We all have emotions that compete for control of our lives. And those emotions can get us in trouble when we let them be the boss of us. In this 7-day reading plan, Andy Stanley shares a scriptural “how-to” about saying no to destructive emotions. We need to monitor our hearts—not just our behavior—to prevent emotions like guilt, envy, fear, and anger from bossing us around.

You're Not the Boss of Me

Lent: a 40-day season of reflection and repentance. It’s a nice thought, but what does practicing Lent actually look like? Over the next 7 days, discover five spiritual habits you can start doing during Lent to help you prepare your heart for Resurrection Sunday—and beyond.

Make Space for What Matters: 5 Spiritual Habits for Lent

Lent for Everyone is a devotional created and written by N.T. (Tom) Wright. For each day of Lent, there is a reading chosen from the Gospel of Matthew, plus a reflection by Wright. These readings have grown out of a project encouraging Lent reading in Northern England. This is the second in a three-volume series based on the Revised Common Lectionary of the Church of England.

Lent For Everyone

What is Lent? It is a time in which we anticipate the victory of the light and life of Christ over the darkness of sin and death. As we journey from Ash Wednesday to Easter, we are reminded of the reality of our frailty and God’s redeeming grace. 

Preparing Our Hearts for Easter: A Lenten Devotional

During the time before and after Jesus' crucifixion, God used some unlikely people to proclaim truths about Jesus and God's salvation plan. 

Unlikely Lenten Preachers

Walking With Jesus 

Lent has always been a time to turn our attention to all that has been done for us on the cross in Christ. This lavish gift can be meditated on year after year, and still would leave us to wonder in amazement. Through this reading plan, you will walk through the gospel accounts in chronological order, tracing the steps of Jesus during his last week of his earthly ministry. This plan is 47 days in length, but the seven Sundays are days of rest according to tradition.

40 Days of Lent

‘Journeying With Jesus’ is a Bible plan to help us walk with Jesus through the last two chapters of Matthew. We stop to focus on Jesus' last days on this earth and what that means to us. How does that change who I am and Whose I am today? We will take time to dwell on Scripture and “bring it home” with questions that make us consider where we are on the journey of knowing Jesus.

Join us during the Advent season on a 5-day journey to explore every good gift that God has given through Scripture and stories from around the world. Walk through the themes of a good life, the good news, good deeds and good gifts found in the book of James.

Every Good Gift: A 5-Day Advent Devotional

Have you been occupied by the pursuit of wealth at the expense of your relationships? James teaches us that the pursuit of wealth at the cost of relationships is spiritual adultery and idolatry.  Through the next four days, we will learn how to repent of our failings, submit to God, and allow Him to lift us up.

James 4 - Submit Yourself to God

In this seven-day plan, you’ll encounter the themes of the new covenant and new wisdom for New Testament believers. Hebrews compares and contrasts Jesus to key Old Testament figures, showing how he is superior and the ultimate revelation of God’s love and mercy. The book of James is one-of-a-kind in the New Testament, sharing wisdom sayings, much like the book of Proverbs, with followers of Jesus.

BibleProject | New Covenant, New Wisdom

Get a fresh perspective on the practical wisdom of James. Brothers and sisters from Africa share about children at risk, "tongue meat", favoring the rich, healing, and more.

James Through African Eyes

Some of the books of the New Testament were written to Jews who believed in Jesus as their Messiah and retained their Jewish cultural and religious identity. This includes the gospel according to  Matthew  and also  Hebrews  and  James . Delve into this reading plan, which offers context that will help you better appreciate and understand these New Testament books.

Daily Bible Reading is designed to facilitate consistent interaction with Scripture. It includes background information on each day’s Scripture passage and key verse for meditation, reflection questions to help you dive deeper into Scripture, a prayer and prayer concern to help you connect to God and be of spiritual support to others. Journey with us this month as we explore the theme “Sustained by God’s Word of Wisdom.”

Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Wisdom

The book of James provides practical wisdom for living God’s way in God’s world. Over the next 14-days, we will examine James’ exhortation for us to look like true believers. There are real rewards in giving this book attention and seeking to apply it to our lives. It has application as to how we might relate to materialism, consumerism and individualism – which make it incredibly relevant to our culture.

THE WISDOM OF JAMES: For Life In God's World

No one wants to waste their time.  We only get one life to live and we want to make the most of it.  This extends to our walk with Christ.  No one who follows Christ wants to have a worthless faith.  The book of James provides wisdom for believers on how to have a vibrant faith that provides relief and comfort to our world. 

Worthless Christianity

Your story is not defined by what has happened to you, you are defined by who God has called you to be.

Stories of Faith- James

One of the best ways you can love God is by serving and loving others. If this doesn't come naturally for you, don't worry. God has already equipped you with gifts and abilities to serve those around you. This plan will help you identify practical ways that you can lovingly serve both people and God.

Serve One Another

When life’s storms appear, do you know who you are and whose you are?  Your storm doesn’t define you.  Your burdens don’t define you.  Your past doesn’t define you.  Your circumstances don’t define you.  What defines you, my friend is your Creator.  Each day of this devotion we’ll learn how to speak God’s word to our storms and over our lives.  Let’s be empowered by His Word! This reading plan is from the devotional book "Say: Speaking God's Promises" by Allyson McElroy of On3Ministries


Say to the Storm

What do 40 mission leaders, the CEOs of missionary agencies, church mission pastors, and other global Christian activists have to say about the Great Commission? Join us in this 40-day devotional experience leading up to the 2020 Missio Nexus annual conference.

Focus 2020 – The Great Commission: Perspectives from Leaders

Have you been hurt? Unfortunately, most of us have. But while it’s normal to sometimes get hurt, it’s not okay to stay hurt – that’s unforgiveness, and it’s like drinking poison and expecting the other guy to die. It’s eating your lunch! This five day plan can help you leave the hurt behind by forgiving even the toughest person or the most horrible event, so that your heart can be free for good. 

How to Get Free When Someone Hurts You

Even a king with all his wealth and grandeur found another man’s vineyard appealing in I Kings 21. Irrespective of our official position, greed can get the better of us at unguarded moments. But covetousness has no place in godliness. Aldrin Joseph calls us to examine ourselves today since gaining riches and wealth will not satiate the spirit which is famished with deep spiritual hunger.

Grass Yonder Greener

In this reading plan, Dr. Tony Evans explains three truths from Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth that believers should know and understand so they can praise God as the God of comfort even in their seasons of affliction.

Take Authority Over Autism - Angeletta Giles

On the road of life, occasionally we’ll miss our exit. We’re going somewhere specific, but we become distracted and take our focus off of the destination. When that happens, God wants us to get off the road and turn around. As Tony Evans explains, losing our way requires making a U-turn and redirecting ourselves back in the direction that God had us on to begin with

4 Days To Make A U-Turn

Encouragement

Together, let's take a closer look at our illuminated Messiah. What did He represent in days past? What does He mean for us today, and more importantly, eternity? Every Messianic theme from Genesis to Revelation has an illuminated portrait of Jesus alongside a treatise, explaining the theology behind every brushstroke that illustrator Tim Gagnon crafted. May they capture your heart and help you discover more about our Jesus.

5 Days With the Illuminated Messiah

The Bible tells one big story of redemption. But have you ever thought about what order the events in Scripture occurred? As we read the Bible we quickly notice that the books are grouped by genre, such as law, historical narrative, poetry, wisdom literature, and prophecy. But the events of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther actually occurred at the end of the Old Testament period. And some of the minor prophets prophesied before, during, or after the major prophets. By taking the time to study Scripture as the events unfolded, our knowledge and appreciation for God’s great plan of redemption throughout history deepens. This chronological plan walks through a few chapters a day to help you read through the entire Bible in one year as the events occurred. This plan corresponds with A Year in the Bible With Daily Grace podcast, where we explore how each chapter and event within the Bible points to Jesus, where it fits into the story of Scripture, and how God’s Word impacts us. We are so excited for you to join us on this journey!

Have you ever wanted to read the Bible in a year, chronologically, and have room to catch up for those inevitably busy days? In this reading plan, you’ll find all of that! Go through God’s word in one year, from beginning to end, six days a week. And as you do, God is going to speak into your life!

Wondered by the Word — The Bible in a Year

Gain a better understanding of the order of biblical events and the historic context in which they unfolded. The One Year ® Chronological Bible gives readers a fresh look at the Bible.

The One Year® Chronological Bible 

By reading from four separate places in the Scriptures every day, you will get a better grasp of the unity of the Scriptures. And you can begin at any point of the year. (This plan used to be named the Discipleship Journal Bible Reading Plan).

The Navigators Bible Reading Plan

More than a book, the Bible is a library of life instruction written for those willing to know God. Old Testament believers called the Scriptures the TaNaKh: divided into the Torah, where God's ideal is established, Nebi'im (prophets), where God's ideal is unrealized, and Ketubim (writings), where God's ideal will be restored. The original order ends with a cliffhanger: who will go up (and establish God's Temple)?

One Year Original Order Reading Plan

This plan takes you through the entire Bible with two readings each day: one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament. It includes 314 days of readings, allowing for one catch-up day each week.

Bible in a Year

This plan helps you understand the entire Bible as you complete the Bible in a year. You start the New Testament with Luke and Acts (roughly the first 60 years of New Testament history). The Old Testament is read in near-chronological order with Psalms and historical books (such as Kings) often read the same day as corresponding events or contemporary prophets. May you hear God’s voice as you read!

Jesus Disciple "Whole Bible" Reading Plan

Whole Bible

Have you ever prayed for a spiritual mentor, a mature older woman who would transparently share her God-story and practical wisdom for your life? This Bible plan contains twelve “wisdom dates” with my mother Sandra Strange, age eighty-three. Each day is portion of her powerful testimony and a short teaching our family cherishes. After a long, rich life, she says with certainty, “The Lord is good!” And so will you.

Excellence characterizes the work of every committed Christian. There are no short cuts or half-finished projects if we are obeying God.

You'll end this study with a broader understanding of how to approach your life and work with excellence.

The Road to Excellence

2 Corinthians has a lot to say about your vocation. While this 7-day plan will by no means be an exhaustive study of Paul’s second letter, I’m confident that the seven passages we study will fuel hope and obedience in your work!

2 Corinthians on Work

Life can often be so overwhelming. How do some people walk tall and empowered while others seem to drown in overwhelm and exhaustion? Is there a choice? Are some of us victims while others are victors? Is life happening FOR some and life happening TO others? Do we have a say so in the quality of our lives? I sure hope so. Let’s discuss  EMPOWERED living.

Empowered Living

“More than conquerors,” that’s what the Bible calls those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ for eternal salvation from the consequences of sin (Romans 8:35-39).

So, in uncertain times, how can we find peace when we just can’t know what will happen? The next five days can help us with that.
