•   What should you do before making the most-important lifelong commitment?
•   What does the Holy Spirit help us understand?
•   What tools do we have available to help us grow?
•   What should we be doing as we move ever closer to the return of Jesus Christ?
•   What wonderful relationship does God have planned for us?

These new lessons include links to many helpful related resources and provide practical “Apply Now” tips. The series was researched and written by Mike Bennett, United Church of God editorial content manager.

This new series on the process of Christian conversion and growth caps a year-long effort to post practical, hope-filled lessons on a wide variety of topics, from worry to God’s will, from the armor of God to the Great Tribulation, and from substance abuse to dealing with difficult people.
