The villagers loved the big, red tractor. But it didn’t work very well. Even with everyone helping to push and pull the tractor, they couldn’t get much done. Then Farmer Dave discovered a long-lost book in a dusty attic. Could it really change everything? Farmer Dave thinks so. But the other villagers aren’t so sure. The Big Red Tractor and His Little Village is a contemporary parable sharing a timeless truth: God has a special purpose for you and you can fulfill it through the help of his Spirit. It’s a powerful lesson told for little hearts.

Forgotten God:
Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit

Pastor Francis Chan invites you to understand, embrace, and follow the Holy Spirit’s direction in our lives. We pray in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit—the Helper—so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ. Unfortunately, today’s church admired the gift but neglected to open it for far too long, and now we’re reaping the disastrous results.

Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God

“Sometimes I feel like when I make decisions that are remotely biblical, people who call themselves Christians are the first to criticize and say I’m crazy, that I’m taking the Bible too literally, or that I’m not thinking about my family’s well-being. Why is it that the story of someone who has actually done what Jesus commands resonates deeply with us, but we then assume we could never do anything so radical or intense? Or why do we call it radical when, to Jesus, it is simply the way it is? The way it should be?”
