Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Luke 16:23

The God Provides series offers a rich, dramatic journey through theater-quality, short films which show us wisdom, truth, encouragement and practical steps to deepen a relationship of trust with God. This session is based on a parable Jesus told about a rich man and Lazarus, a beggar—and the afterlife. As the film portrays, if we place our faith in Jesus Christ, we will spend eternity in His presence.

Jesus used parables to teach others, and these still speak to us today. Many parables are well known; others less so. Some bring comfort; others correction. Some are easy; others difficult. Of all parables, we hear a take-away message that sounds right & fine, but may miss the key point – likely because that teaching is so difficult. In this devotional, we take a closer look at this most difficult parable.

Heaven and Hell are very real; we will spend eternity in one or the other. The decisions we make on earth will have a direct and definite impact on our eternal destiny. Which choices open the gates of Heaven and close the door to Hell? Do you have friends and family who are ignorant or not sure about their eternal destiny? Who will you tell about the reality of eternity?

The strength of a building lies in its foundation. In the natural sense, the main purpose of the foundation is to hold the structure above it and keep it upright. This definition of the purpose of the foundation applies even more to our spiritual lives. In Part Three of Nine of our Hebrews devotional plans, we see just how important it is to have a solid spiritual foundation. 

C.S. Lewis said, “Aim at Heaven and you will get earth ‘thrown in.’ Aim at earth and you get neither.” In other words, what you do today because of what you believe about what happens after you die could change everything, forever. Start this Life.Church Bible Plan today to accompany Pastor Craig Groeschel’s new series, One Minute After You Die.

Death awaits everyone – no one is exempt from death coming to them. The difference is in how we each respond to death. Is it something that we fear?

Eternity. The Bible clearly teaches there are two different states where all people ever born will live forever based on the choices they make in this life.

This is a reading plan on how to develop a healthy relationship with money. Money is a subject that most "good" people don't want to engage because it is associated with a lot of bad things. While others have used money for evil, most money is used for good. We interact with it everyday and yet few people take time to develop a healthy relationship with it. It is wise to develop a good understanding of this important subject.

This plan is based on the invitation that Jesus issued in John 7:37–39. In seven meditations, you will reflect upon the thirst that only Jesus can satisfy, how belief in Christ can quench that thirst, what Jesus meant when He invited all who are thirsty to come to Him, and what He promises will happen to those who believe in Him and whose hearts are indwelt by the Holy Spirit.

Refreshingly different from other studies that promise help with sexual temptation, this devotional from Noah Filipiak (based on his new book) turns typical "purity" strategies on their head by addressing head-on our sense of self-entitlement and our self-seeking tendencies.

This plan gives you a foundational understanding about your innate design as God’s child.

Once you recognize and embrace your indestructible nature, you can change how you think, feel, and believe about your past, present, and future.
