Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Mark 9:24

Salvation is about more than forgiveness for sin; it’s about being adopted into God’s family. But what good is a family that never connects? It may be messy—it might require checking our selfishness at the door—but connecting is necessary. In this thirteen-part devotional from Calvary Church, we’ll look at key verses that demonstrate why Jesus People gather, and what we can accomplish when we do.

The Gospel of Mark presents Jesus as the Son of God and the perfect servant of God. This 14-day reading plan invites readers specifically into the teachings of Jesus as chronicled by Mark, a close disciple of the Apostle Peter. Starting with the baptism of Jesus and carrying the reader through to the importance and symbolism of Christ’s last meal, the reader will be visually transported into these important moments in Jesus’ history. Experience these teachings come-to-life in this video-based, 14-day reading plan and allow it to revolutionize the way you engage with God’s Word.

The irritating benefit of hindsight is that it is often easier to see why we should have listened to biblical wisdom when we suffer through trials and difficulties. The one thing I keep learning is that the wisdom was there all along; I just needed to look for it. It is one thing to have faith in your head. It is quite another to live out that faith in your heart, day by day.

This reading plan explores the second Gospel. The persecution of Christians was on Mark's mind as he wrote this Gospel. Mark told the story of Jesus' life in ways that strengthened the faith of early Christians and encouraged them to persevere through suffering.

All stories redeemable. All brokenness repairable. All addictions breakable. Using the acronym BREATHE, Keith Repult provides practical tools for reflection, hope, and help for those drowning in the pain of addiction. This plan is a reminder that we’ve never gone too far to be made new by the big grace of God. Keith’s powerful story of finding freedom from addiction and practical tools are found in the book, Just Breathe.  

Mark uses the word “immediately” over forty times in his Gospel, emphasizing the intentional nature of Jesus’ ministry. The quick succession of healings and miracles shows that Jesus “came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:44). Through Mark’s Gospel, we are reminded that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes not through selfish ambition, but by being the servant of all.

The apostle Paul tells his readers, “We must suffer many things on our way into God’s kingdom” (Acts 14:22). Reading the book of Acts or hearing testimonies from Christians all over the world, these words are proven true. Believers face opposition and persecution. Maybe you experience affliction yourself. In this reading plan, we want to encourage you and to teach you how to handle affliction.
