In the 21 Days to Overflow YouVersion plan, Jeremiah Hosford will take readers on a 3-week journey of emptying themselves of themselves, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and living out an overflowing, Spirit-filled life. It’s time to stop living normally and start living an overflowing life!


21 Days to Overflow

Looking closer at the landscape of our culture today, many are caught up in self-promotion, self-indulgence, and glory-seeking. Reflecting on our current times, it does make you wonder, has the Biblical virtue of humility largely vanished from our culture, including our church culture? In this reading plan, we will observe what God's Word says about humility and how His faithful followers have embodied humility through the years.

Becoming More Like Jesus: Humility

Does your critical spirit crush your spouse or rob your marriage of companionship? Has your spouse said you are critical? Constantly judging yourself and others will hold you back from being fully vulnerable and transparent with your spouse. God has better for your marriage. In this 5-day plan by Tiffany Miller, we take a biblical look at how to cut the criticism and cultivate companionship. 

Cut the Criticism and Cultivate Companionship in Your Marriage

Have you ever found yourselves on the receiving end of the phrase ”you are so complex!” Many fear their emotional complexity and live hidden lives because of it. This reading plan seeks to bring our complexity into the light whilst rejoicing in how wonderfully complex we really are. Emotions are not meant to be feared but processed in the context of truth. 

Wonderfully Complex

What was so important to Jesus that He willingly gave up a comfortable life? A sense of pride or importance? Or well-deserved payback? He didn’t want these things like we would expect. But the more He rejected the normal path to success, the more His impact grew. Jesus didn’t want any of these things—instead He was after a different way of living. Better than anything we could imagine.  

He Gets Us: What Jesus Gave Up | Plan 7

We have all said it, and we have all heard it; “Please, may I help you?” After experiencing my husband’s forequarter amputation, we learned to receive is humbling.  However, through being humbled came blessings!  Walk with me on this journey as we discover how to give and receive with grace!

Please, May I Help You?

In his book The Hidden Peace, Joel Muddamalle defines humility as the ability to see ourselves and others as God does. This balanced understanding of our place in the world can bring contentment as we begin to place our cares, anxieties, and weaknesses in the hands of the Father. As we take this path together, may you discover the unrivaled peace that comes with knowing Your God is in control.

Five Days Toward a Peaceful, Humble Life

Watch a fiery baton twirler light up the night, and you'll see a visual of two emotions spinning within us: pride and shame. While they seem opposite, their connection can set our world ablaze. In this Bible study, we'll explore their kinship, how Jesus can extinguish these flames, and lead us towards a life worth rallying behind - a cause for celebration surpassing any homecoming weekend.


Pride and Shame

Nobody is immune from the comparison trap. From time to time we all wonder why we’re not as far along in our career as someone else or find ourselves jealous of the talents of others we admire. If this is a challenge for you, join me in this four-day plan as we explore four biblical ways to escape the soul-sucking comparison trap.

4 Biblical Ways to Escape the Comparison Trap

God’s word tells us that “tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21) Knowing this truth, believers should be mindful of the words they speak.  In the Watch Your Mouth Bible Plan, readers will discover in scripture accounts where individuals mouths either produced progression or regression in their lives.

Watch Your Mouth

Only God can judge me—not. Christians are also called to judge others with righteous judgment. But what does that mean? This 5-day plan will help you be fair in your judgment.

Righteous Judgment

In The Maker’s Mark, Beau Hague provides 10 daily readings that connect biblical principles to the cowboy’s way of life—from ranching, to horses, to dragging’ calves to the fire, Beau provides personal stories of his life as a day-working cowboy and spiritual lessons he’s learned from riding with Christ.

People focus on our charisma, but God focuses on our character. Join David Villa as he compares these two concepts through the lens of scripture

Character Over Charisma: Unlocking Your True Potential

Independence is impossible because you’re always depending on something: water to hydrate you, food to nourish you, and God to hold all things in the world together. You were created to be dependent. You must realize that you can do absolutely nothing without Christ—you need God. If you’re open to learning what it looks like to depend on God fully, then this plan is for you!

Independence Is Impossible With Judah Lupisella

If you were to define ‘the greatest evil,’ you might think of murder, child abuse, or human trafficking. C.S. Lewis mentions something else: pride. He considers this the ultimate rebellion against God, from which all other sins spring. In this reading plan, we want to explore what the Bible says about pride and which consequences pride has for our lives.

Pride. The Great Sin.

Taken from Kyle Idleman's follow-up to "Not A Fan," you're invited to find the end of yourself, because only then can you embrace the inside-out ways of Jesus.

The End Of Me By Kyle Idleman

In this plan Dr. Kim Kimberling and Pastor Craig Groeschel talk about taking steps to be the man of God you were created to become. Each day will focus on one topic with a short video, Bible references, a devotional, and questions to help you grow to be a man of God.

Fighting to Be a Man of God

The Lord gave gifts to every person. Every Christian can lead in God’s church. The desire to lead in the Kingdom is a noble desire. However, to lead in God’s church efficiently we must do it with a noble motive, humbly and faithfully. Our elders can also affirm the gift of God in us. We should lead according to our ability, willingly and with a servant heart. 

How Can I Become a Leader in My Church

When the devil knocks, you don’t always hear it. Right? He’d rather sneak in an open door. He’s the deceiver, destroyer, and accuser who will do anything to cover up God’s love and truth. He didn’t want this Life.Church Bible Plan written, and He definitely doesn’t want you or your LifeGroup to read it. But that’s another battle God's about to win.

When The Devil Knocks

With the rise in popularity of intermittent fasting, has the practice of fasting essentially become a worldly endeavor focused on improved health? In an attempt to answer this question, we will look closer at what Scripture has to say about fasting, what circumstances led God's people into a time of fasting, and what these examples might mean for you and me today in our pursuit of becoming more like Jesus.

Fasting: A Posture of Surrender Focused on God

Self-made success is good, but God-made success is everlasting! Join David Villa in his latest devotional as he discusses the methods in which we can reach God-made success not just in this season of our life, but throughout our journey here on Earth.

There’s a deadly trap that most of us find ourselves in at some point, even if we don’t know it: offense. Offense can leave us bitter and cause our hearts to grow cold to Christ. With this 5-day devotional by John Bevere, you’ll discover the dangers of offense and how to guard your heart from its snare. 

Am I Offended?

It’s easy to get caught up in a “hustle & grind” mentality and forget what matters most. Our hope with this devotional is that it would challenge the reader, to lean on the “nudging” and daily direction of the Holy Spirit. We pray it inspires a new heart of surrender!

Keeping the First Things First - a 3-Day Devotional With Consumed by Fire

Throughout the history of the Bible, the men and women were plagued by what I like to call  the silent but deadly trio.   In today’s world, it is no different for us. Everywhere we turn, we are plagued by temptations that “nibble” at our fleshly desires, but the good news is we have been given the remedy to combat the enemy and his tactics.

The Silent But Deadly Trio

Pride goes before the fall. We’ve all heard this saying before. Whether you’ve fallen already, you recognize that you’re about to fall, or you want to make sure that you don’t fall as a result of the sin that is called pride; this short 3-day plan is for you! So what’re you waiting for? Start this short plan, today! 

PrideFALL With Judah Lupisella

Many Christians struggle with anger. It is a dangerous, powerful, yet confusing emotion. The Bible differentiates between righteous and sinful anger. It also provides tools to overcome the latter. This devotional helps believers to understand anger, know its roots, and learn how to control it. Christians can live their lives filled with emotions that are pleasing to the Lord. 

How to Deal With My Anger

This video series walks you through how you can stop making unhealthy comparisons of yourself against others.

Competitive Christians

Here’s the truth: forgiving people who’ve hurt us isn’t an easy thing to do. And yet… we know that without forgiveness, we can easily fall into bitterness – and then the hurt will not go away, but grow. So how do you forgive and really mean it? Join Berni Dymet from Christianityworks, in a new video devotional series to ponder the importance – and power – of forgiveness.

The Power of Forgiveness: Video Devotions

We have an unshakeable belief in the power of Jesus Christ. Despite the pain, sorrow, and tension of this world, Jesus is not threatened by the darkness. He has no rival. He has no equal. He is the light of the world and the hope of humanity. In partnership with The Overflow, this 5-day devotional points us to the biblical application to five songs from the album Let There Be Light.

Hillsong Worship - Let There Be Light - The Overflow Devo

Despite King Josiah’s religious reform in the last days of Judah, the people remained unrepentant. Zephaniah thus prophesied God’s judgment to Jerusalem and her surrounding nations. The book, however, ends with a surprise that God’s judgment is not just meant to punish, but also glean from the nations a people who will serve God with one accord. This vision, will be fully fulfilled by the Church of Christ.

Through the Bible: Zephaniah

What motivates you to serve in your church? Have you considered your motivations recently? Is it the praise of man? Material gratification? Jealousy? Or even unbiblical teaching? While we can’t know the exact condition of a man’s heart, we do have biblical examples of men revealing the state of their hearts by their behavior. In this 4-Day study, we will study what the Bible says about our personal motivations. 

Foundations of a Faithful Pastor

Read in this 5-day devotional the far-reaching consequences of pride, hate and bitterness. Even though Haman had received a promotion, he was never satisfied. The Bible says that “God resists the proud”. We see this clearly in the life of Haman, when God turned the tables on him and the gallows that he had set up for Mordecai became the gallows on which he was hung. Don’t be a Haman.   

God Turns the Tables on the Proud  

Whether you dream about ruling the world or just wish you could get a little respect once in a while, the desire to be in charge is something we’ve all experienced. In this 4-week devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll see what Scripture can teach us about how (or how not) to be in charge.

Learn to acknowledge your sin, calling it what God calls it, so you can confess it to Him and then walk by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Sinful Roots In The Heart

Promises! Who doesn't want certainty. We CAN depend on God! It has been said there are around 1600 promises in the Old and New Testaments. The following verses can help you draw near to the Lord and rest. God's word has promises you want in your heart regarding dating, anger, hope, money, trust, suffering and even sex. Stop relying on empty promises people make. Lean on God's promises.

God's Promises For The Hungry Heart, Part 6

Renowned theologian RT Kendall delves into what the Bible says about seeking vengeance and vindication.

Vindication And Vengeance

Times of trouble are common to us all. It’s because we’re in a battle, and our foe is not made of flesh and blood. We’re up against Satan and his forces of evil; yet when we understand the devil’s methods and schemes, and the avenues by which he’s likely to attack or try to trip us up, we can literally close the door on him and find victory instead!

Victory Over The Devil

Being a “man of God” can be tough. Being a “young man of God” can be even tougher. This devotional will focus on the three areas in which young men are most frequently tempted: their Ways (i.e., temper), their Words (i.e., language), and their Wants (i.e., physical and emotional desires). It will also discuss the appropriate Biblical response(s) to maintaining self-control and moral purity in the face of such temptations.

The Ways, Words, and Wants of Young Men

We Are Messengers - The Overflow Devo

We have all failed in various ways at one point or another. Failure is not something you can always avoid. It can happen in relationships, where you work, and in everyday life. How we respond to it can help us move forward. This devotion seeks to help those who have failed and how to overcome it.

Failure

Humans can easily fall victim to the "looking-out-for-number-one" syndrome. Our current culture often supports that individuals put themselves and their happiness first. This plan strives to put our "Me Monster" within on a diet. When we take the focus off ourselves and concentrate on the One who deserves the glory, we become more God-centered and less me-centered. That's a good thing! 

Christ Must Increase. I Must Decrease.

God’s always good, but that doesn’t mean He’s always safe. This Life.Church Bible Plan dares readers to pray three bold prayers: search me, send me, and break me. Dare to start reading today, and your life will take a scary-good turn.

Bold Prayers

Do you know that feeling? That heart sting when someone else receives the very thing you desire—when your best friend gets engaged, your sister gets pregnant, or your coworker gets the promotion. You tell yourself you’re happy for her, but you feel a hint of something else. That something is envy. Read what scripture has to say about envy, God’s glory, and joy found on the other side.

What To Do When Envy Steals Your Joy

Humility is a direction in which we travel, not a destination at which we arrive. Mark and Grace Driscoll challenge you to recognize pride in your life, and to learn how grace empowers you to walk in humility.

Look In The Mirror

Scripture instructs us to draw near to God that He might draw nearer to us (James 4:8), yet many Christians today have a tendency to keep God at arm’s length. In so doing, they never fully cultivate the relationship true faith demands. This devotional examines the seven most common behaviors and mindsets that keep believers from truly knowing God and enjoying genuine fellowship with Him.

Keeping God at Arm's Length

We all carry a harsh judge inside ourselves, along with sense of entitlement: the belief that we deserve God’s blessing because of our good behavior. We must wage war against the judgment and contempt we are inclined to feel toward others.

How God's Love Changes Us: Part 2 - Overcoming Pride & Insecurity 

In Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, he describes a thorn in his flesh. In this plan, Dr. Tony Evans teaches about this thorn, and how it affected Paul, as well as what we can learn from it to apply to our lives today.

The Thorn In Your Flesh

Pride can get the best of us all. It is the sneakiest temptation we face because it can take over our thoughts without us realizing it is happening. This study digs in to how to recognize that temptation, how to control our thought process, and how to remind ourselves that God is the author and perfecter. In this study, we choose to say, "Jesus, Step into my story."

Step Into My Story

Looking at the story of David’s infamous implosion, we will learn how to ruin our lives (so we won’t), and also how to find hope if we do—as all of us need His grace.

Jesus spent a lot of time ministering to messy people. Today’s churches seem to spend a lot of time serving the clean and tidy. So where did things go wrong? In this 5-day reading plan, Pete Briscoe dives into Jesus’ plan for those who come to Him in faith. Hint: It doesn’t involve making messy people more tidy.

I do believe it is something that can slip into our life without us even knowing it.

How do you feel when you see someone who struggles with sin? Do you feel grateful that you are not in their situation? The notorious Pharisee of Luke 18 felt the same way. In this Plan, we will learn to examine ourselves for signs of pride disguised as godly traits or actions. Join me as we learn how to be truly humble in Christ!


Proud to Be Humble

This is the first of two plans based on Isaiah’s vision and calling to serve the Lord. Isaiah did not sit down to write because he had tremendous literary ability or because he was so godly and knowledgeable. He became a difference maker because he was amazed by the Lord. To become a difference maker, you must start by beholding God and being amazed at His holiness. 

[Difference Makers ls] Amazed by the Lord 

Korah was envious of Moses’ and Aaron’s leadership positions. This envy was combined with selfish ambition resulting in strife and rebellion, ultimately leading to his downfall and death. Some people aspire to positions of authority to lord it over others, not so they can serve others. An important lesson to learn from Korah is not to let your desire for someone else make you discontented with what you already have.


Don’t Be a Rebel - Lessons From Korah

We are looking into the lives of some Bible characters who had to do a 180 to come back to God. We've all been there, and I want to tell you not to worry; we are in good company. I've picked seven stories to help us understand that no matter where you are in your faith, it's not too late to turn (180 Degrees) to God.

UNCOMMEN: 180 Degrees of Change

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this wisdom packed devotional. Pride is the enemy’s weapon to stagnate your purpose. Pride isolates and will cause you to whither in the wilderness.

Let God lead and soften your heart as you read this transformative message.

Pride Goeth Before Destruction

This week let’s tackle the pure, child-like heart of HUMILITY as we spend time with our God.  We know that pride comes before the fall, so HUMILITY must come before we are lifted up.

And please pray for the Hollywood entertainment industry, which we consider to be the world’s most influential mission field!

For years Christians have asked, "What would Jesus do?" But what if we asked a better, more illuminating question: "What Made Jesus Mad?"

The Impact of Social Media on Faith and Relationships

Wisdom requires God's input, right? God wants us to think right and do right. So, He tells us how, in short, to-the-point sentences.  You'll see this in the statement “Man Says”. But “God says” how to think and act His way in these Proverbs. “Proverbs to Remember One-Three” has 72 Proverbs taken from the 31 chapters. They cover about 25 topics (Anger, Temptation, Forgiveness, Hope, Trust, Wisdom, Family, Money). 

Proverbs to Remember One

Niceness is such a prized quality today. It’s easy to forget how dangerous it is. As Sharon Hodde Miller reminds us, Jesus was kind, loving, and forgiving, but he wasn’t nice. He spoke truth in love, didn’t worry about offending people, and sacrificed everything for people who disagreed with him. This week we’ll look at ways we can follow Jesus’s example and let go of the temptation to be nice.

Nice By Sharon Hodde Miller

We live in a world that categorizes people. And if we’re honest, we have this inner desire to be associated with the winners, the successful, the up and coming. How do we reconcile this with who Christ calls us to be? In this 4-day reading plan, Pete Briscoe shares what the bible says about treating people differently based on how you “categorize” them and asks you to examine your heart.

Letting Go Of Pride By Pete Briscoe

What happens when someone who loves to be first takes control of a local church? 2nd & 3rd John may be the Bible’s two shortest books, but they’re part of a much bigger story—one that includes true disciples, traveling deceivers, dangerous hospitality, and the serious perils of arrogance in authority.

We are not a body with a soul. We are a soul with a body. While the world rightly teaches us to detox our bodies, sometimes we need to detox our soul.  This 35-day plan will help you identify what's chipping away at your soul, and what's getting in the way of you becoming the person who God created you to be. You will learn from God's Word how you can neutralize these damaging influences and embrace clean living for your soul.

Soul Detox

Jesus warned, “If the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is” (Matthew 6:23). Spiritual blindness is, indeed, a deceptive condition. It causes many learned, “enlightened” people to believe they see the truth clearly when, in fact, they are incapable of it. Nevertheless, there is hope—and His name is Jesus. In this five-day devotional, we’ll discover what Scripture teaches about spiritual blindness, why it happens, and how Jesus alone can open our eyes. 

Spiritual Blindness

The riches of this world appear to be everything we’ve ever wanted or hoped for. Sometimes, they seem to certify status or worth or even godliness. But what if they’re just dust that deceives us?

There is a sickness in our culture today that is having a devasting effect on our souls. It goes by the name Hurry. In this reading plan, we will explore several practical steps we can take today in order to slow down our pace of life. However, we miss the mark if we only focus on the practical without considering the why behind our hurried existence.

Slowing Down: Discovering the Why Behind Our Hurry

Children of God have absolutely nothing to worry about. Although the enemy comes at different angles to challenge, trick or attempt to thwart the plans of God for one’s life, God has already fixed everything for the believer who walks according to His will, word and way. In the BOOMERANG Bible plan readers will discover in scripture that there are consequences to every action, plan and decision. 

BOOMERANG

In Luke 18, Jesus illustrates three ways to approach God. Let’s take a look and consider, how do we pray?

How Do We Pray?

Humility will come from knowing God more intimately. One way to do that is to memorize and meditate on His Word. These verses are some of the 500+ from 48+ topics in the MemLok Bible memory system.

Everyone is born with a desire for greatness. But given the rampant abuses of power we see in our world today, it can be easy to believe that our desire for greatness is inherently sinful. As this three day plan will show, Jesus offers an alternative perspective, showing his disciples and us the good in our desire to be great.

The Good In Our Desire To Be Great

As Christians, is it possible to be ambitious in our work and still have our self-worth and identity firmly rooted in Jesus Christ? The world tells us that the point of work is to make a name for ourselves and accumulate fame and fortune. But as we'll see in this 3-day plan, the gospel replaces these improper ambitions with motivations to work to glorify God and serve others.

Gospel Driven Ambition

What does God say about . . . ? Is it good or bad? This reading plan gives you answers to questions on pride, ambition, and sorrow.

Good Or Bad? 

Mark and Grace Driscoll break down four beliefs about good and evil—four beliefs that are integral to the Christian life.

4 Beliefs About Good and Evil

He lived in the wild, wore weird clothes, had an appetite for bugs, and an aptitude for berating people. But, despite John the Baptist’s eccentric appearance and lifestyle, Jesus claimed “there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist” (Matt. 11:11). Who was John the Baptist? What made him so great? Perhaps, most importantly, what can we learn from him about true greatness in God’s kingdom?

Grasshoppers, Greatness, and God's Kingdom

Many of us have heart disease. We know about God’s love, yet often struggle to experience the fullness of that love. Many people are trapped in addiction, fear, and broken relationships. Why are our lives so often no different from people who don’t know God? Finding true freedom and health starts with knowing God’s love for you in both your head and your heart. Discover how to receive God’s love so completely that your life radiates his love for you and others.

The God-Shaped Heart
