A 5-day reading plan on Jacob’s dream at Bethel: how God meets us in our mess, gives us a new name, and shows us Jesus, the stairway to heaven.

Jacob ran from home a liar, sure he’d ruined everything. But God met him at Bethel anyway. What makes a place God’s house? God shows up there.

The moment you try to add your own merit to what Christ has already done, you are subtracting from the cross. Rest today in the finished work of Jesus.

God’s gift of grace opens up a special type of freedom for a Christian. It empowers us to live by grace, because an immeasurable amount of undeserved grace has been given to us first.

The lesson is not that your circumstances will be comfortable. The lesson is that your circumstances do not limit God. When you cannot see a way forward, God is already commanding the provision.

Read and reflect on a portion of Scripture, devotional thought, and application questions based on Romans 1-3 and the gospel of grace.

Romans 1, 2, and 3 together form one of the most complete and breathtaking presentations of the gospel ever written. To read only the first chapter is like walking into a courtroom, hearing the charges read aloud, and then walking out before the verdict is delivered.

After His resurrection, Jesus didn't abandon the disciples who had abandoned Him. He met them at the familiar Sea of Galilee, doing what they knew best.

There's something profoundly moving about second chances, especially when they come after our most spectacular failures. Let’s follow the story of Jesus appearing to his disciples by the Sea of Galilee after his resurrection.

Perhaps what seems like senseless suffering today is actually preparation for the moment when you see His face and everything finally, beautifully makes sense.
