Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Ephesians 5:5

There is much today by way of events, holidays, news reports, or situations that draw our mind toward thinking about evil. All occurrences of evil can serve us beneficially as believers, not in the evil represented , but in how we are reminded . Remembering and remaining aware that evil and sin are invisible and visible realities help us to engage fully in the Hope of Christ. 

How would you describe your faith journey?  Is it a well-established fire?  Is it warming? Comforting? Does it push away darkness?  Or is merely a spark? Not quite yet a flame?  Hardly casting a shadow.  These guided audio meditations will help recognize a spark from an encounter with God.  And watch the spark turn to flame.  Pushing out fear and darkness.

Often, the bravest thing you can do is continue to make it through the day, even when you have little hope for tomorrow. Have you ever been there?  The theme of these audio-guided meditations is finding hope over the horizon.  Day 1 will remind you of the anchoring hope of God.  Day 2 considers God overtaking fear.  And Day 3 is finding hope in divine promises.

Do you learn more effectively by hearing, feeling, or doing? I pray these meditations will help you reflect on how to come to know the love of God actively. Knowing God by vigorously giving and living as Christ gave and lived. Not only noticing the needs of others but energetically giving and loving. Living your life listening to God and playing an active role in being His chosen.

This Plan gives preteens an introduction to the book of Ephesians. Each day includes videos specifically designed for kids ages 7-12 to help them engage with scripture in a digital way and develop a habit of a daily devotion time all their own. Kids Bible Experience partnered with Church of the Highlands and OneHope to create this plan.

Life is like a battle – it's tough and it often feels like we’re losing. But God wants us to walk in victory, because the battle’s already been won. Life is sometimes a fight; but if you’re a child of God, you’re fighting from a place of strength – you’re not weak, you're strong; not because of you but because of Jesus. Let’s fight like God wants us to fight!

This plan will explore what the letter of Ephesians can teach us in four areas. 1) WHO GOD IS: God’s character and nature 2) WHO WE ARE: the identity of humanity and/or believers 3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines 4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action

Gratitude has a powerful effect on your attitude and perspective. Dig into what Scripture teaches about the role of thankfulness in the Christian life. This 4-day plan by Lindsay Few will help you cultivate a thankful heart and a culture of gratitude in your marriage.

As believers we are a part of God’s new humanity, and as a result we are called to walk in distinctiveness. We are called to walk in love, rejecting the idolatry of disordered sexuality. We are called to walk in humility, rejecting the idolatry of power. Walking in integrity, we reject the idolatry of success. And rejecting the power of greed, we are called to walk in simplicity. 

Of all the apostles, Paul’s conversion/calling story was arguably the most notable and miraculous, his assignment to take the Gospel to the Gentiles the most unique, and the tangible results of his obedience the most impressive by human standards. Even so, Paul did not operate as a lone wolf, set apart from the pack and self-sufficient. On the contrary, this hero of the Christian faith understood the essential role his brothers and sisters played in his life and stayed connected to them even when his assignment to preach and live truth called him away for long stretches of time.
