Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Acts 5:4

We have three enemies: the world, the flesh, and the deceiver. The world is like Jericho - a fortified wall around us. The flesh is entrenched inside of us. As we see victory over the foe outside, we begin to understand the enemy within. This in-depth stand-alone plan is also part 6 of a 10 part series.

In these devotionals, Texas pastor “JP” Pokluda leads us in looking at some of the modern-day vices that we find ourselves giving into (even when we know deep down that we shouldn’t). The goal is not to make us feel guilty. It is to help us see where we may have given the enemy (Satan) a foothold in our lives and, by looking to God’s Word, to pursue the life-giving virtues that Jesus has called us to.

This plan will help you grow in what the Bible teaches about money and business. Jesus taught about money almost more than any other topic. Yet, most Christians struggle with money and financial stewardship. Every Christian can grow in this area. We can all learn to be godly stewards of what God has entrusted to us. Let’s learn to excel together in this important area of our spiritual life.

The responsibilities of motherhood leave many of us feeling like we’re sidelined from God’s work for a season. The book of Acts, however, reminds us that we are commissioned to be witnesses for Christ wherever he has us. In this series, we’re studying stories of those described as being “full of the Spirit” to explore the unique ways in which the Holy Spirit empowers our mission as moms today.

Sometimes our desire to succeed or prosper makes us vulnerable to manipulation. Or worse, we manipulate others to get what we want. Sometimes we even try to manipulate God. The Bible passages in this reading plan help us guard against manipulation—either being manipulated or being the manipulators. These passages help us embrace the true prosperity God offers us instead.

As leaders, we often think we see a tie-in of God’s purpose to our lives and our leadership abilities. While this is true and comforting to many, it is not the full picture. The readings in this series explore what the Bible says about our leadership purposes, starting with the basics and working up to a conclusion delivered to us by Jesus himself. Fasten your seatbelt!

Some Christians delight in the subject of spiritual gifts, while others get nervous. Nobody wants to be weird, but nobody wants to miss out on what God has in mind for his church either. The apostle Paul wrote, “Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed” (1 Cor. 12:1). This nine-day reading plan is a “tour” of the nine gifts he listed later in that chapter. Each day gives a brief definition, an example from the early (first-century) church, and then a second example from here and now in our time. 

We all know that we should read our Bible, pray, and be the church, but what if we actually started doing that? Zúme Accountability Groups are small groups of 2 to 4 people that don’t just want to be hearers of the word, but doers! If you want simple and practical “HOW TO” steps to be and do what Jesus called, commanded, and created us for then start this plan. 

Psalms 18:20-24 says, “GOD made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him.” Wholeness is a 14-day journey of intentionally learning how to bring all the parts of ourselves before Him - spirit, soul, and body. It is about intentionally building our identity in Christ and not creation.

Have you thought of what will keep you strong till the end? How can we ensure that we run our race in a manner that we will hear "well done good and faithful servant"? Here is a 10-day plan written by Navaz DCruz that helps us examine our hearts and reflect upon some truths.
