We all have emotions that compete for control of our lives. And those emotions can get us in trouble when we let them be the boss of us. In this 7-day reading plan, Andy Stanley shares a scriptural “how-to” about saying no to destructive emotions. We need to monitor our hearts—not just our behavior—to prevent emotions like guilt, envy, fear, and anger from bossing us around.

You're Not the Boss of Me

Lent: a 40-day season of reflection and repentance. It’s a nice thought, but what does practicing Lent actually look like? Over the next 7 days, discover five spiritual habits you can start doing during Lent to help you prepare your heart for Resurrection Sunday—and beyond.

Make Space for What Matters: 5 Spiritual Habits for Lent

Lent for Everyone is a devotional created and written by N.T. (Tom) Wright. For each day of Lent, there is a reading chosen from the Gospel of Matthew, plus a reflection by Wright. These readings have grown out of a project encouraging Lent reading in Northern England. This is the second in a three-volume series based on the Revised Common Lectionary of the Church of England.

Lent For Everyone

What is Lent? It is a time in which we anticipate the victory of the light and life of Christ over the darkness of sin and death. As we journey from Ash Wednesday to Easter, we are reminded of the reality of our frailty and God’s redeeming grace. 

Preparing Our Hearts for Easter: A Lenten Devotional

During the time before and after Jesus' crucifixion, God used some unlikely people to proclaim truths about Jesus and God's salvation plan. 

Unlikely Lenten Preachers

Walk with Jesus for 40 days on His journey to the cross. 

Walking With Jesus 

Lent has always been a time to turn our attention to all that has been done for us on the cross in Christ. This lavish gift can be meditated on year after year, and still would leave us to wonder in amazement. Through this reading plan, you will walk through the gospel accounts in chronological order, tracing the steps of Jesus during his last week of his earthly ministry. This plan is 47 days in length, but the seven Sundays are days of rest according to tradition.

40 Days of Lent

‘Journeying With Jesus’ is a Bible plan to help us walk with Jesus through the last two chapters of Matthew. We stop to focus on Jesus' last days on this earth and what that means to us. How does that change who I am and Whose I am today? We will take time to dwell on Scripture and “bring it home” with questions that make us consider where we are on the journey of knowing Jesus.

In this YouVersion Plan, Eric Petree reveals how we can come to live limitless! God intended for us to live our lives out in ways that defy the ordinary. What does God have planned for you in your life? Is your capacity ready? Are we ready for all that God has for us? Let’s get started!

Limitless

James, the half-brother of Jesus writes in his capacity as a pastor to encourage and exhort his people dispersed in the face of difficulties. The primary theme of the letter is on living out one’s faith, being a doer and not just a hearer of the word. Though our context may be different, every single lesson still applies today.

Hearing and Obeying His Word

Examine the book of James in three parts: the test of faith, the characteristics of faith, and the triumph of faith. Faith without works cannot be called faith. Faith without works is dead, and a dead faith is worse than no faith at all. Faith must be there, but it must be more. It must inspire action. Throughout his epistle to Jewish believers, James integrates true faith and everyday practical experience by stressing that true faith must manifest itself in works of faith. 

Tests And Triumphs Of Faith: James

James is an intensely practical book, with straightforward advice on trials, temptation, anger, wisdom, and more. From taming the tongue to listening with humility, it’s a how-to guide to Christian maturity, and Through the Word guides you through every step with engaging audio guides for each chapter. Join Jonathan Ferguson as we grow up in faith and grow deeper in understanding in one of the Bible’s most popular books.

James Explained | A How-to-Guide to Christian Maturity

The book of James provides practical wisdom for living God’s way in God’s world. Over the next 14-days, we will examine James’ exhortation for us to look like true believers. There are real rewards in giving this book attention and seeking to apply it to our lives. It has application as to how we might relate to materialism, consumerism and individualism – which make it incredibly relevant to our culture.

Prayer changes things, because our God can do anything. We pray because God can do more in a moment than we can do in a lifetime. Evangelist Matt Brown shares some of the most powerful lessons he's learned about prayer, in this 5-day Bible plan that will help you supercharge your prayer life.

Supercharge Your Prayer Life

The Jewish authorities could not deny Christ’s power at work, when they threatened Peter and John to stay quiet. On their release, Peter and John prayed with the church for power and boldness. The place where they were praying was shaken and all of them, not just the apostles, experienced and demonstrated God’s power. God’s grace was at work even as they all loved and shared with one another.

Acts - Chapter Four

There is no simple list of five steps to guard against disillusionment and cynicism, but we can sustain hope in serving Christ, even amid a barrage of bad news. This 5-day plan provides a refreshingly modern application of God's ancient invitation to His people, delivered through the prophet Jeremiah. 

Enduring Hope for the Disillusioned

Why am I here?  What makes me unique? Where is God leading me in this season of life? Fortunately, God's Word provides the answers to the most daunting of life's questions. This 7-day study is inspired by the Gift Book and Devotional “Just Think” written by DaySpring Co-Founder Roy Lessin. “Just Think” was originally written as a card in the late 1990's. Due to its widespread popularity, “Just Think” branched out into its own product line, including a series of cards, gifts and a devotional book. We pray that this study is a way to reflect and "Just Think" about God's never-ending love for you!     
 
   


Just Think: From God’s Heart To Yours

Join Hillsong East Coast’s online experience and walk through this corresponding plan. This plan is based on Pastor Brian Houston's December 2020 message, "The Contagious Nature of the Church".

The Contagious Nature of the Church

Sometimes the only thing standing in the way of your miracle is yourself. In this powerful 5-day devotional, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez shows you how God is determined to bless you. All you have to do is believe it.

You Are Next

Words are hard. Words hurt. Words heal. Regardless of how we use our words... words are powerful, and they cut to the heart... Like a Knife. In this plan, you'll learn about the overwhelming power of our words. 

Like a Knife

Revelation is unique in its specific promise that servants who read, understand and do the “words written in it” will “be blessed” or happy. We are more likely to think of Revelation as apocalyptic events rather than a “How To” book on happiness. But Revelation specifically claims to show a path to happiness for believers in Jesus as its primary application. God wants to give a blessing to His servants.

The Bible with Nicky and Pippa Gumbel is a daily plan that takes you through the whole Bible in just one year. It’s for anyone looking for a simple, structured way to read the Bible.

The Bible with Nicky and Pippa Gumbel, Classic Version, 2024

This plan is designed to add variety to your reading of the Bible. The Blended plan divides the Bible so that the reader will read books in a non-traditional sequence. For example, while one is reading the book of Isaiah, he is also reading the book of Mark.

Blended

Prof. Horner’s Bible Reading System is meant to be an intense foray into every part of the Bible. This system will have you reading ten chapters each day if followed properly.

Prof. Horner's Bible Reading System

In a hurry? Take less than 15 minutes each day to cover key passages throughout the whole Bible.

Every day, a different theme is explored through a selection of scriptures taken from the Old and New Testaments, as well as the book of Psalms or Proverbs. Nicky and Pippa Gumbel’s  commentary on these excerpts are full of insight, wisdom, and practical application and will give you an in-depth overview of the entirety of the Bible across the year.

The 4+1 plan is designed so that you will read in 4 different places in Scripture each day ( YouVersion will often list the chapters separately; so "John 2-3" would be presented as "John 2" and "John 3 ") + a reading from Psalms. In using this plan you will read through the entire Bible in a year and through the Psalms twice. The advantage of this type of plan is that you will be exposed to various parts of the Old and New Testaments simultaneously, which will keep your reading very fresh and remind you of “the whole counsel of God”! The plan is “semi-chronological” at points, the prophets of the Old Testament and the letters of the New Testament placed in rough chronological order.  The plan is designed for 6 days of reading each week , giving you a day to rest or catch up with a missed reading. I pray you will enjoy your time in the Word this year!

We all know our purpose in life is not wrapped up in accumulating possessions, wealth, power, and prestige--Jesus is very clear about that--but society tells us otherwise. Christian Minimalism attempts to cut through our assumptions and society's lies about what life should look like and invites readers into a life that Jesus calls us to live: one lived intentionally, free of physical, spiritual, and emotional clutter.
