s future kings were measured. He was, however, far from perfect.
In his life he was confronted by many challenges, some of his own making, some through no fault of his own, but despite all this, he stayed faithful till the end and his legacy remained, ‘a man after God’s own heart’ (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22).
Over the next week, we’ll explore together five of the psalms David wrote throughout his life. How did King David navigate the seasons of joy, trouble, and immense difficulty that he came across? What insights can we draw from David’s life that could impact our own? How do we become people after ‘God’s own heart’?

THE PSALMS OF DAVID – A Heart After God’s Own
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. King David – PSALM 28:7 (NIV)
King David truly was a ‘hero of the faith’ – the only person mentioned more in scripture than him was Jesus Himself. His faith and zeal created a standard against which all Israel’s future kings were measured. He was, however, far from perfect.
In his life he was confronted by many challenges, some of his own making, some through no fault of his own, but despite all this, he stayed faithful till the end and his legacy remained, ‘a man after God’s own heart’ (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22).
Over the next week, we’ll explore together five of the psalms David wrote throughout his life. How did King David navigate the seasons of joy, trouble, and immense difficulty that he came across? What insights can we draw from David’s life that could impact our own? How do we become people after ‘God’s own heart’?

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.
Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon, and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honour.
You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! - PSALM 8:1–9 (NIV)

HOPE
Hope is called the anchor of the soul because it gives stability to the Christian life. But hope is not simply a ‘wish’, (I wish that such-and-such would take place) but rather it is that which latches on to the certainty of the promises of the future that God has made. - RC Sproul
Hope is a word that Christians and non- Christians use every day. In moments of sadness, grief and loss, hope is the word used to encourage and spur people on. But we know that hope has an eternal meaning.
It’s more than just a word of encouragement or a wish but is a real certainty that God holds our future in His hands. It’s a hope and strength anchored in Christ.
This week, together we’ll dive into the understanding of the eternal meaning of hope and how this hope we hold in our hearts has the power to impact a world in search of it.

But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 THESSALONIANS 5:8–11 (NIV)

Then they gathered around him and asked him, ‘Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?’ He said to them: ’It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’ After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

ACTS
The body is God’s temple, but we are to worship God, not the temple. - MARTIN LUTHER KING JR
The Temple. Throughout the Bible it’s a location where God’s desire to meet and be with His people is realised. However, with Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, a new temple was established within us, His people.
What does it mean to be God’s temple? How are we then to live our lives and how does that mean we are to commune together as brothers and sisters in Christ?
We trust that, as you explore the temple both old and new, that the desire of God to be in relationship with you is not an afterthought but a desire that was born in the garden of Eden and still continues thousands of years later.

ALIGNING OUR HEART WITH GOD’S
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. PROVERBS 4:23 (ESV)
The end of a year brings time to reflect upon all that was and all that God has done, and to start to prepare and hope for all that is to come in the new year.
It’s also a time for us to think about where our heart is when it comes to God and His will and purpose for our life; to perform a heart check, if you will – to put things in place and align our heart to Him as we step into a new year.
Over the next week, we’ll spend time reflecting on our heart when it comes to gratitude, our trust in His plan, where our joy is found, when a season ends, and practical ways to continue to cultivate a heart that aligns with our heavenly Father’s heart for us and His people.

THE BIRTH OF OUR SAVIOUR KING - Through the eyes of Matthew
Infinite, and an infant. Eternal, and yet born of a woman. Almighty, and yet hanging on a woman’s breast. Supporting a universe, and yet needing to be carried in a mother’s arms. King of angels, and yet the reputed son of Joseph. Heir of all things, and yet the carpenter’s despised son. CHARLES SPURGEON
Our Saviour King came into this world not riding on a horse, surrounded by an army, wearing armour or crowned with a golden crown.
No, our Saviour came into the world as a baby, unexpected, unannounced and unexceptionally. Our mighty deliverer, was born of a unwed virgin teenager. Our warrior King, spent His early life as a refugee in Egypt. Our Lord and teacher, was hunted and opposed throughout His life, then tortured and slain for us sinful and broken people; yet He loved us enough to endure death on a cross so we could have eternal life.
We pray that, as we spend this next week reflecting on the meaning of the birth of Jesus Christ, you’ll be reminded that Christmas isn’t just an event in history to be remembered.
The birth of our Saviour was part of a much larger narrative… an event in history that led to a cross and us receiving forgiveness, grace, mercy and eternal life with our King. An event that changed the world but started cradled in the arms of a virgin mother.

No, our Saviour came into the world as a baby, unexpected, unannounced and unexceptionally. Our mighty deliverer, was born of a unwed virgin teenager. Our warrior King, spent His early life as a refugee in Egypt. Our Lord and teacher, was hunted and opposed throughout His life, then tortured and slain for us sinful and broken people; yet He loved us enough to endure death on a cross so we could have eternal life.
We pray that, as we spend this next week reflecting on the meaning of the birth of Jesus Christ, you’ll be reminded that Christmas isn’t just an event in history to be remembered.
The birth of our Saviour was part of a much larger narrative… an event in history that led to a cross and us receiving forgiveness, grace, mercy and eternal life with our King. An event that changed the world but started cradled in the arms of a virgin mother.

THE BIRTH OF OUR SAVIOUR KING - Through the eyes of Matthew
Infinite, and an infant. Eternal, and yet born of a woman. Almighty, and yet hanging on a woman’s breast. Supporting a universe, and yet needing to be carried in a mother’s arms. King of angels, and yet the reputed son of Joseph. Heir of all things, and yet the carpenter’s despised son. CHARLES SPURGEON

THE JESUS GENEALOGY: WHAT’S THE POINT?
A Series by Bob Mendelsohn
In this series Bob Mendelsohn, national director of Jews for Jesus here in Australia, opens God’s Word to us from a very unlikely source, the genealogy of Jesus as shown in Matthew, the first chapter. In fact, the entire first chapter speaks Gospel truths clearly and Bob could unpack those as well.
Let’s be honest… most of the time when we see a long list of names, most of which we cannot even pronounce, we glance at the names and skip to the end. Is that what you do? Bob will show us why Matthew spends so much ink on this list of 42 generational names, why he leaves out so many generations, and why he, and only he in the entire Bible, includes 5 women in the list. What is the Gospel author saying by saying and by not saying?
You don’t have to be a Bible scholar to appreciate the stories that unfold. You just must enjoy story itself. Don’t we all love a good story? Whether in the form of a movie or a great novel… and Matthew understands that. Each reference conjures up images and dialogue, most of all, story. Let’s see where those stories take us. And learn what God has to say to us as 21st century people.

O COME LET US ADORE HIM
The great challenge left to us is to cut through all the glitz and glam of the season that has grown increasingly secular and commercial, and be reminded of the beauty of the One who is Christmas. - BILL CROWDER
Every year, during the Christmas season (and at times outside of the season) Christmas carols can be heard on high rotation in shopping centres, on the radio, in homes and churches. Songs that are so familiar that friends and family who are not Christians still know the lyrics and the melodies. These Christmas Carols have become so familiar in society that sometimes it can seem like we are singing them by rote, forgetting the message of the Gospel that inspired the words we are singing.
As we get closer to Christmas and the celebration of our Saviour King, we hope that through this week’s devotionals you’ll hear some of your favourite Christmas carols anew and will have time to reflect on the lyrics of these songs that bring joy, hope and life in the Christ.

ALL IN
He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a ‘Christian’ with being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd. - FRANCIS CHAN
The decision to accept Christ as our Lord and Saviour is not one to be made lightly. God does not ask us to only follow Him when times are good. He does not ask us to only obey Him when we feel like it. He does not ask for half of our heart. No, He asks for all of us. For us to deny ourselves and pick up our cross and follow Him.
What does a life that is ‘all in’ for Christ look like?
This week, through the following five devotions, we will be looking at just that. How we can live lives that are ‘all in’ for Christ and how can we encourage one another as we run this race of faith?

When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. ROMANS 5:6–8 (NLT)

And the second is like it: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.’ MATTHEW 22:35–40 (NIV)

ABUNDANT PROVISION
We have all things and abound; not because I have a good store of money in the bank, not because I have skill and wit with which to win my bread, but because the Lord is my Shepherd. - CHARLES SPURGEON
It’s so easy to be exhausted by the world – by the confusion, chaos, the constant striving for more, the constant push for success. In the constant noise, it’s easy to lose sight of all we have to be thankful for – all the things our amazing Father has provided to us over and above what we deserve.
As you go through this week’s devotionals, use this time to stop. Take a break from the noise around you and meditate on our Saviour King and the abundance of His care, love and provision for you and your life.

It’s so easy to be exhausted by the world – by the confusion, chaos, the constant striving for more, the constant push for success. In the constant noise, it’s easy to lose sight of all we have to be thankful for – all the things our amazing Father has provided to us over and above what we deserve.
As you go through this week’s devotionals, use this time to stop. Take a break from the noise around you and meditate on our Saviour King and the abundance of His care, love and provision for you and your life.

And it is plain, too, that we who have a foretaste of the Spirit are in a state of painful tension, while we wait for that redemption of our bodies which will mean that at last we have realised our full sonship in him. We were saved by this hope, but in our moments of impatience let us remember that hope always means waiting for something that we haven’t yet got. But if we hope for something we cannot see, then we must settle down to wait for it in patience. ROMAN 8:23–25 (JBP)

When David’s time to die drew near, he commanded Solomon his son, saying, ’I am about to go the way of all the earth. Be strong, and show yourself a man, and keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn, that the Lord may establish his word that he spoke concerning me, saying, “If your sons pay close attention to their way, to walk before me in faithfulness with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.”’ 1 KINGS 2:1–4 (ESV)

FINDING HOPE THROUGH THE LIFE OF DAVID – Part 2
A series by Heidi Wysman
Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, ‘Behold, we are your bone and flesh. In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. And the Lord said to you, “You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over Israel.’’’ So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel. David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. 2 SAMUEL 5:1–4 (ESV)
David was anointed king three times. First by Samuel the prophet (1 Samuel 16:1–13), then anointed king of Judah (2 Samuel 2:1–4), and then over all Israel. He was anointed king at the tender age of 17, but only sat on the throne at 30. That’s a long gap but during those years David learned how to handle crises, love his enemies, honour authority, do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with his God. It was an important refining and training time. By the time David became king of Israel, his security was firmly rooted in God’s goodness and justice. God had proved Himself to be faithful time and again in the past, and now David’s confidence in God was unshakable.
David was the king to which all the future kings of Israel would be compared. Our God raises up leaders and will use everything we walk through to grow us in to the position He’s calling us in to.
PRAYER: Lord help me to be patient while I’m waiting. To trust You even during moments when I feel negative emotions. Deepen my understanding of what You’re doing in my life. Stretch my faith and refine me in the midst of the wait, just as You did for David. In Jesus’ mighty name, amen.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. PSALM 51:1–9 (NIV)

In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out – until the day it lifted.

GRIEF
A series by Kath Henry
We grieve deeply because we have cared deeply.
Grief is something we will all experience in this lifetime. The word grief is often used to describe the emotion of deep sorrow felt when someone we love has died. However, grief can also be a response to the loss of anything that has held meaning and significance in our life.
The emotions of grief are often complex and varied and are also likely to impact many other dimensions of an individual’s sense of being. These might include physical, behavioural, social and spiritual to name a few.
So how can we find our way in our own times of grief and how can we walk as a compassionate friend alongside others who are grieving?
I hope these five devotions may be a starting point for you as we look at some verses from the Bible and share some reflections. Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that you can reach out for help for yourself and others. Your community of support may already include friends and family. Remember you can also connect with well-trained people who have learned how to listen and how to help the grieving.

Grief is something we will all experience in this lifetime. The word grief is often used to describe the emotion of deep sorrow felt when someone we love has died. However, grief can also be a response to the loss of anything that has held meaning and significance in our life.
The emotions of grief are often complex and varied and are also likely to impact many other dimensions of an individual’s sense of being. These might include physical, behavioural, social and spiritual to name a few.
So how can we find our way in our own times of grief and how can we walk as a compassionate friend alongside others who are grieving?
I hope these five devotions may be a starting point for you as we look at some verses from the Bible and share some reflections. Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that you can reach out for help for yourself and others. Your community of support may already include friends and family. Remember you can also connect with well-trained people who have learned how to listen and how to help the grieving.

EARTHEN VESSELS
‘Take me, mold me,
Use me, fill me,
I give my life to the Potter’s hand.’ - Darlene Zschech
We all have flaws. Not a single one of us is perfect and many of us have cracks and breaks that are evidence of seasons of wilderness, loss, grief and confusion. But despite these cracks and flaws God, in His love, puts us back together in His only perfect way, and uses us to continue to bring Him glory and share experiences of His love with those around us.
As you navigate the next five days of readings, may you be filled anew with comfort and hope that your flaws, cracks and breaks have been made perfect through His sacrifice.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

THE TEMPLE
The body is God’s temple, but we are to worship God, not the temple. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR
The temple. Throughout the Bible, it is a location where God’s desire to meet and be with His people is realised. However, with Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, a new temple was established within us, His people.
What does it mean to be God’s temple? How are we then to live our lives? How does that mean we are to commune together as brothers and sisters in Christ?
We trust that, as you explore the temple both old and new, the desire of God to be in a relationship with you is not an afterthought but a desire that was born in the garden of Eden and still continues now.

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honour God with your bodies. 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19–20 (NIV)

PSALM 23
I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. - PSALM 23:6 (NIV)
Psalm 23 is one of the most well-known psalms. If you grew up in Sunday school, every verse was a memory verse and when you hear the start of verse 1 – ‘The Lord is my shepherd’ – for some, the rest of the psalm just rolls off the tongue because it’s so familiar.
However, we all know that familiarity sometimes brings loss of meaning – a rote recitation of a passage that contains a message of hope and comfort in a season of wilderness and loss.
As we dissect this psalm verse by verse over the next five days, we pray that it won’t just be familiar but that it will take on new depth and new meaning in your life.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore, I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 1 CORINTHIANS 9:14–17 (NIV)

SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES
‘God has given us the disciplines of the spiritual life as a means of receiving His grace. The disciplines allow us to place ourselves before God so that he can transform us.’ - RICHARD FOSTER
For so many of us, when we hear the word discipline, we automatically associate it with punishment or a negative experience.
However, the word ‘discipline’ also refers to training, activity, or a regime that improves a skill.
When we talk about spiritual disciplines, this training or learning that improves a skill is the discipline we’re referring to – disciplines and practices that develop our relationship with God and draw us closer to Him.
As you read through these next devotionals, we hope you start to cultivate new disciplines in your life. Disciplines that bring you life and deepen your relationship with our creator God.

THE PROMISES OF GOD
Gather the riches of God’s promises. Nobody can take away from you those texts from the Bible which you have learned by heart. - CORRIE TEN BOOM
The Christian life is not always easy. In fact, it’s filled with bumps, dips, twists and turns, mountains, valleys, deserts and wildernesses. However, along every step of the journey we have the promises of God to keep us anchored and on course.
The promises of God are revelations of His character and heart for us, His people. They are fundamental truths that never change. Promises of hope, rest, forgiveness and, above all, promises of grace and love.
May you be encouraged and spurred on as we run this race together that in every season we have a constant hope to cling to – our Father in heaven.

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns.

May you be encouraged and spurred on as we run this race together that in every season we have a constant hope to cling to – our Father in heaven.

And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 1 SAMUEL 30:6 (ESV)

DISCOVERING HOPE IN THE LIFE OF DAVID
A Series by Heidi Wysman
David is one of the most referenced people in the Bible with sixty-six chapters dedicated to him. His encounter with Goliath is probably the best-known Bible account of all time. A shepherd boy who puts his trust in God and defeats a huge, experienced warrior with only his faith, a sling and a stone. David’s story is not only inspiring but very human. David was the youngest of eight sons of Jesse, a farmer and sheep breeder of the Israelite tribe of Judah, and became the second king of ancient Israel. David began his career as a court musician of King Saul, the first king in Israel. But as he grew, David began to write down his inspired songs, or psalms . His compositions inspire readers today, filling nearly half of the Book of Psalms.
David was a mighty warrior who learned to trust God in the depths of depression and the extremes of danger. He also knew how to offer the high praises of God as he saw God in all his victories. But like all of us, David had his flaws. In his life’s story, we watch a man who falls very low, but repents to take hold of God’s grace and forgiveness and is ultimately restored and redeemed. By studying David’s life, we discover that God is writing the story of our salvation. We may feel like we have very little to offer God, but that’s based on our limited perspective. When God calls, He empowers us. David’s story points us to hope in God’s mercy and His unfailing love.

When Saul returned from following the Philistines, he was told, ‘Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.’ Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel and went to seek David and his men in front of the Wildgoats’ Rocks. And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where there was a cave, and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost parts of the cave. And the men of David said to him, ‘Here is the day of which the Lord said to you, “Behold, I will give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.”’ Then David arose and stealthily cut off a corner of Saul’s robe. And afterward David’s heart struck him, because he had cut off a corner of Saul’s robe. He said to his men, ‘The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the Lord’s anointed, to put out my hand against him, seeing he is the Lord’s anointed.’ So David persuaded his men with these words and did not permit them to attack Saul. And Saul rose up and left the cave and went on his way. 1 SAMUEL 24:1–7 (ESV)

Then Samuel said to Jesse, ‘Are all your sons here?’ And he said, ‘There remains yet the youngest, but behold, he is keeping the sheep.’ And Samuel said to Jesse, ‘Send and get him, for we will not sit down till he comes here.’ And he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And the Lord said, ‘Arise, anoint him, for this is he.’ 1 SAMUEL 16:11–12 (ESV)

Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me – those who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches?

DEALING WITH DISAPPOINTMENT AND FAILURE
Don’t let failure or disappointment cut you off from God or make you think that the future is hopeless. When God closes one door, He often opens another door – if we seek it. - BILLY GRAHAM
Life has a way of sometimes kicking you in the guts. A way of disappointing you like you never expected or dashing your hope and belief in future possibilities. A way of making you feel like you have failed despite the steps it took to give it a try.
From an earthly perspective, when life throws you lemons, sometimes it just leaves a sour taste in your mouth. However, if you view these disappointments and failures through a God-lens they start to take on the shape of possibility and opportunity. They start to look like hope-filled steps towards a future with doors that are opened waiting for us to step through.
This week, no matter what you’re currently journeying through, our prayer is that your view will start to take a different shape. A view that trusts God’s plan and purpose over disappointment. A view that leans into learning and refinement over failure. And a view that ultimately stands firm on the hope and faith we have in Christ.

WHEN GOD SAYS NO
The key is you have to trust that God only has the best in store for you. If God says no to something, He says yes to something even greater. It is when you fully surrender all of your desires to His will that His perfect will is done. - NICK VUJICIC
God saying ‘No’. It’s not something we really want to think about God saying to us. Even a ‘Not yet’ is better than a ‘No’. But the reality is sometimes God says ‘No’, but it’s what we do in these moments and our response to this answer that will guide our next step.
As we wrestle with this topic over the next five days, we hope you’ll see how our sovereign God is writing a story on our lives that is far greater than we can even think, dream or imagine. However, sometimes God needs to say ‘No’ in order for us to get to the greater.

MEETING WITH GOD
What is amazing is how we treat a meeting with God as ordinary or burdensome. FRANCIS CHAN
God desires to be with His people. We read it time and time again in the Bible. However, the question that always remains is, are we desiring to be with God in the same way He desires to be with us? Do we want to be with Him? Is that important to us?
On the other side is the question about how we meet with God. How do we intentionally set up time and moments to spend with Him throughout the seasons of life?
This week, we’ll be discussing all these questions and more as we seek to understand the heart of our amazing God for us, our personal motivations to spend time with Him, and ways for us to practically start meeting with Him throughout our daily rhythms.

SECOND CHANCESA study of Exodus 33–37
The day we find the perfect church, it becomes imperfect the moment we join it. - CHARLES SPURGEON
It’s a cycle we’ve seen over and over again in history. God’s people complain and doubt God, they turn away from Him and try to do it their own way, so He warns them of the consequences but they are stubborn and continue down their own path. God continues to provide and inevitably proves Himself to them. They run back to Him and He forgives them time and time again.
The thing is, this cycle, is still happening today. It still happens with you and me, and still God continues to give us second chances.

Then [Bezalel] made the Ark’s cover – the place of atonement – from pure gold… He molded the cherubim [angelic beings] on each end of the atonement cover, making it all of one piece of gold… With their wings spread above it, they protected it. EXODUS 37:6a,8–9 (NLT)

SECOND CHANCESA study of Exodus 33–37
The day we find the perfect church, it becomes imperfect the moment we join it. - CHARLES SPURGEON
It’s a cycle we’ve seen over and over again in history. God’s people complain and doubt God, they turn away from Him and try to do it their own way, so He warns them of the consequences but they are stubborn and continue down their own path. God continues to provide and inevitably proves Himself to them. They run back to Him and He forgives them time and time again.
The thing is, this cycle, is still happening today. It still happens with you and me, and still God continues to give us second chances.

BACK TO BASICS: THE GREAT COMMISSION
The Great Commission is still the mission statement of the Church. - DALLAS WILLARD
The Great Commission is one of the guiding principles of our faith as Christians. The call-to-action for believers in Jesus Christ. The ultimate to-do list for the church. The mission statement of the church, as Dallas Willard says.
So as the church, what is our to-do list, and how do we live a life that is shaped and guided by this mission?
This week we’ll be diving into the Great Commission as we seek to understand how we collectively and as individuals are to be shaped and guided by this mission to see the kingdom of God expand, the Gospel be proclaimed and the church grow.

BACK TO BASICS: HEAVEN AND EARTH
The resurrection completes the inauguration of God’s kingdom… It is the decisive event demonstrating that God’s kingdom really has been launched on earth as it is in heaven. - NT Wright
As children, many of us had ideas of heaven. Maybe yours was that it was up in the clouds, maybe that it was one big party where you could drink and eat whatever you wanted, or perhaps it was all about the pearly gates for you, or the loved ones that were now in heaven watching over you. The similarity between all these ideas is that heaven was a place that was separate or different from earth.
However, as we’ll discover through this week’s readings, heaven is in fact near. So near that sometimes we catch a glimpse of what it will be like when Jesus returns. When we get to be with our Saviour King for eternity, oh how precious that day will be.

BACK TO BASICS: THE KINGDOM OF GOD
The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed beginning as the smallest of seeds but growing until the birds of the air make their nests therein. There are old worlds and new ones. There are earthly worlds and cyber worlds. But one truth remains the same now and forever, that Jesus rules them all. - RC SPROUL Jr

PEACE IN THE CHAOS
If God be our God, He will give us peace in trouble. When there is a storm without, He will make peace within. The world can create trouble in peace, but God can create peace in trouble. - Thomas Watson
Sometimes the noise of the world is overwhelming. There is so much pain. So much distrust. So much confusion. So much chaos.
It’s easy to turn to fear, anxiety and worry rather than to turn to our righteous Saviour.
This week we’ll look at finding peace in the chaos. In the world, in our community, in our own lives, chaos will come. But in those moments it’s good to know where to find peace that brings greater perspective, understanding and direction, and knowing that God is working all things together for His good and in His time.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit… For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.’ JOHN 3:3–6,16 (ESV)

BACK TO BASICS: PRAYER
The reality is, my prayers don’t change God. But, I am convinced prayer changes me. Praying boldly boots me out of that stale place of religious habit into authentic connection with God Himself. - LYSA TERKEURST
Prayer. It can look different for everyone. Sometimes it’s a time of thanksgiving over your nightly meal, a verse of scripture quietly recited in the midst of the chaos going on around you, the deep breath as you ask God to be with you as you head into a difficult meeting, the conversation you have with God in your 15-minute drive to work, or a moment just sitting with God when you don’t know what to say.
Despite all the different forms prayer can take, the principle of connecting and spending time with our heavenly Father remains the same. The moments of reaching and seeking, wrestling and conversation. The moments of opening our hearts to the one who knows us better than anyone else. Moments of connection with our Saviour King.
As you navigate through these next five devotions, we pray that your communication and conversation with God will be given new life. One that is rich and full, one that is powerful and bold and one that seeks God in all things.

HANNAH AND SAMUEL - A Study of 1 Samuel 1–3
My heart rejoices in the Lord… There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God. - 1 SAMUEL 2:1–2 (AMP)
The story of Hannah and Samuel is one of love, persistence, faithfulness and joy. A story that has reverberated through history. A story of impact that shows God’s perfect plan at work.
This week as we look Hannah and Samuel and how God used both of them to change a nation, our prayer is that you’ll be encouraged. Encouraged that God is in control, encouraged that God’s plan is perfect and oftentimes beyond our wildest dreams, and encouraged to find the joy in the midst of the grief and sacrifice.

The moments of reaching and seeking, wrestling and conversation. The moments of opening our hearts to the one who knows us better than anyone else. Moments of connection with our Saviour King.
As you navigate through these next five devotions, we pray that your communication and conversation with God will be given new life. One that is rich and full, one that is powerful and bold and one that seeks God in all things.

BACK TO BASICS: PRAYER
The reality is, my prayers don’t change God. But, I am convinced prayer changes me. Praying boldly boots me out of that stale place of religious habit into authentic connection with God Himself. - LYSA TERKEURST

FINDING HOPE IN ISAIAH
In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. - ISAIAH 6:1 (ESV)
Recently I read the book of Isaiah and it stands as a testament of hope in the Lord, the One who saves His people from themselves. It’s filled with many promises and prophecies that pointed to Jesus: from the announcement of the Lord’s coming (Isaiah 40:3–5), His virgin birth (7:14), the good news He would proclaim (61:1), His sacrificial death (52:13 – 53:12), and His return to claim His own (60:2–3). In this plan, Finding Hope in Isaiah, you’ll discover our wonderful God and experience His faithfulness to keep His promises.
Let’s look at the prophet Isaiah. He lived during a time when King Uzziah, a popular king, died. Uzziah had ruled some 52 years on the throne and his death was a national tragedy. It reflected a changing time, and the people began to fear for the future. Everything was getting turned upside down. All that the people could see with Uzziah gone was an empty throne.
But Isaiah wrote: In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. In the midst of it all. Isaiah’s eyes shifted from an earthly king, and an empty throne, to the King of Kings, seated on the throne of all thrones. God was on the throne and God was still in control. The one Isaiah would describe only a few chapters later

BACK TO BASICS: THE CHURCH
In such a fearful world, we need a fearless church. CS LEWIS
Throughout history ‘the church’ has changed. Even today the church looks different depending on where you are: the buildings are different – some built hundreds of years ago; others are a person’s home or under a tree. the services look different – some based in tradition, others are loud and lively; some have organists and others have a full rock band. the church experience feels different – some are more structured and predictable whilst others have lights and screens or may be more group-discussion based.
However, the church isn’t a building, a look or a feel. The church is a people, a community. It’s you and it’s me!
This week, may the distractions of the world fade to the background and may you see clearly the church as God intended it… His people, gathering together, in fellowship for His glory!

DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS
Never underestimate the power of a conversation. - Anonymous
We have all been in one of ‘those’ conversations that challenges us and makes us uncomfortable. Maybe it was aggressive, or filled with anger or condescension. Maybe it was a conversation you knew you would never win or resolve.
However, as Christians we are called to be the light of Christ in the world and that includes in our conversations. So how do we approach these conversations with non-Christians and Christians. How do we display Christ and His love in these moments?
This week we’ll explore these questions. As you read through this week’s devotions, may you be encouraged, challenged and equipped to step into these conversations with confidence and the ability to navigate your conversations in a way that glorifies God and points others to Him.

OUR LIVES – GOD’S STORY
We are the bibles the world is reading; we are the creeds the world is needing; we are the sermons the world is heeding. - Billy Graham
Our lives are a story. A story that will be looked at by those in our world and the generations to come. A story being written by our Heavenly Father. A story that reflects His immense love for the world. His desire and heart for good. A story that shows His compassion and mercy. It’s a story of unwavering grace. A story that shows the world the Saviour King.
Our lives are the books the world will read. Some will read them to trip us up, others will read them to understand, but all in all our prayer is that our lives are inevitably seen as a living letter from the King of Kings to His beloved people. A letter wrapped in the story of our lives that is evidence of a God who is working in every situation and circumstance. This life we live isn’t ours – it’s His.

The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. PSALM 145:4-8 (NIV)

BACK TO THE BASICS: BIBLE
Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years. CHARLES SPURGEON
There are some times in life where it serves to go back to the foundations or the beginning, to be reminded anew of the path you took to get there, and to be reminded of your ‘why’.
Our faith in God is no different, and sometimes it’s a good idea to go back to our foundations, our beginning, our basics, to be reminded and inspired anew of our faith journey.
Today we start a series called ‘Back to the Basics’ where we’ll look at seven vital elements of Christianity and how they apply to us. This week we’re looking at the Bible – the Word of God – and how it helps guide and direct us through life but also reveals the character of God and master plan for humanity.
Through these devotions, we pray you’ll see that the Bible is so much more than a book. That it’s a love letter from our heavenly Father, showing us His heart and desire for His people.

This week, we are remembering and reflecting on this amazing grace. A grace we all share. A grace that unites us and brings us together as the family of Christ. A grace that has the power to transform hearts, communities and nations.
A truly amazing grace.

WEARINESS
Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble. If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. PROVERBS 3:23–24 (ESV)
Life can at times be hard and is full of twists and turns. Unexpected events, difficult situations, pandemics, relationships, and the daily grind can at times lead to a weariness that is beyond tired or exhaustion. A weariness that caffeine and endorphins can’t fix.
It’s a soul weariness.
You may have experienced this or you may be going through a season of weariness right now. Through this week’s devotions, no matter where you are in life, our prayer is that you’ll find God in these words. That your soul will be nourished, your spirit renewed and your heart filled. That you find hope in the midst of your weariness and can see God at the centre of all that is around you.

But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life. For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. GENESIS 45:5–8 (NKJV)

DISCOVERING HOPE THROUGH JOSEPH - A Series by Heidi Wysman
The story of Joseph in Genesis 37–50 teaches us how to live a pure life, resist temptation, stay true through trials, have mercy, look beyond our circumstances, and to learn to see God’s presence with us, even in the midst of great suffering in our lives. The story of Joseph reveals that the worst conditions possible may not be final; that we should never lose hope and judge our own life, or others, by one season; that God can use seemingly hopeless situations to change the story; that His plan may not be obvious to our limited perspective but, indeed, ‘… all things work together for good… for those who are called according to his purpose’ (Romans 8:28 NKJV).
Joseph’s father, Jacob, displayed extra affection to Joseph and presented him with a specially crafted garment – a ‘coat of many colours’. This prompted jealousy within his brothers, which grew when Joseph repeated two of his dreams to them that showed him ruling over them. One day the brothers threw Joseph into a pit, then sold him as a slave to Arab traders. He was eventually taken to Egypt and sold to Potiphar, one of King Pharaoh’s ministers.
God helped Joseph find favour in his master’s eyes, and he was appointed head of Potiphar’s estate. However, this position did not last for long. Potiphar’s wife lied about Joseph who was thrown into prison. The Lord’s kindness followed Joseph and the prison warden soon appointed him as his right-hand man. With God’s help, Joseph interpreted the dreams of two prisoners, predicting that one would be reinstated and the other put to death. Eventually, Joseph rose to be ruler of Egypt, second only to King Pharaoh, and he saved Egypt during a famine. Jacob’s family travelled to Egypt to escape the famine and Joseph’s dreams became a reality and, where he could have sown revenge, Joseph chose forgiveness. He welcomed his entire family with open arms, and it was through him that they were allowed to settle in the Land of Goshen.

And Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison. The place where the king’s prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison. But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. And the keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever was done there, he was the one who did it. The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph’s charge because the Lord was with him. And whatever he did, the Lord made it succeed. GENESIS 39:20–23 (ESV)

The Lord was with Joseph, and he [even though a slave] became a successful and prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. Now his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that he did to prosper (succeed) in his hand. So Joseph pleased Potiphar and found favor in his sight and he served him as his personal servant. He made Joseph overseer over his house, and he put all that he owned in Joseph’s charge.

THE GOD CONNECTION
A Study of EXODUS 28–32
Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.’ EXODUS 31:13 (NIV)
Connection. We are created for connection. From the first breath in the darkness at the beginning of time through to today, God has always desired to be connected to His people. To live with us. However, sin destroyed this plan.
Through these readings in Exodus, we see the lengths God is willing to go to remain connected to His people despite our sin and constant rejection. At a time where His people did not have direct access to God, He still made a way.
Centuries have passed and through Jesus defeating death on the cross we now have a direct connection to God. These passages serve to remind us that our God will always make a way to be with us – His people – now and forevermore.

THE INTERSECTION OF FAITH & CULTURE: Opinion & Disagreement
Often it is hard. So hard, in fact, that Jesus’ decree to love and pray for our opponents is regarded as one of the most breathtaking and gut-wrenching challenges of his entire Sermon on the Mount, a speech renowned for its outrageous claims. There was no record of any other spiritual leader ever having articulated such a clear-cut, unambiguous command for people to express compassion to those who are actively working against their best interests. LEE STROBEL
The world is FULL of opinions! It seems that these days everyone can have a platform to voice those opinions if they have a social media account. But along with opinions comes disagreements. Disagreements that divide, incite anger, hatred and judgement.
When it comes to our faith, how can we live a life set up by Christ in a world so divided by opinion and disagreement. How can we navigate these conversations and possible opposition in a way that glorifies God? On the flip side, how do we also navigate disagreement and opposition with each other – our brothers and sisters in Christ.
This week, we hope you gain greater insight into how to navigate the sometimes-difficult world of opinion and disagreement.
And we hope that God challenges you in new ways and gives you the tools you need to approach the opinion-fuelled world with confidence knowing our loving God is with you.

So hard, in fact, that Jesus’ decree to love and pray for our opponents is regarded as one of the most breathtaking and gut-wrenching challenges of his entire Sermon on the Mount, a speech renowned for its outrageous claims. There was no record of any other spiritual leader ever having articulated such a clear-cut, unambiguous command for people to express compassion to those who are actively working against their best interests. LEE STROBEL
The world is FULL of opinions! It seems that these days everyone can have a platform to voice those opinions if they have a social media account. But along with opinions comes disagreements. Disagreements that divide, incite anger, hatred and judgement.
When it comes to our faith, how can we live a life set up by Christ in a world so divided by opinion and disagreement. How can we navigate these conversations and possible opposition in a way that glorifies God? On the flip side, how do we also navigate disagreement and opposition with each other – our brothers and sisters in Christ.
This week, we hope you gain greater insight into how to navigate the sometimes-difficult world of opinion and disagreement.
And we hope that God challenges you in new ways and gives you the tools you need to approach the opinion-fuelled world with confidence knowing our loving God is with you.

THE INTERSECTION OF FAITH AND CULTURE: Uncertainty & Doubt
Some of us who have preached the Word for years, and have been the means of working faith in others and of establishing them in the knowledge of the fundamental doctrines of the Bible, have nevertheless been the subjects of the most fearful and violent doubts as to the truth of the very gospel we have preached. CHARLES SPURGEON
In the Christian life, doubt and uncertainty are inevitable. Often we can feel like we may have lost our faith or are sinning if we question or wrestle with God about something in our lives.
However, as we will see this week, the wrestle often refines us and leads us into greater relationship with our heavenly Father.
As we journey through the devotionals this week, may you gain a greater understanding of God and grow closer to Him and more certain of who He is in the midst of uncertainty and doubt.

Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, ‘We have seen the Lord!’ But he said to them, ‘Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.’ JOHN 20:24–25 (NIV)

Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.’ MATTHEW 20:26–28 (NIV)

THE INTERSECTION OF FAITH & CULTURE: Service & Hospitality
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither. CS LEWIS
It’s hard to live out our faith in a world where the Christian life seems to be counter to the culture we live in. But together we can help one another navigate those challenging situations where the people we’re seeking to minister to may not understand or may think we are just plain weird.
Over the next three weeks, we’ll be looking at three topics that many may find challenging, difficult, and awkward when trying to live out our faith, and what we believe, in a broken world.
This week we’re looking at service and hospitality. For some, this comes easily but others find this difficult. Also, the practice of service outside the church, to many unbelievers, is odd and confronting. Although we may be seen as different (we are supposed to be), these acts of service and hospitality give us an opportunity to share experiences of God’s love.
May you grow and learn from our contributors’ experience and, more importantly, be encouraged by the words of our servant King.

REVIVAL
A Series By Will Graham
It was March 2020. I was supposed to be in Tifton, Georgia, in the southern United States, holding a three-day evangelistic outreach. Instead, I sat next to my wife in our North Carolina home, contemplating the suddenly-tumultuous state of our world.
The COVID-19 pandemic had quickly raced around the globe. Schools were cancelling classes. Businesses were shutting down. Churches were closing their doors.
The news was filled with breathless updates of an apocalyptic nature. In the United States we were seeing semi-trucks being used as morgues, and interviews with people who were dying in hospital beds.
It became clear that our event in Tifton needed to be postponed. In its place, we hastily scheduled an online program; an opportunity to share the Gospel via livestream to Georgia and beyond.
It seemed like a good idea at the time, but – as I sat there with my wife, contemplating what I would speak about during the livestream – I was overwhelmed. What could I possibly say in my message? What did I have to offer as the world was being consumed with disease and death?
If I’m being fully honest with you, I wasn’t just overwhelmed. I was afraid as well. Despite my focus on eternal matters, I am human. And that part of me was just as scared of the potential for mass casualties – perhaps even my own family – as everybody else.
My godly wife, sensing my struggle, offered her guidance: “Just talk about Jesus. The Name of Jesus is the only thing that has the power to drive out fear.”
She was absolutely right, and that’s what I did. To a world gripped by panic and anxiety, I proclaimed the Name of Jesus: the hope, peace, power and purpose found in Him alone.
The world has changed a lot in the last 24 months. The spirit of fear is still very strong. People are afraid of COVID, of lockdowns, of losing their jobs, or of getting sick. Relationships are strained. Some have lost faith in their governments, their schools, and even their doctors. The world, in many ways, is a mess.
But that doesn’t change this fact: The Name of Jesus is still the answer to every problem we face. The temporary struggles of this world fade away in the presence of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
The problem, however, is that so many of our friends, neighbors and loved ones do not understand the hope that Christ offers, and the peace that can be found in a true relationship with Him. They’re desperate for something, but have not yet found the fulfillment they seek.
My friends, in the following devotionals, I hope to not just challenge you to share your faith with others, but also equip you with a few basic strategies for sharing “the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15). We have a limited amount of time on this earth to make an impact for the Kingdom, and we must use that time wisely. Eternity is at stake.

My godly wife, sensing my struggle, offered her guidance: “Just talk about Jesus. The Name of Jesus is the only thing that has the power to drive out fear.”
She was absolutely right, and that’s what I did. To a world gripped by panic and anxiety, I proclaimed the Name of Jesus: the hope, peace, power and purpose found in Him alone.
The world has changed a lot in the last 24 months. The spirit of fear is still very strong. People are afraid of COVID, of lockdowns, of losing their jobs, or of getting sick. Relationships are strained. Some have lost faith in their governments, their schools, and even their doctors. The world, in many ways, is a mess.
But that doesn’t change this fact: The Name of Jesus is still the answer to every problem we face. The temporary struggles of this world fade away in the presence of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
The problem, however, is that so many of our friends, neighbors and loved ones do not understand the hope that Christ offers, and the peace that can be found in a true relationship with Him. They’re desperate for something, but have not yet found the fulfillment they seek.
My friends, in the following devotionals, I hope to not just challenge you to share your faith with others, but also equip you with a few basic strategies for sharing “the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15). We have a limited amount of time on this earth to make an impact for the Kingdom, and we must use that time wisely. Eternity is at stake.

A Series By Will Graham
It was March 2020. I was supposed to be in Tifton, Georgia, in the southern United States, holding a three-day evangelistic outreach. Instead, I sat next to my wife in our North Carolina home, contemplating the suddenly-tumultuous state of our world.
The COVID-19 pandemic had quickly raced around the globe. Schools were cancelling classes. Businesses were shutting down. Churches were closing their doors.
The news was filled with breathless updates of an apocalyptic nature. In the United States we were seeing semi-trucks being used as morgues, and interviews with people who were dying in hospital beds.
It became clear that our event in Tifton needed to be postponed. In its place, we hastily scheduled an online program; an opportunity to share the Gospel via livestream to Georgia and beyond.

There is a lot of disappointment when the things we planned or hoped for don't come to pass, which has been a fairly common sentiment recently. Today Laura Bennett opens up to us about this disappointment and where it fits on a journey to finding contentment when we're living in a world that doesn't go our way.

CONTENTMENT
The cure for the sin of envy and jealousy is to find our contentment in God. JERRY BRIDGES
Life has a way of throwing us curve balls. Things may be on track then all of a sudden the unexpected happens and we stand surrounded by the pieces of things that were.
We also live in a world where there is a constant striving for more. More things, more money, more love, more me.
So as Christians how can we live our faith out when life throws you curve balls and in the world of ‘more’? How do we find contentment in a society where contentment seems to be a mysterious unattainable ideal?
As we look at our readings this week, we pray you find the answers to these questions and the hope and contentment that isn’t unattainable but can be found in our Heavenly Father.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Dwayne Jefferies returns for another conversation, this time discussing just what Jesus was "supposed" to look like. Sometimes we try to fit Christ into a box or expect or "want" him to look a certain way. But maybe that's just because he's more than we could possibly comprehend?

JESUS: THE UNEXPECTED
Jesus was long expected. But when and how and where and why He came were all unexpected. - JON BLOOM
Jesus, our loving King. The long-awaited Saviour of the world. Prophesied for centuries. Expected and anticipated by generations.
However, although He was expected, His life was anything but what people thought it would look like.
Whilst He was expected to be born in Bethlehem, no one expected Him to be born in the back cave of an inn. No one expected that in His ministry He would surround Himself with the broken, oppressed, ostracised sinners of society.
And no one expected He would be broken, beaten, rejected, hung on a cross and would die.
But the best bit is that no one expected our Saviour would defeat death and then rise again three days later! ALL FOR US!
Our Jesus, His life, was unexpected but it led to the amazing saving grace we can now proclaim! This week, together, lets marvel and reflect on the unexpected life of our gracious King who saved not only you and me, but the world!

Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, ‘Will you give me a drink?’ … The Samaritan woman said to him, ‘You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?’ (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, ‘If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.’ JOHN 4:6–10 (NIV)

SUFFERING
Suffering drives us like a nail deep into God’s love and into more spiritual power than we can imagine. - TIM KELLER
Suffering is something that many of us don’t like to think about. It can be confronting, challenging and sometimes depressing to think about the suffering we may have experienced or even the suffering of people around us or the suffering of the world. It can be hard to see hope in the midst of suffering.
However, we have a God who is working in every situation. Even in the darkness. Even in our sorrow. Even in our suffering.
Through the devotions this week, we pray you will find hope. That you will find strength. That you will find God in your midst. He has never left you and will never forsake you.

YOUR KINGDOM COME
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. MATTHEW 6:10 (NIV)
Have you had moments when you don’t know how to pray? When you don’t know how to express the things in your heart? When you don’t know where to start when it comes to the things you need to bring to our Heavenly Father?
The Lord’s prayer in Matthew 6:9–13 is a great place to start. It’s more than just the words that many of us can recite by heart. It’s a passage of scripture that shows us how to pray. In the moments when we don’t know how to start, and in the times when it just seems to pour out of us, even in the season of thanksgiving, this passage brings us back to the heart of prayer – God’s heart.
Through this week’s readings, may your approach to prayer be renewed, refreshed, and reawakened. May you see prayer as a way to connect to the heart of our ever-loving Saviour.

The Lord’s prayer in Matthew 6:9–13 is a great place to start. It’s more than just the words that many of us can recite by heart. It’s a passage of scripture that shows us how to pray. In the moments when we don’t know how to start, and in the times when it just seems to pour out of us, even in the season of thanksgiving, this passage brings us back to the heart of prayer – God’s heart.
Through this week’s readings, may your approach to prayer be renewed, refreshed, and reawakened. May you see prayer as a way to connect to the heart of our ever-loving Saviour.

Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation but rescue us from the evil one. MATTHEW 6:11–13 (NLT)

And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. MATTHEW 6:5–6 (ESV)

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. COLOSSIANS 1:9–14 (NIV)

DANGEROUS PRAYERS
How do you think your life might change if you prayed daily a daring, faith-filled prayer of whole-life devotion to the one who gave it all for you? - CRAIG GROESCHEL
Dangerous prayers. Prayers that have the power to not only change circumstances but could completely shift and change the trajectory of your life. Prayers that push you out of your comfort zone. Prayers that are bold and require your complete surrender to God and His will for your life.
Dangerous prayers. Can bring us pause. Can make us nervous. Can be scary to even think, let alone whisper in the quiet of the night.
However, these dangerous prayers invite God to do His will in our lives. These prayers release God to write a new chapter in our lives. These prayers are bold, scary, challenging, and nerve-wracking, but oh the wonder that can unfold when we step boldly into these prayers knowing God has us in the palm of His hand.
Our prayer is that this week those dangerous prayers that may have been planted in your heart will begin to flourish. That you will be encouraged and inspired to step boldly into these prayers knowing God has a plan and a purpose for your life.

SPIRITUAL GIFTS
Your spiritual gifts were not given for your own benefit but for the benefit of others, just as other people were given gifts for your benefit. - RICK WARREN
‘Spiritual gifts’ is a term we can get really hung up on. Questions or statements like ‘God, what are my spiritual gifts?’, or, ‘God why didn’t you give me a gift like that person?’, or, ‘I think this is my spiritual gift but how does that help anyone?’ can regularly come up when we think about gifts.
However, all these gifts work together for the good of all! This week we’ll look at all the spiritual gifts God gives us. Gifts to serve, gifts to love others, gifts to challenge one another, and gifts that leave a legacy.
We’ll look at how the gifts God has given us can change the circumstances around us because these gifts were given to shine His light, not our own.

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4:16–18 (ESV)

GENEROSITY
No one has ever become poor by giving. - ANNE FRANK
In a world that’s about ‘more’ and ‘excess’, it’s easy to fall into the trap of storing up our possessions and wealth for ourselves in an effort to ‘Keep up with the Joneses’.
However, throughout the Bible, from the Old to the New Testament, we are called to lives of generosity. Lives that see the need around us and meet it. Lives that give because we have been given so much.
In this week’s devotionals, we explore this topic of generosity, a word that can at times be counter-cultural, but has the power to be transformational in this world where ‘self’ reigns supreme and where God’s love is needed more than ever.

In this week’s devotionals, we explore this topic of generosity, a word that can at times be counter-cultural, but has the power to be transformational in this world where ‘self’ reigns supreme and where God’s love is needed more than ever.

Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 1 TIMOTHY 6:17 (NLT)

REST
In place of our exhaustion and spiritual fatigue, God will give us rest. All He asks is that we come to Him… that we spend a while thinking about Him, meditating on Him, talking to Him, listening in silence, occupying ourselves with Him – totally and thoroughly lost in the hiding place of His presence.
CHUCK SWINDOLL
Rest. We all need it but all too often don’t get enough of it. In the hustle of life, rest can be overlooked, not prioritised, and forgotten.
However, rest is important for renewal and restoration of our mind, body and spirit. A time to connect with God and find strength and encouragement in Him.
As you walk through this week’s readings, our prayer is that you would take time to rest. To refresh and renew your heart and spirit. To seek God in your life and circumstance. To find comfort in His ever-loving arms.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. EPHESIANS 6:10–13 (NIV)

SPIRITUAL ATTACK
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. EPHESIANS 6:12 (ESV)
Many times it’s easy for us to see things from our human perspective and not see the spiritual battle that rages around us.
A spiritual battle that’s still being fought, despite Jesus defeating death on the cross. Satan does not want us to succeed in our mission to make disciples of all nations and to share God’s love with those around us.
When we see situations and circumstances through a spiritual lens, the verse in Ephesians becomes real. So how can we arm ourselves for battle and what are the obstacles we may face?
In this week’s readings, we talk about how we can prepare and fight in the battle for lives and eternity so that when the fight comes to our door, we are ready!

It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat… JOSHUA 6:2–5 (NKJV)

FORMS OF LOVE
What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like. - AUGUSTINE
Love. Over time it’s a word that’s so intricately linked to its romanticised definition that we can miss not only the many forms of love that are around us but more importantly we can miss the enormity of the love God has for us.
Love is not just a feeling you get when you meet ‘the one’ or when you hold your child in your arms for the first time, or when you like an outfit you’re wearing. Love is an action. It bears fruit. It is eternal. It is transformational and it is sacrificial.
As you journey through this week’s readings, spend time reflecting on your own experiences of love – in relationships, in community, in family and in your relationship with God. Over the next week we hope that the word ‘LOVE’ takes on new meaning and depth in your life, a meaning anchored not in romantic feelings or earthly relationships but one that is anchored in your Heavenly Father.

FINDING HOPE IN JOB
A Series by Heidi Wysman
We honor them as our heroes because they remained faithful even while enduring great sufferings. And you have heard of all that Job went through and we can now see that the Lord ultimately treated him with wonderful kindness, revealing how tenderhearted he really is! JAMES 5:11 (TPT)
We often see the book of Job as a study of suffering. But Job is a story of a man’s search for hope in a broken world. The way he dealt with his suffering has been a source of strength ever since people began searching the Bible for answers.
Job is the book in the Bible using the word ‘hope’ the most. It uses the word 19 times. But does he find this hope he seeks? He does. Not in the restoration of his goods, though this does happen. He finds hope in knowing the character of our Almighty God.
Job 1:1 introduces to us the man Job and his character. It says he was ‘blameless and upright, one who feared God, and turned away from evil’. Job’s suffering seems to come out of nowhere and has no connection to his character. But isn’t that just like ‘life’? Most of our grief and pain comes out of nowhere and baffles our sense of justice.
But if you ever doubted what the point of the book of Job is, read James 5:11!
We call it the ‘Book’ of Job. But I prefer to call it a ‘chapter’ in his life…
I pray that by the end of this story your eyes will be open to see the awe, wonder and faithfulness of our holy God.

Job 1:1 introduces to us the man Job and his character. It says he was ‘blameless and upright, one who feared God, and turned away from evil’. Job’s suffering seems to come out of nowhere and has no connection to his character. But isn’t that just like ‘life’? Most of our grief and pain comes out of nowhere and baffles our sense of justice.
But if you ever doubted what the point of the book of Job is, read James 5:11!
We call it the ‘Book’ of Job. But I prefer to call it a ‘chapter’ in his life…
I pray that by the end of this story your eyes will be open to see the awe, wonder and faithfulness of our holy God.

For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. JOB 14:7–9 (ASV)

PRIDE VS HUMILITY
At every step of our Christian development and in every sphere of our Christian discipleship, pride is the greatest enemy and humility, our greatest friend. - JOHN STOTT
Pride and humility. Two words that contradict one another but also in our humanity we really struggle with. At times it can feel like letting go of pride weakens us, and humility makes us small and insignificant. However, that’s not the case. In fact, the Bible tells us that pride is our enemy, and humility is the position of our heart that God desires for us.
As you explore this week’s devotions, our prayer is that God would work a new thing in your life. That He would challenge, encourage, and change you as you seek to be more like Him.

Jesus called them together and said, ‘You know that the rulers of the Gentiles Lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.’ MATTHEW 20:25–28 (NIV)

AW TOZER
The path to seeking God is the journey we are all on through life. Even though we have found Him and accept Him as our Lord and Saviour, the pursuit of God is still an evolving one.
It’s a pursuit of understanding, a deeper relationship, dependence, surrender, and a pursuit of His heart for us, those around us, and the world.
Through this week’s readings, we hope your pursuit of God will be renewed, encouraged, and inspired as we journey together to see His name proclaimed.

As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, ‘Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!’
‘Martha, Martha,’ the Lord answered, ‘you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed – or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.’ LUKE 10:38–42 NIV

PRESENT AND PURPOSEFUL
Wherever you are, be all there. JIM ELLIOT
Life is constantly moving and changing. Sometimes it can feel like there’s a steady stream of distractions flowing around us – work, family, friends, community.
With all the noise, it can be easy to just move from one thing to the next and not be fully present in the moments of our life. In the busyness we can also miss the purpose God may have had for us in those moments and interactions with those around us.
Over the next week, our prayer is that these devotionals will help you develop the practice of being present not only in your day-to-day life, but also with God. Inviting Him to be present with you in all seasons, circumstances and situations. His presence can make an insignificant moment become full of purpose and opportunity.

And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].

PRESENT AND PURPOSEFUL
Wherever you are, be all there. JIM ELLIOT
Life is constantly moving and changing. Sometimes it can feel like there’s a steady stream of distractions flowing around us – work, family, friends, community.
With all the noise, it can be easy to just move from one thing to the next and not be fully present in the moments of our life. In the busyness we can also miss the purpose God may have had for us in those moments and interactions with those around us.
Over the next week, our prayer is that these devotionals will help you develop the practice of being present not only in your day-to-day life, but also with God. Inviting Him to be present with you in all seasons, circumstances and situations. His presence can make an insignificant moment become full of purpose and opportunity.

God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable],

Though the mountains tremble at its roaring. Selah.

THE ROAD TO CHRISTMAS
A 10-day study by Hope Media.
The manger was just the beginning...
Christmas. A time of presents, family, Christmas carols and joy as we celebrate the birth of our Saviour King. However, all too often in this Christmas season, the story finishes in the manger. We don’t stop to consider Mary and Joseph’s visit with their baby to the temple, or the loss of thousands of children due to Herod’s hunt for the Messiah. We sometimes also forget the frantic race to Egypt for Mary and Joseph in order to protect their newborn son.
Over the course of the next 10 days, we will consider the events in the arrival of our Saviour. How the word became flesh, the virgin teenager who became the mother of our Saviour King, her husband’s wrestle with heart and mind, the birth of their son, the one who would rescue us all, the prophesies of Anna and Simeon, the heartbreak of a nation and the Saviour King becoming a refugee.
All these events are woven together in a tapestry that proclaims God’s deep, sacrificial and saving love for us!

When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. ‘Get up,’ he said, ‘take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.’ So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: ‘Out of Egypt I called my son.’ When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: ‘A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.’ MATTHEW 2:13–18 (NIV)

WAITING ON HOPE
A 5-day series written by Bob Mendelsohn from Jews for Jesus
The year: 700 BC
We Jewish people are waiting for the hope of Israel. We have been longing for the Messiah since the announcement in the Garden of Eden of this person to come.
Now Isaiah announces a new prophecy. The Messiah will be a baby, a boy, and He will stabilise the world’s government like Atlas on his own shoulders. He will have new names including Prince of Peace.
Fast forward 700 years to Israel, specifically to Bethlehem. Approximately 0 BC.
What do we see? The baby Jesus in the stable at night, lying in the manger. Perhaps we see His parents, Mary and Joseph kneeling or lying next to Him. Do you see the shepherds rushing from their pasturelands and even the sheep they were tending all joining together to see this newborn King called, in Hebrew, Yeshua?
For this baby boy was the ‘Child who was born to us, the Son who was given to us’, that the prophet Isaiah spoke about hundreds of years earlier. But what do we think of this? What does it mean for this ‘Child to be born to us’? What does the Christmas story really teach us?
Over the next five days, this study will explore the Jewish tradition and prophesy proclaiming the coming of the Messiah. A hope for the whole world, but one waited on for generations.

Do you see the shepherds rushing from their pasturelands and even the sheep they were tending all joining together to see this newborn King called, in Hebrew, Yeshua?
For this baby boy was the ‘Child who was born to us, the Son who was given to us’, that the prophet Isaiah spoke about hundreds of years earlier. But what do we think of this? What does it mean for this ‘Child to be born to us’? What does the Christmas story really teach us?
Over the next five days, this study will explore the Jewish tradition and prophesy proclaiming the coming of the Messiah. A hope for the whole world, but one waited on for generations.

WAITING ON HOPE
A 5-day series written by Bob Mendelsohn from Jews for Jesus
The year: 700 BC
We Jewish people are waiting for the hope of Israel. We have been longing for the Messiah since the announcement in the Garden of Eden of this person to come.
Now Isaiah announces a new prophecy. The Messiah will be a baby, a boy, and He will stabilise the world’s government like Atlas on his own shoulders. He will have new names including Prince of Peace.

A HEART OF THANKSGIVING
We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good because it is good; if bad, because it works in us patience, humility, contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country. CS Lewis
This year has again been challenging. Not only for the world but I think most people would say that they have certainly faced extra challenges this year.
As we head into this holiday season, this season of celebration and remembrance of salvation, we wanted to spend some time in thanksgiving. Thanksgiving for immense blessings, love, grace, mercy and the salvation we have received through our Lord Jesus Christ. To shift our hearts to recognise things in our lives that we can be grateful and thankful for. To have a heavenly perspective.
Our prayer is that through this week’s study you will put the challenges of the past year aside and spend time reflecting on all the things you have to be thankful and grateful to our Heavenly Father for.

ON MISSION
Whatever we do, we must not treat the Great Commission like it’s the Great Suggestion. Charles R Swindoll
As followers of Christ, we are all ‘on mission’ to represent Christ in the world. To be His light, to show His love and to make disciples of all nations.
However, the place or way we seek to live out this mission may look different depending on who you’re talking to.
This week we have five contributors all serving in different ways to see disciples made of all nations. From serving in a foreign country or flying planes in Arnhem Land, working with homeless and lost communities, or simply serving at home – each contributor is bringing Christ to the people around them.
Our prayer is that this week you’ll be encouraged that you too are on mission, wherever you’re placed at the moment, to shine Christ, show His love and make disciples.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.

Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. HEBREWS 12:1–3 (NIV)

THE BODY OF CHRIST
And so it is in the body of Christ. For though we are many, we’ve all been mingled into one body in Christ. This means that we are all vitally joined to one another, with each contributing to the others. ROMANS 12:5 (TPT)
If you attended Sunday School growing up, the term ‘the body of Christ’ is not unfamiliar. However, as we grow up and are walking through the reality of life, it’s easy to forget that we are a part of a body of Christ. And more than that, that we each have a unique role to play.
This week’s readings are intended to remind you that you are a part of the body of Christ, and that God has created you specially to play your unique role within that body.
We hope you are encouraged but also that your passion and endurance are renewed knowing you are united in Christ with your fellow brothers and sister, all striving towards the same goal. To Shine Christ’s light to the world.

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. 1 CORINTHIANS 12:18–20 (ESV)

THE BODY OF CHRIST
And so it is in the body of Christ. For though we are many, we’ve all been mingled into one body in Christ. This means that we are all vitally joined to one another, with each contributing to the others. ROMANS 12:5 (TPT)
If you attended Sunday School growing up, the term ‘the body of Christ’ is not unfamiliar. However, as we grow up and are walking through the reality of life, it’s easy to forget that we are a part of a body of Christ. And more than that, that we each have a unique role to play.
This week’s readings are intended to remind you that you are a part of the body of Christ, and that God has created you specially to play your unique role within that body.

WALKING IN THE WILDERNESS
A series by Heidi Wysman
Mountaintops are fun but we can’t stay there forever. We’ve all got to go down into the valley and be led into the wilderness sooner or later. And most of us will go back to the wilderness many times.
But the wilderness doesn’t have to be a frightening place. If you look only with your natural vision, the wilderness can seem an unlikely place to find God. But odd as it may seem to us, when we are most filled with the Holy Spirit, we are most likely to be led into the wilderness. The Spirit himself will lead us into the wilderness. He will never leave us while we are in the wilderness, and He will lead us out.
Through this Bible plan, you’ll discover that the wilderness can be a place of beauty, a place of empowerment, a place where God is.

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. PROVERBS 3:5–6 (AMPC)

… Prepare in the wilderness the way of the Lord [clear away the obstacles]; make straight and smooth in the desert a highway for our God! Every valley shall be lifted and filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked and uneven shall be made straight and level, and the rough places a plain.

APPROACHING CHALLENGING SITUATIONS
We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. - Chuck Swindoll
I don’t think anyone could say life is easy. It’s filled with twists and turns and unexpected tangents. Many times, these twists and turns are challenging. They have the ability to derail us and cause us to focus on the problem and our own issues rather than seek God in those situations.
Through our readings on Challenging Situations our contributors will encourage us to shift our perspective when in the midst of challenging situations, and to remember that God is not overwhelmed, that He is with us and that He is in control.
Our prayer is that when you face challenging situations in the future you will find rest and comfort in the arms of our Heavenly Father.

FLOURISH
Planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. PSALM 92:13 (NIV)
flourish, verb:
- (of a living organism) grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way, especially as the result of a particularly congenial environment.
Did you know that God created us all to flourish? From Genesis through to Revelation, His heart has been for His people – you – to flourish.
However, we know that, as a result of sin, the world is not as God intended it to be. The environment we’re living in is not as He intended it to be. So how do we flourish in our walk with Christ in the midst of the brokenness, pain and setbacks we all may experience?
How can we grow and develop to be all He created us to be when our environment is not as it should be?
These are the questions we will tackle in this week’s topic. Our prayer is that you will be encouraged and inspired as you see God’s great desire and heart for you to flourish in the world around you.
