Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to John 15:12

All relationships will come across some challenges at one point or another. When you’re experiencing a hard time with a friend, the best thing to ask yourself is, “What would Jesus do?” By following Jesus’ example, we can respond with grace and love. In this 5-day devotional, we share how to navigate challenges in Christian friendships and relationships.

Questions: When it comes to God, we all have them. Given our comparison-driven culture, one of the most personal questions we may find ourselves asking is, “Why does God love me?” Or maybe even, “How could He?” Over the course of this plan, you’ll engage with a total of 26 Scripture passages—each one speaking the truth of God’s unconditional love for you.

In this plan we will look at Jesus’ teaching on prayer in the Sermon on the Mount. Part five of eight in the "Jesus, I Want to Love You" Series, focusing on knowing and loving Jesus more. These plans can be done in any order. See also "Jesus, I Want to Love You" (companion prayer) by Thistlebend Ministries.

This Bible Plan will explain all about the secret power of grace.
