Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Mark 1:1

The Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—are four accounts of one extraordinary life. Each book tells the story of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These books aren't fairytales, fiction, or legend; they are gospel truth. Our eternal future hinges on whether or not they are trustworthy testimonies of the events of Jesus’s life and accurate records of His teaching. Join Rebecca McLaughlin in Navigating Gospel Truth, a 5-day study on faithfully reading the accounts of Jesus’s life. Through this journey, your confidence in the truth of Scripture will be renewed and you'll gain a more captivating view of the Savior. And along the way, you'll acquire skills that will help you become a better student of all of Scripture.

All is Calm, All is Bright focuses on the Prince of Peace and celebrates the Light of the World. Short devotionals take you from the Old Testament longing for the Messiah through the fulfillment of God's promise in the story of Jesus' birth found in the gospels. Each day's reading brings you one step nearer the heart of Christmas: Immanuel, God with us.

The Lent Project is an initiative of Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture and the Arts. Each daily devotion includes a portion of Scripture, a devotional, a prayer, a work of visual art or a video, a piece of music, and a poem plus brief commentaries on the artworks and artists. The Seven Last Words of Christ refers to the seven short phrases uttered by Jesus on the cross, as gathered from the four Christian gospels. This devotional project connects word, image, voice and song into daily meditations on these words.

Who is Jesus? Philosophy, literature, art, politics -- all of them have been profoundly impacted by the life and teaching of this one man. And Christians call him Savior -- the Son of God. Jesus is by any estimation one of the most influential figures in human history. So who is He? We’re here in Mark -- to find out what the Bible says about it.

Do you ever feel that Mark skipped a crucial part of Jesus’s story? Without telling of Jesus’s miraculous birth, can we still see the reality that God became a person? The answer is yes. In this video Bible study, created in partnership between RightNow Media and Francis Chan, Francis asks us, “Have you really considered the immensity of that statement—of the event in which God became a man?”

Our calling is not to do something or to go somewhere; rather we are called to Someone. In this study based on Mark’s Gospel, we journey with Jesus and his disciples to see what it means to be on mission for God. Explore what it means to be called by God and how to live out that calling in your everyday life.

Deeper into Scripture is a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God’s Word daily and deeply. To accomplish this we have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times. Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered. This repetitive reading and instruction takes us deeply into the Word of God and draws us closer to Him.

Life doesn’t always go the way we expected. You pray with faith, but God doesn’t do what you asked. You seek Him but don’t feel His presence. You’re going through pain, but your cries for relief seem to go unanswered. This Life.Church Bible Plan will guide you through Scriptures to read When God Doesn’t Make Sense.

This 7-day reading plan invites readers to go the way of the Cross with Jesus as chronicled by Mark, a close disciple of the Apostle Peter. Starting with a call to follow Jesus and carrying through to His death, the reader will be visually transported into these important moments in Jesus’ history. Join with God on the way of the cross in this video-based, 7-day reading plan and allow it to revolutionize the way you engage with God’s Word.

Jesus made bold claims, both in who He was and what His mission was on the Earth. Journey with us through the Gospel of Mark and take a closer look at His proclamations and promises. Refresh your heart with the hope of salvation through these seven daily devotionals.
