Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 13:2

“BRING” is the third & final guideword in our 3-part series for living as a Kingdom-building Christian. Mostly, your Christian life will consist of being a good example (“NICER”) and loving others (“BLESS”), yet we are instructed in the Bible always to be ready to explain the hope that we have. In this reading plan, we look at when and how to share the gospel's good news to help build God's Kingdom here on earth, easily and without fear. Be blessed as you read this plan to equip yourself.

Near the end of his life, John was the last of the living apostles and wrote a story about Jesus. It’s his testimony of who Jesus is, what he said, what he did, and who he claimed to be.

It is part of an ongoing series through John.

We often wonder about our purpose in life. Jesus does not call us because we know how to do everything. Our primary call is to follow Him—ministry is an overflow of our daily walk with God.
