Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 22:40

Our postmodern culture suggests that all religions lead up the same mountain to the same God. So long as you’re sincere in your belief and tolerant of others, the path you take doesn’t matter.

What if there’s more to following Jesus than we think? In this 7-day Bible Plan, we’ll discover that God is at work in the ordinary parts of our lives where we sometimes forget to look. And that fact often informs our independence, our purpose, and our daily rhythms in more ways than we imagine.

We often read the story of Esther and consider that “for such a time as this” moments are always huge, society-changing, mass deliverance-causing, headline-making times.

Our gifts, our light, our relationship with Jesus (and with one another), our words, thoughts, and deeds are needed every day.

Most of us try to avoid or ignore our emotions. We might even wonder if our faith and our feelings are enemies. But during His time on earth, Jesus felt emotions deeply. He wasn’t distant from us. He’s with us—even in our emotions. In this 7-day Bible Plan accompanying Pastor Craig Groeschel’s series, Emotions, we’ll look at how Jesus lived to discover how our feelings might increase our faith.

The sin of withholding is often undetected, however it is responded to by God in a consistent and firm manner. This sin is active and alive in churches, marriages, and families and has been present without a voice. As a result, our marriages and families are suffering. Once a believer is free of this sin, their walk with the Lord and their fruit toward others can increase expediently.

Here are practical biblical strategies for healthier and more loving relationships.
