Week One
Christ Our SAvior
As we focus on the life of Christ, this week’s theme is Christ Our Savior, which forms part of the fourfold gospel of Jesus, a cornerstone of our denomination. God’s plan for salvation commenced immediately following the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden. The consequence of sin is death; however, it was not God’s intention for humanity to endure eternal death. Out of His love for the world, He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die on our behalf, allowing us to attain salvation and reconciliation with Him. Salvation can only be obtained through Jesus Christ, as there is no other name by which humanity is saved. Furthermore, our salvation is not achieved through good works, but rather through the righteousness of Jesus, imparted by faith and through the grace of God.
Week Two
Christ Our Sanctifier
As we focus on the life of Christ, this week’s theme is Christ Our Sanctifier. We believe that our purpose was determined even before our formation in the womb. This is conveyed in Jeremiah 1:5: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart.” Additionally, 1 Peter 2:9 states that we have been brought out of darkness into light to proclaim His excellencies and become His chosen people, a royal priesthood, and His possession. As adherents of Christ’s teachings, it is crucial for us to recognize that God has a specific purpose for our lives. In fulfilling this purpose, He sanctifies us through the work of the Holy Spirit within us. We are set apart for holy living in this fallen world and are equipped to carry out His work.
Week Three
Christ Our Healer
As we focus on the life of Christ, this week’s theme is Christ Our Healer. God promises healing in both aspects—physical and spiritual. At times, He provides immediate physical healing to encourage gratitude towards God, which can lead to a deeper spiritual relationship, resulting in spiritual healing. Conversely, there are instances where spiritual healing is prioritized, altering the individual’s perspective on pain, and enabling them to endure while awaiting God’s physical intervention. During His time on Earth, Jesus healed many individuals and often remarked that their faith had healed them. Therefore, it is essential to pray with expectant faith. Ultimately, it is at God’s discretion whether He grants miraculous healing or offers the grace for endurance. When Paul implored God three times to remove the thorn from his flesh, God responded, “My grace is sufficient for you, and my strength is made perfect in your weakness” (2 Cor. 12:9).
Week Four
Christ our Coming KING
As we focus on the life of Christ, this week’s theme is Christ Our Coming King. In John 14:3, Jesus informed His disciples, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” This passage underscores the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Additionally, believers are assured that they will join Him during His millennial reign upon His return as King. This is considered an honor for those who have trusted in Him and accepted Him as their Savior. The anticipated return of our King provides hope for eternal communion with Him. It remains unknown when this day will arrive, for it is known only by the Heavenly Father. Therefore, as followers, it is essential to remain prepared for the King’s arrival and to evangelize, spreading the gospel globally. Upon His return, He will act as the righteous judge, delivering rewards based on individual deeds.
Week Five
Christ and His Mission
As we focus on the life of Christ, this week’s theme is Christ and His Mission. The primary mission of Jesus was to save humankind from sin and eternal condemnation by offering Himself as the atoning sacrifice. As part of His mission, He extended His sacrifice to include reconciliation, drawing people back to the Father, transforming them into the likeness of His Son, and revealing the hope of glory. A significant aspect of His mission is that He invites His disciples and believers to partner with Him in carrying out His work in the world, providing opportunities for unreached individuals to hear the good news. Jesus is a missional figure who sends people to mobilize the presence of the gospel worldwide. We are grateful that God has given The Christian and Missionary Alliance the desire and passion to send workers across the globe to spread the gospel to many unreached people groups.
Week Six
Christ and His Church
As we focus on the life of Christ, this week’s theme is Christ and His Church. In Matthew 16:18, Jesus stated, “I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” The Church represents the collective Body of Believers unified by His love and empowered by His Spirit to witness for Him and execute the mission entrusted to us by Jesus. Recognizing the significance of this unity, adversaries attempt to undermine the mission through deception and conflict. Jesus calls for strength, courage, and unity to overcome these challenges. He has established a clear purpose for His Church, inviting believers to be the salt and light of the earth. It is essential that our actions shine before others, so they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. Let us persist in collaborating with our King as He builds His Church.
