About this journey

A journey is a short, themed path through Scripture, one day at a time: a passage to read, a short reflection, a question to journal on and a prayer.

Start at day 1 and go at your own pace — your progress and private journal are saved on this device and synced if you sign in. A “Beta” tag means a pastor has not reviewed the journey yet.

Harvest & Thanksgiving

Harvest is a time to thank God for the food, work and provision he gives, and to share with those who have little. Over seven days, learn from Scripture how God's people offered their firstfruits with joy, remembered the poor and the stranger, and gave because Christ first gave himself for them.
