Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Ephesians 5:4

Rehashing the past is trying to change something that has already happened. Rehearsing the future is trying to control something that hasn’t yet happened. Receiving the present is choosing to experience what is occurring here and now. In this 7-day Bible Plan, Jeanne Stevens helps you practice experiencing the peace and presence of God in the present with God.

Let me ask you this—if you’ve read three books on singleness, attended two seminars on Christian courtship, and committed to one month of prayer for your spouse, does that make you ready for a relationship? It’s so easy to reach that “golden age,” apply the 3-2-1 principle above and think you’re ready. . . but what if I could show you how to KNOW you’re ready?

You said “Yes” to God’s call to the nations. Nothing will affect the success of a short-term mission team more than the level to which each member is prepared in their heart. This seven-day plan from Jack Hempfling’s 40-day devotional book by the same name will help prepare you for that short or long-term mission assignment and the circumstances that only God knows are coming your way.

It’s easy to put our relationship with God on autopilot, but God has more for you! A life of devotion to Christ always results in growth. Out of the overflow of what God does in our lives, we long to follow Him wherever He leads. If you’re ready to breathe new life into your walk with God, and to see fear replaced with faith, this plan is for you!

Jesus offers abundant life to those who follow him, but many Christians are stuck in the try-harder life instead. This seven-day study beckons readers into the garden and invites them to listen for the heart of God. Just as plants thrive under the care of a skilled gardener, we’ll move from surviving to thriving as we embrace God’s good gifts designed to help us flourish.

Sometimes we need a recalibration, a re-alignment in our relationship with God. We believe that right now God wants to recalibrate his people into fresh, authentic and real relationship with Him. Come on the journey with us here with this devotional, and also with our partner podcast 'generation ministries' wherever you get your podcasts.

Drawing on James Spencer's book titled Useful to God: Eight Lessons from the Life of D. L. Moody, this Bible Plan examines eight characteristics evident in the Scriptures and in the life of 19th century evangelist Dwight Moody (e.g., surrendered, prayerful, humbled, undistracted, and studious). A free guide including these reflections along with activities and additional devotional content is also available for download from D. L. Moody Center.

When the Bible is confusing, Through the Word explains it with clear and concise audio guides for every chapter. Here in Ephesians, we learn who we are and how to walk it out. We are adopted by the King and heirs to the Kingdom. And yet it’s all grace. We don’t earn it, but we can walk worthy of it: in unity, humility, and love. Something we call grace swagger.

When we pray following the Bible text, we open ourselves to the topics that God chooses. This guide contains instructions and questions that help us after reading God’s Word written in the Epistle to the Ephesians to accept the Word personally and continue talking with God. In this way, the eternal Word of God enters our everyday life and changes both us and the circumstances in which we live.

People in the Bible struggled with significant issues much as we do today. Each of the stories in this 10-day plan taken from the NIV Celebrate Recovery Study Bible illustrates a particular recovery issue from the lives of characters in the Bible. Gain insights from the life of Esther, Moses, Eve, Samson, Peter, and others for your own recovery journey.
