OCTOBER 19–25, 2026

A Life Built on Jesus

What does it mean to build your life on Jesus—not simply know about Him?

All lessons are open now so you can prepare ahead. Today in the Word on the home page still follows the daily study.

Rooted

Understand who Jesus is, what He has done, and how to begin walking with Him.

Growing

Recognize where belief needs to become daily obedience.

Equipped

Begin with the character and responsibility of serving others.

Facilitator guide

For facilitators only. This is planning guidance, not three daily broadcasts and not a set of recordings. Each day, the Growing passage serves as the shared main passage for any daily YouTube gathering; Rooted offers foundation support for newer believers; Equipped offers leadership application for those who serve.
