  • Day 18 - Experiencing Life Together
    Real fellowship is so much more than just showing up at services. It is experiencing life together. It includes unselfish loving, honest sharing, practical serving, sacrificial giving, sympathetic comforting, and all the other "one another" commands found in the New Testament. There are many other benefits you will experience in being a part of a small group committed to real fellowship. It is an essential part of your Christian life that you cannot overlook. "Share each other's troubles and problems, and in this way obey the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2 (NLT) Question to Consider: What one step can I take today to connect with another believer at a more genuine, heart-to-heart level?

  • Day 17 - A Place to Belong
    The person who says, "I don't need the church," is either arrogant or ignorant. The church is so significant that Jesus died on the cross for it. "Christ loved the church and gave his life for it." Verse to Remember: "In Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others." Romans 12:5 (NIV) Question to Consider: Does my level of involvement in my local church demonstrate that I love and am committed to God's family?

  • Day 16 - What Matters Most

    Often we act as if relationships are something to be squeezed into our schedule. We talk about finding time for our children or making time for people in our lives. That gives the impression that relationships are just a part of our lives along with many other tasks. But God says relationships are what life is all about.

    Point to Ponder: Life is all about love.

    Verse to Remember: "The entire law is summed up in a single command: Love Your Neighbor as yourself." Galatians 5:14 (NIV)

    Question to Consider: Honestly, are relationships my first priority? How can I ensure that they are?

  • Day 15 - Formed for God's Family

    God wants a family, and he created you to be a part of it. This is God's second purpose for your life, which he planned before you were born. Your spiritual family is even more important than your physical family because it will last forever.

    Verse to Remember: "His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ." Ephesians 1:5 a (NLT)

    Question to Consider: How can I start treating other believers like members of my own family?

  • Day 14 - When God Seems Distant

    It is easy to worship God when things are going great in your life-when he has provided food, friends, family, health, and happy situations. But circumstances are not always pleasant. How do you worship God then? What do you do when God seems a million miles away?

    Point to Ponder: God is real, no matter how I feel.

    Verse to Remember: "For God has said, `I will never leave you; I will never abandon you."' Hebrews 13:5 (TEV)

    Question to Consider: How can you stay focused on God's presence, especially when He feels distant?

  • Day 13 - Worship that Pleases God
    God is not interested in halfhearted commitment, partial obedience, and the leftovers of your time and money. He desires your full devotion, not little bits of your life. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." Mark 12:30 (NIV) Question to Consider: Which is more pleasing to God right now - my public worship or my private worship? What will I do about this?

  • Day 12: Developing your Friendship with God
    Like any friendship, you must work at developing your friendship with God. It won't happen by accident. It takes desire, time, and energy. You are as close to God as you choose to be. "Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you." James 4:8a (NLT) Question to Consider: What practical choices will you make today in order to grow closer to God?

  • Day 11 - Becoming Best Friends with God
    Your relationship to God has many different aspects: God is your Creator and Maker, Lord and Master, Judge, Redeemer, Father, Savior, and much more.' But the most shocking truth is this: Almighty God yearns to be your Friend! "Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence him." Psalm 25:14a (LB) Question to Consider: What can I do to remind myself to think about God and talk to him more often throughout the day?
