Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to James 1:22

We talk a lot about salvation. But what does that mean? This reading plan will give you a deeper understanding of God’s redemptive work in your life. Alan Platt explores three dimensions – past, present, and future – of salvation. You have been saved, which establishes your identity. You are being saved because you’re on a path to maturity. And you will be saved because God has secured your eternal future.

Most people are of the mindset that surrendering is inherently bad. In fact, there are examples in history where a decision to never surrender ended up having major consequences. After thinking about how this manifests in a Christian's walk, there are three areas that, if we choose to surrender them to God, can help us grow in our journey with Him. Let’s dig in.

God is love. Jesus loves you in a unique, personal way. He does not see you as someone who is lost in the crowd; on the contrary, He sees you and looks at your heart. God invites you to have Jesus as an example—to love, to act and to speak like Him. In this reading plan we will discover more about it!

Pain can be a valuable tool. It's a message alerting us to pay attention. It could be physical pain, but most often it’s a painful relationship, habit, memory, or past. If you ignore pain, it can prevent you from living the new life God intends for you. But, by acknowledging pain and deciding to do something about it, you can start living and achieving in ways you never could before.

Few things spark greater anger than a betrayal. And carrying the pain and trauma with you can ignite an unquenchable resentment that leaves you hopeless and despondent. When you’re overcome with bitterness, you need to know there is a God who understands and can help reconcile your pain. This plan will help you understand your anger and how to extinguish it with peace.

Do you want to grow in Christ? Ultimately, God is the one who cultivates our hearts. He alone is the giver of life and growth. However, we have an essential role in the process. God, the Gardener of our Soul, calls us to partner with Him. This four-step plan will encourage you in your pursuit of holiness. Enjoy a new season of growth!

Anxiety, with its constricting fear for the future, can narrow our vision so that God’s gracious presence is harder for us to see. This four day series points to some of the ways that the Bible is speaking back to our anxious thoughts and fears. Phil Christman, the writer for this series, lives with anxiety and his reflections are based on his own experiences with faith and anxiety.

Jesus gives us a brand new life when we decide to follow Him! However, it's easy to get "stuck" at salvation and forget that we are meant to grow spiritually mature as Christians. Let’s learn from the Bible, and the life of Jesus, how to grow mature habits in our life. Kids Bible Experience partnered with Church of the Highlands and One Hope to create this plan.

This plan will explore what the letter of James teaches us about growing into maturity in four major areas. 1) WHO GOD IS: God’s character and nature 2) WHO WE ARE: the identity of humanity and/or believers 3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines 4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action

This plan is intended as a guide to discovering the message of James for yourself! Grab a notebook to jot down your thoughts as you are led through a process of: 1) Observing the text of James 2) Interpreting its original message to James’ audience in the first century 3) Applying the letter’s timeless truths to your life today
