Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Ephesians 2:5

Cru is a movement dedicated to helping everyone know someone who truly follows Jesus. In July 2015, over 5,000 Cru staff gathered for a week of inspirational growth - leaving with refreshed hearts and renewed vision. Each of these five devotionals from Cru15 contains a short audio segment from a main speaker (1-2 minutes). Our prayer is that these highlights help you trust God to make your life count.

Like a mother who holds her toddler’s hand as he crosses the street, God is with us in the walk of life.

Read along and be encouraged to tune into His voice this week.

When the devil knocks, you don’t always hear it. Right? He’d rather sneak in an open door. He’s the deceiver, destroyer, and accuser who will do anything to cover up God’s love and truth. He didn’t want this Life.Church Bible Plan written, and He definitely doesn’t want you or your LifeGroup to read it. But that’s another battle God's about to win.

In the fast pace of life, when God gets put on the back burner, we often find ourselves running on empty.

“This [was] good,” but it will get better when Jesus returns and fixes everything we’ve broken. This study plan surveys our loss of dominion and the strategy of our King to keep His promise to restore all things.

In this broken world, God invites us into a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. His presence comes when we open our hearts. Inspired by the film An Interview With God, this five-day biblical study encourages us to listen to God’s voice in an on-going relationship with Him as both a Father and Friend.
