No single life in the history of mankind has had a greater impact on this world, than Jesus Christ. To millions of followers, He is known in a variety of titles: Master, Teacher, Savior, Redeemer, Prophet, and the Son of God. Jesus is the Living Word, the Truth, the Light, and Way. He is the long-awaited Messiah, who came as the fulfillment of the entire Old Testament Law. Now is the time to discover for yourself that Jesus truly is Who He says He is.

Your life is about to change forever, as you actively engage in this forty-day trek focused on personally encountering Jesus! The Bible, in its entirety, is the story of Jesus. While it is a book filled with history, poetry, prophecy, and the good news of the Gospels, which capture the story of Jesus after His birth; it literally shares the plan for humanity's redemption through God's mercy and grace. The Holy Scriptures dramatically point to the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us. Simply stated, God's Word intricately defines the divinely appointed purpose to bring fallen humanity back into relationship with the Creator - for all eternity. Modern culture tries to convince you that God will only love you if you change.

It is for that very reason that Jesus came to serve as the sacrifice necessary to save your soul.

Christ came not to destroy the Law, but that through Him the Law would be fulfilled.
