Join us as we take a 52-week journey through the Bible.
Every Monday through Friday we’ll provide a Scripture selection from both the Old and New Testament. You can choose to read both selections each day to read through the Bible or just the one selection to read through the New Testament. A Daily Devotion based on that day’s New Testament reading will be posted here. These messages will challenge you to grow deeper in your Christian Faith and walk closer with Jesus Christ.
On Saturday, review the scriptures you read the past week and reflect on what they mean to you and ask God how you can more fully apply His Word in your life. Then on Sunday be certain to join us for worship as you praise God for all that He has revealed to you during the week and encourage other believers in their journey with God and be encouraged by them.

Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength. Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens. For this reason take up the full

Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk - not as unwise people but as wise - making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. And don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless living, but be filled by the Spirit (Ephesians 5:15-18).
It’s been said that we live in a world that honors machines

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things (Galatians 5:22-23).
Paul tells the Galatians, I say, then, walk by the Spirit (v16a). He also states, If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit (v25). But how do we know if we are walkin

But now, since you know God, or rather have become known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elements? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again? You are observing special days, months, seasons, and years. I am fearful for you, that perhaps my labor for you has been wasted. I beg you, brothers and sisters: Become as I am, for I also

Are you so foolish? After beginning by the Spirit, are you now finishing by the flesh? Did you experience so much for nothing—if in fact it was for nothing? So then, does God give you the Spirit and work miracles among you by your doing the works of the law? Or is it by believing what you heard - just like Abraham who believed God, and it was credited to him for righ

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he stood condemned. For he regularly ate with the Gentiles before certain men came from James. However, when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, because he feared those from the circumcision party. Then the rest of the Jews joined his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their

Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to torment me so that I would not exalt myself. Concerning this, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it would leave me.
