Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Acts 3:19

An exciting look at the birth of the early church, through the eyes of Luke, the author of the gospel of Luke. This series combines video clips from the movie, The Book of Acts, with thought-provoking questions for reflection, discussion and practical life application

Life is confusing and overwhelming at times. We wish there was a simple answer to our questions and problems, so why do we resist when people say, “What you need is Jesus”? Truth? “Jesus” isn’t just a church answer to church questions. As members of the early church discovered, Jesus is the answer you’re looking for. He really is what you need. Period.

All stories redeemable. All brokenness repairable. All addictions breakable. Using the acronym BREATHE, Keith Repult provides practical tools for reflection, hope, and help for those drowning in the pain of addiction. This plan is a reminder that we’ve never gone too far to be made new by the big grace of God. Keith’s powerful story of finding freedom from addiction and practical tools are found in the book, Just Breathe.  

(Part one of a four part journey through the Books of Acts.) Even in (and especially in?) hard times, God is present and is working to build His Church. We can find encouragement in this. When circumstances force us to pivot, we don’t have to lose heart - God is with us.

The book of Acts shows us how God used the disciples in the days after Jesus’ ascension to impact the world with the power of the Gospel message. We hope as you read, you’ll realize we are also called to be witnesses to the gospel of Jesus Christ and empowered with the Holy Spirit to go into this world.

Because Peter and the other apostles knew Jesus not only as Savior, but also as teacher, leader, mentor, and friend, they became effective leaders in the early Church drawing continually on Jesus’ words, the example He set, and the experience they gained under His earthly leadership to advance God’s Kingdom by advancing the Gospel. 

The book of Acts reveals the power of God at work through the Apostles and other individuals who would turn the world upside down with the Christian movement. This study will help you understand the importance of the Holy Spirit at work in your life and recognize that God’s children can do the extraordinary work of Jesus Christ when yielded to his will and power.

Join us over the next 21 days as we earnestly pray with thanksgiving and experience God in a new, personal, and powerful way! Philippians 4:6 says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation by prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your request to God."

This 21-day plan through chapters 1-9 you will see it’s not merely just an account of what happened, but rather what is still happening to this day around the world through the power of The Holy Spirit. In Acts, you will get to see the power of the Holy Spirit on display in the lives of the men and women who followed Jesus.

You are invited to participate in the Homecoming 21-day prayer and fasting devotional. Be sure to invite others to join you on this incredible journey!
