Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 13:30

Everyone loves a good story. We are products of the narratives that have formed us—for good or bad. If you need fresh inspiration or are stuck living under the weight of a story you can’t shake off, consider this study of the parables of Jesus. His parables not only form (or reform) who we are, but they also reveal more about God than we ever thought possible.

This 7-day reading plan and devotional is based on Scott Williams' book "Drop It," which is inspired from the story of blind Bartimaeus. This plan will help you to tap into the faith, courage, and commitment necessary to no longer settle for the way things are. It’s time that you break free from being a puppet to the things distracting you from your purpose. It’s time to DROP IT!

In Mark 4:10-12, Jesus says that the purpose of the Parables is to teach truth to those that seek, and to hide it from those who will not. Jesus often hid principles one at a time in his stories, and other times he would string a variety of them together to make one BIG point. Join us in our 7-Day journey through the Parables and discover the profound wisdom of these simple stories.

We don’t grab power; we lay it down.
