Our Next Study

40 Days Through the New Testament: Knowing the Savior Who Steadies Our Uncertainty

Join us for this eight-week study — starting January 26 in the FREE First 5 mobile app.

Experience Jesus. Embrace Hope. Enter the new year with confidence.

Have you ever felt caught in the “in-between” — waiting for an answer, longing for hope, unsure of what’s next? We all know what it’s like to wrestle with unknowns and wonder if God will come through. God’s people knew this feeling too. For 400 years, they waited in quiet expectation for the fulfillment of His promise. And then, in the perfect moment, Jesus came — proof that God always keeps His word.

The New Testament is living evidence: God does what He says He will do.

That’s the heartbeat of 40 Days Through the New Testament. This study will help you start the year with renewed faith, fresh perspective, and steady hope in the Savior who never changes. And it’s yours as thanks for your special year-end gift to help others do the same!

What’s more, every dollar you give before December 31 will be doubled up to $87,500 thanks to our year-end match.

Here’s what our First 5 friends are saying…

I just went through the study of Genesis. All I can say is WOW! I have been reading the Bible for more years than I would like to say, and your study brought out so many truths I missed along the years. Thank you so much for the work you do putting these studies together. I thank God He showed me your page so many years ago. I pray He blesses you all as much as you have blessed us!

First 5 has gotten me on a path of studying God’s Word. It keeps me in the Word every day, not just reading words. With the help of your writers, I get meaning and understanding.

I love your app so much. I’m 69 years old and have had the goal of reading through the entire Bible for years. In 2019, I found your app. I started with the New Testament and then went on to the Old Testament. I thought I knew my Bible. Your app has introduced me to so many things. The first thing I do every morning is go out on my patio and read First 5. Then I pray. My life has been enriched so much. Thank you!
