We experience love in all kinds of ways! We may encounter romantic love with a boyfriend or girlfriend, but what about the love we share with our friends? It’s also different from the love we have for our siblings or parents. How can one word express such a broad range of emotions? It can’t. In this Bible Reading Plan, we’ll look at 4 words from the Greek language that represent different types of love and how the Bible encourages us to express it.

For the next couple of days we'll dive deep into different types of love. Love that's enduring, unconditional, deep, and immeasurable. The greatest love you and I could ever receive, the love of God.

In this plan, we’ll explore the often misunderstood word joy, and we’ll look at how Jesus viewed and prioritized it in his own life.

The Bible teaches “honour your father and mother” and Father’s Day is a time to do just that. We can honour our fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, teachers, friends, and the special men in your life. Learn about Abraham, one of the most famous fathers in the Bible. But most importantly learn that we have a Heavenly Father. We are part of a much bigger family, the family of God.

The story of the Prodigal Son is one of love, grace and forgiveness. We desperately need to understand that God loves us not for what we have done or have not done; He loves us for who we are! The Father is waiting to embrace you with open arms today ... will you respond to His love?

Forgiveness is a process. It takes time, costly and hard. It is restoring of relationships by releasing a painful past with an attitude of love. Nothing keeps us in bondage to the past as much as our unwillingness to forgive. Refusal to forgive leads to bitterness of the soul. Forgiveness is freedom from bitterness and the propensity to get even. It reopens the future of new beginnings – a restart.
