BREATHING THE GOSPEL
Before digging into this week's text, start the week off with a simple reading and reflection on the text we are covering this week. As followers of Jesus, we want to develop a discipline of "Breathing the Gospel":
BREATHING THE GOSPEL: Breathing in the Word of God and breathing out your words to God
With this discipline in mind, before reading the text, take some time to focus your mind, quiet the distractions of today, and create space for the Lord to speak.
Don't rush this!
Train your heart to listen and focus on your breathing...
Breathe in... the Word of God
Once you feel ready, read through this week's text. Try not to get distracted by questions or ideas, just get a feel for the overall message of the text and think about the Gospel. As you breathe in God's Word, ask yourself:
How does this reading inform your understanding of the Gospel?
Breathe out... your words to God
Don't forget to spend some time reflecting on the text and articulating how today's reading is moving you! If you are able, take some time to journal your prayer and talk to God about how you hope to apply his Word to your life!
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. - James 1:23 (NIV)
Family Devotional Corner
Have one member of your family read the passage out loud, then spend a few minutes just thinking about the words that were read.

About this Plan
This plan is an invitation to the unashamed wonder and power of the gospel (Romans 1:16)! In this six-part series of plans, you will work verse by verse through the book of Romans. The Gospel tells us: "Jesus Changes Everything". The second step to experiencing the wonder of this gospel is declaring our FAITH in Jesus as our Savior and King!"
