Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Mark 14:30

Life & Death. You may encounter them both daily, you might even say they are a part of this life. Jesus, though, is the "prince of life": He died and rose again from the dead; He has the final word. Life and death come together in Jesus in a special way. What does that mean for you as a disciple of Jesus? What do you live for? And what would you give your life for?

What goes through your mind when you think about being left alone? Is it a good feeling? Is it a bad feeling? Does it bring up negative emotions? Or do you like being alone? What do we do with isolation. Over the next couple of days, we are going to look at what God does through isolation.

The pages of the Gospels are littered with words, thoughts and actions that reveal to us how radical and unconventional, our Saviour, Jesus Christ was when he walked the earth. This devotional offers a brief glimpse into four occasions in the Gospels where Jesus' actions revealed just how differently he behaved to those around him and challenges us today to walk a bit more like him.

In the middle of the pain you didn’t cause, the change you didn’t want, the reality you didn’t know was coming . . . your life can still be beautiful. Because with God, there’s always more than we see being worked out behind the scenes. Join Lysa TerKeurst as she invites you to start hoping again with this 5-day reading plan from her devotional, Seeing Beautiful Again.

Acts is a story rooted in prayer and shows how those first Christians went about discerning Christ’s will. This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re born again and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to different values about right and wrong, and a different lifestyle to match it. This series of 5-day plans uses the 10 Commandments (following the classic Augustinian ordering) as a vehicle for an alternative, Christ-like morality and Jesus-way of living.

This Holy Week reading plan invites readers into the action of Jesus’ last week of ministry. Starting with the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Mark gives a first-hand account of the week’s events, culminating in the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. See Christ’s final week on earth come to life in this video-based, 7-day reading plan and allow it to revolutionize the way you engage with God’s Word.

Whether you’ve messed up a little or a lot by human standards, you’re a prime candidate to be used by God. In this 7-day Plan, we’ll learn about six individuals from the Bible whom God used despite where they came from, what their capabilities were, or how colossal their mistakes were.

This plan will guide you through an inductive study of Jesus’ journey to the cross, beginning with the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Grab a notebook to jot down your thoughts as you are led through a process of (1) observing the events of Passion Week, (2) interpreting the original message to the church in Rome, and (3) applying the Easter story’s timeless truths to your life today.

This plan is an invitation to walk with the disciples during the Passion Week—the days leading up to Jesus’ death—and experience some of His most dramatic teachings. Each day’s readings are arranged in parallel passages of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and are filtered chronologically.

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.

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.

God with Us: The Four Gospels Woven Together in One Telling is a captivating new book that looks and feels like a paperback novel. But it’s not a story based on Jesus’ life, with fictionalized embellishment. It is the story of Jesus’ life, told entirely in the words of the four Gospels in the New Living Translation. This reading plan is not the full account of God with Us but takes you through select events during Jesus’ final week as he visits Jerusalem for the last time leading up to his death and resurrection.

John sets the foundation for understanding the Trinity and shows how Jesus is God. The purpose of John’s message was made abundantly clear when he wrote, “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.” Join me as we read one chapter a day and learn about the deity of Jesus Christ!

The Via Dolorosa, Latin for 'Way of Suffering', is a collection of streets that Jesus walked on the day of his crucifixion. Over the next four weeks, you will digest the account of Holy Week as it's recorded in each gospel, then the account of the resurrection. We believe that in understanding this text and examining Jesus' Way of Suffering, you will learn to experience beauty in brokenness, too.

We are a part of the war on inaction! As we join in the Great Commission together, we also want to understand what this mission truly is. Join us on a 30-day journey through the Gospel of Mark as we explore who Jesus is and how his time on earth should lead us into a life of Christ-like action.

In a world of hostility, corruption, and confusion, a regular guy named Mark wrote his gospel to boldly proclaim that Jesus is THE good news. Mark vividly tells his story with urgency and purpose, giving all of us a front-row seat to the teachings, miracles, discipleship, and life of Jesus. This plan puts you in the story so that you can observe, ask questions, and learn alongside the disciples.

Of the four Gospels, Mark presents the most down-to-earth portrait of Jesus’ life. The fast-paced narrative emphasises both His humanity and His divinity, showing our Saviour as both the Son of Man and the divine Son of God. Join us as we discover the power of His miracles, the depth of His teachings, and the compassion in His heart as He encourages people to repent and believe.
