Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to James 1:2

Life is hard! We are struggling in our relationships and our mental and emotional reserves are empty. We need something far greater than we can touch, purchase or come up with on our own. Something that will help us survive the hardest seasons of life. Join Robin Meadows as she shares this 4-day plan taken from the full length Bible study Joy is a Person: A Deep Dive into Philippians.

Why are we working so hard? Certainly, part of our ambition is to glorify God and do good for others. But when we inevitably find ourselves in seasons of overwork, we’d be wise to ask this question: What is the work beneath our work? In this four-day plan, we’ll explore some of the most common answers to that question and look to the gospel for rest.

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

As Christians, we need a sober and biblically-based expectation of life. Life is to be enjoyed, but it will not always be enjoyable! Jesus prepared his disciples thoroughly for trials and testing, suffering and persecution. Our God is faithful and comforts us in every trial, so we invite you to come with us in this devotional as we learn to navigate the valleys of life in faith.

In our walk with God, we often face seasons of testing, pressure, and refinement. These moments can be overwhelming and discouraging, leaving us questioning our faith and wondering if God has abandoned us. However, it is vital to remember that these challenges are not meant to break us but to shape us into vessels of honour for God's glory.

What if there is more to JOY than meets the eye, what if it isn't as nice and fluffy as we think but instead filled with power and might to help us through our pain and bring strength and peace to our problems? Let's jump into this fast little 4-day journey of letting more JOY into our lives!

Life brings various seasons, ebbs and flows, and twists and turns. I’m convinced that what keeps a believer active in hope and tethered to joy is the belief that our God is big. When we wrote Big God, it was our prayer that this song, with its rhythm and joy, would instill confidence in our God. My prayer is that this devotional will do the same.
