Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 1:19

Welcome to Thriving Family's 28-day Advent Activity Calendar! Don't miss out on this opportunity to explore the true meaning of Christmas and draw closer together as a family! These parent-child activities have been created to help you keep this Christmas season focused on Christ!

What’s in a name? The many beautiful names of God reveal something about who he is and why he functions the way he does. Names of God – specifically written to help us focus on our Lord during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons – walks us through the study of six of the names God has given himself. Time is spent looking at the truths these names reveal about God, and how this knowledge should practically impact our everyday decisions, emotions, and relationships. “For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?” ~ J.I. Packer. Come join us as we get to know God more fully and spend time adoring him for who he is. God shows himself to us through his names because of his great love for us. We, in turn, have the privilege of loving, worshipping and resting in Him on an even deeper level during this reflective time of year. Journal with us as we go through this study for the next six weeks…reading and writing what God speaks into our hearts.

Christmas and Easter—two meaningful seasons help us celebrate Jesus’ birth and resurrection. Now make the days in between special, too, with One on One: 100 Days with Jesus. Walk with Jesus in Advent (30 days), in His Ministry (35 days), in His Passion (35 days). Begin during Advent—finish around Easter. Be inspired every day to know and love Jesus more as He connects with people, one on one.

Exploring Scripture can align ourselves with truth and help us grow in our relationship with God. The devotionals in this plan are not designed to unpack the meaning of passages for you, but to help guide exploring Scripture personally. We will be journeying through the Bible with Jesus by taking 30 days to follow this Scripture reading plan.

Do you ever wish you were stronger in your faith? In this 30-day devotional with Ann White, we’ll explore the courageous spirits of women of the bible, women in history, and women of our world today whose lives embolden us to have strong faith in God – no matter the twists and turns life throws our way. God wants you to be brave. You can be strong and courageous!

Distance can make the heart grow fonder, but it can also challenge a marriage. Every marriage needs commitment and devotion to grow strong. But strengthening your relationship with a spouse whose job demands extended absences requires creativity to relate to each other during those times. In this plan, learn how six women in the Bible overcame life’s greatest relational challenges through faith, love, and devotion.

This twelve-part plan can be read alone, with a group, or with your family! Each month, you will dive into a new part of the unified story that leads to Jesus discovering the heart of God for the whole world. This month, we'll explore Biblical texts from Daniel all the way to the Gospels! Let's dive into Part eight of twelve!

This 30 day devotional examines one Christmas carol each day and reflects on how that song helps us to better understand and follow Jesus. Most carols are familiar to us…we sing them every year…but do we really grasp what they are talking about? In other words, when we look at “The Christmas Carols,” do we hear the hope of Christmas past, present, and future?

Come and learn about the Holy Spirit! Discover the incredible work of the third person of the Godhead. You will grow in your knowledge of His person and His ministry as you meditate upon Him for this 31-day reading plan.
