Summary
In today’s devotional, we’re going to examine what it means to have a life in Christ and the power of his resurrection. We think of resurrection primarily as the specific time when Jesus returns, and begins the process of finally making all things right. But the reality is that God invites us into a lifestyle of resurrection every day. Every day he wants to make us new, to renew us, transform us, and mold and fashion us more into his likeness. May God build within us a powerful culture of resurrection today as we draw near to his transformative love and presence.
Our Scripture for today comes from John 11:25, and today's worship is Resurrecting by Elevation Worship feat Mack Brock.

If you’ve wrestled with making Bible study a consistent habit of spiritual formation, A Light Unto My Path will inspire and encourage you to drink more deeply from the unending well that is the Bible.
A Light Unto My Path will answer these 7 critical questions:
- Why do we read the Bible?
- How was the Bible created?
- Why do we need to interpret the Bible?
- What is the Bible about?
- What are the best tools for studying the Bible?
- What can I learn from others?
- How can I learn for myself?
I love that the goal of this book is not to learn more about the Bible (even though you will), but to better understand the Bible as one of the primary ways God seeks to have a relationship with us today.
