Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 21:9

This Advent Guide comes from students, faculty and staff at Belmont University. Advent is that season of waiting that carefully and purposefully helps us to realign our priorities and to glimpse, anew, our place before God. Our humble hope is this guide helps people focus more fully on Jesus Christ through the Advent season.

Good Morning Girls is an online community of women which exists to inspire, encourage and equip women all over the world to get into God’s Word on a daily basis through our daily Bible reading plans.

This plan will guide you in reading the Gospel of Matthew and hear what God is speaking to you personally. We are looking forward to read and hear this together with our church.  

Matthew’s Gospel opens the New Testament by brilliantly introducing the culmination of the entire Old Testament story. After thousands of years and dozens of generations, Jesus had come “to save his people from their sins” (Mathew 1:21). Matthew focuses on Jesus as King of Kings, who had come to reign on the throne of David forever.

Exploring Scripture can align ourselves with truth and help us grow in our relationship with God. The devotionals in this plan are not designed to unpack the meaning of passages for you, but to help guide exploring Scripture personally. We will be journeying through the Bible with Jesus by taking 30 days to follow this Scripture reading plan.

Daily Bible Reading is designed to facilitate consistent interaction with Scripture. It includes background information on each day’s Scripture passage and key verse for meditation, reflection questions to help you dive deeper into Scripture, a prayer and prayer concern to help you connect to God and be of spiritual support to others. Journey with us this month as we explore the theme “God’s Life-Giving Word of Hope.”

This twelve-part plan can be read alone, with a group, or with your family! Each month, you will dive into a new part of the unified story that leads to Jesus discovering the heart of God for the whole world. This month, we'll read through parts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and a portion of Acts. Let's dive into Part nine of twelve!

Many of us struggle to trust God’s provision. Instead, we rely on ourselves but end up feeling anxious and stressed. This plan will take you on a 30-day journey to see God’s heartbeat of generosity like never before. Jesus described God as a good and generous Father. We want to help you see God the way Jesus did and live with greater freedom and joy.
