This is the twelfth installment of a Bible reading plan following the lectionary pattern, offering daily readings from the Psalms, Old Testament, and New Testament. Each day includes a devotional primer to help prepare your heart and mind for a deeper, more meaningful encounter with Scripture. While this plan is designed to align with Holy Week in April, it can be used at any time, though it will be most relevant during that season.

Reading With the People of God #12 - the Good Life

“You have heard it said…” 

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus begins to rebuild and reform our understanding of life in His Kingdom. In Matthew 5-7, He challenges the religious traditions of His day and the competing worldviews of our own. His words are a call to transformation—a new way to live under His reign. As Jesus lays the foundation for His Kingdom, we are invited to tear down false beliefs and build our lives on His truth. 

The Rebuild: Matthew 5-7

Reflect on some of the highlights from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 and consider how He teaches us to live in a way that looks upside-down to the world around us.

Sermon on the Mount 

Join us for 7 days of exploring the Lord's Prayer. Each day focuses on a different part of this simple but powerful prayer, helping you understand its meaning and apply it to your daily life. Through thoughtful reflections and practical application, you'll discover how these ancient words can transform your prayer life and deepen your relationship with God.

Living Changed: The Lord’s Prayer

Over the next forty days we will journey together through the Gospel of Matthew that we might center our hearts on Jesus.  Each day of Lent will include a short video devotional (4-7 minutes) given by one of our church members at the City Church Beijing International Christian Fellowship.

It is our hope that these devotionals will remind us of who Jesus is and why He came. 

Worship Him

Finding Freedom: The Lord’s Prayer

This plan walks through the Lord’s Prayer line by line, helping you rediscover its power beyond mere familiarity. We’ll explore the key themes woven into its words—beginning with worship, moving through provision, pardon, forgiveness, and protection, and ending once again in worship. The Lord’s Prayer isn’t just a routine—it’s a rhythm. A holy cadence that syncs our hearts with heaven.

Below as in Above: 5 Days in the Lord's Prayer

The incredible story of Jesus’ horrific death and miraculous resurrection has been retold so many times that, if we’re not careful, we might overlook the significance of some of the smaller details of the events that took place between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. In the “Open Up” Bible study, we’re going to take a closer look at four things that miraculously “opened” in Matthew 27:50-56 immediately following Jesus' last breath. Prayerfully, as we dive deeper into this passage together, the Holy Spirit will open up our hearts to the profound implications of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection!

Open Up

Your dream isn’t in the boat. It’s on the waves. God is calling you to step out. In this six-day plan, Jason Mendis walks us out onto the water, to the astonishing encounter between Peter and Jesus. Those who have water-walking faith are brave enough to launch into the unknown. They hear the voice of God. Acting on it, they fix their gaze on Jesus and trust Him. 

Water-Walking Faith

What did Jesus mean when he said, "Seek first the Kingdom of God"? Explore these famous words of Jesus found in Matthew 6:33, and consider his way of valuing love and life more than status and wealth. Jesus never minimizes physical needs, but he helps us rethink the things we often love most.

BibleProject | How to Seek First the Kingdom

In a world that is seemingly losing its footing, Jesus, in the greatest sermon ever delivered, challenges us to take the higher ground. Jesus' Sermon on the Mount is a powerful message that has captivated hearts for centuries, and now you have the opportunity to journey through it one day at a time, gaining a deeper understanding of its profound wisdom and application in your life.

Higher Ground - the Sermon on the Mount

Who is Jesus? This is the ultimate question. Because if Jesus really is who He said He is, it changes everything. But if Jesus is not who He said He is, it also changes everything. Join us in part three of our journey through the Gospel of Matthew to continue to discover the answer to this ultimate question.

Who Is Jesus? Part 3

Who is Jesus? This is the ultimate question. Because if Jesus really is who He said He is, it changes everything. But if Jesus is not who He said He is, it also changes everything. Join us in the final part of our journey through the Gospel of Matthew as we discover the answer to this ultimate question.


Who Is Jesus? Part 4

Set aside seven days to pray and reflect upon the wisdom and insight Jesus gave us through the Lord’s Prayer. It is the model for prayer that Jesus taught His disciples and that can bless and teach us today. This devotional will give you an insider’s understanding as to what our Heavenly Father desires for us. 

Discovering  the Lord’s Prayer

With more than fifty citations from the Old Testament, Matthew stands in the gap to unfold the grand drape of the New Testament stage, proclaiming that all messianic prophecies in the past have now been fulfilled in Jesus. The Kingdom of God will now be extended through the building of Christ’s church, and the promise to make Abraham’s descendants numerous will now be fulfilled through the Great Commission.

Through the Bible: Matthew

Matthew’s Gospel opens the New Testament by brilliantly introducing the culmination of the entire Old Testament story. After thousands of years and dozens of generations, Jesus had come “to save his people from their sins” (Mathew 1:21). Matthew focuses on Jesus as King of Kings, who had come to reign on the throne of David forever. 

Christ as King: A Study in Matthew

When my extended family gathered at my dying grandmother’s bedside, I was called on to lead us in prayer. I had no idea what to pray. Grandma was a follower of Jesus, but that made knowing how to pray only slightly easier. If you have ever found yourself not knowing how to pray, join us as we listen to The Master teach us what matters most in prayer.

Our Lord and His Prayer

Join us for a 90-day Bible Reading Plan dedicated to reading through the four gospels! It will open discussions, lead you to personal growth and multiply your view of our marvelous Savior!

Holy 90 (The Four Gospels)

What do we do when our expectations for life do not match the realities we face? Matthew 21-28 encourages overwhelmed people with the simple reminder of an iron-clad truth: Jesus wins! In the darkness of whatever valley you may be walking through, the journey of Jesus’ last week reminds us that the kingdom Jesus established plays by different rules. In this eight day series, experience Holy Week on Jesus' terms.

Jesus Wins! A Holy Week Devotional

In Matthew 26-28, we read in detail about Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection. This reading plan will help you go step by step through this impressive story and discover how these events have great meaning for you as well.

The Death and Resurrection of the King

Matthew, one of Jesus’ inner circle, was inspired by God to write one of the four biographies about Jesus, and it can change your life. From the ultimate message on Christian living (Sermon on the Mount) to the invitation to find rest in Jesus, from the parables to understand God and grace to the final week of Jesus’ life, Matthew offers us a Jesus Christ Crash Course.

Jesus Christ Crash Course (Part 2)

Jesus emphasized the importance of the faith of people in enabling God to work in great power. But what does faith-filled prayer that moves mountains look like? There are many misconceptions around the place. This plan takes you through seven of Jesus' statements on faith in the Gospel of Matthew and draws out a clear picture of mountain-moving faith that will both encourage and challenge you. 

Mountain Moving Faith and Prayer

The Lord's Prayer (The Model Prayer)

In part three of this verse-by-verse breakdown of the Gospel of Matthew, we'll work our way through Matthew 8-12.



Matthew 8-12: The Mission of the Kingdom

This week, explore the final days in the life of Christ. If you had one week to live, what would you do? Where would you go? Who would you see? The answers disclose the deepest values of someone’s heart and life. Spend seven days reflecting on the mission and priorities of our Lord and asking yourself if you live by the same. Let's head to the cross together. 

His Last Week

The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ orientation address to His disciples. In the rest of the New Testament we find more details on how to build our lives to maturity, as individuals and as part of a church. But we can begin at no better place than here. This is where the Lord chooses to begin His disciples’ training with solid building blocks for a godly life.

Building On The Rock

Our Saviour King came into this world not riding on a horse, surrounded by an army, wearing armor, or crowned with a golden crown. No, our Saviour came into the world as a baby, unexpected, unannounced, and unexceptionally. We hope that through this plan, as you reflect on the meaning of the birth of Jesus Christ, you’ll be reminded that Christmas isn’t just an event in history to be remembered. 

Real Hope: The Birth of Our Saviour King

Focusing on key Scriptures that associate light with the character and person of Christ, the ten devotions for women in this uplifting plan are meant to empower YOU to creatively carry His light wherever YOU go.

Made To Shine: Enjoy & Reflect God's Light

In the face of loss or fear, we might wonder how we could ever be joyful. Jesus told his disciples about eight key attitudes that lead to joy, no matter our circumstances. This passage in Matthew, called the Beatitudes, includes some of the most familiar but misunderstood verses in the Bible. These verses can teach us to experience a joy unlike any other!

18 Minutes With Jesus

The Christmas story is found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. An Angel visits Mary to tell her that she would give birth to the Son of God. Jesus is born in Bethlehem. The shepherds come to see him, and the Magi from the east follow a star to Jesus.

The Christmas Story

This reading plan will take teens through the “Parable of the Soils” that Jesus taught in Matthew 13. Written by teens for teens, this plan will help us discover how hearing and understanding God’s Word for our lives causes us to bear fruit in every season.

Experience Easter in a new way as we journey through the Holy Week activities that led up to Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. From clearing the temple to embracing solitude and rest, the Holy Week of Jesus prepares us to encounter resurrection life in a new way!

Holy Week

Prayer is an intimate conversation with God. But how do we pray? Why do we pray? Does God hear our prayers? 
In the 6th Chapter of Matthew, Jesus gives us detailed instructions on prayer, including the Lord's Prayer. This study from The Preacher's Outline & Sermon Bible digs deep into Jesus's words in verses 5-24, examining our motives and attitudes about prayer, and teaching us how to pray.

Seeking A Prayerful Life

This reading plan is part of a series that will take you through the entire New Testament in a year. Each month's plan covers a specific book or books. December focuses on Matthew. The plan is designed to be used with a small group of friends. Read the daily passage first, reflect on one or all of the questions, and try the engagement practice.  

New Testament in a Year: December

This plan is designed to provide a special time alone with the Lord during Holy Week. Each day you will be prompted to pause, ponder, and pray through a passage in the Gospel of Matthew. Your heart will be encouraged, your faith strengthened, and your prayer life enriched as you prepare for Easter. May it impact your walk with the Lord for years to come.


Holy Week: Pause. Ponder. Pray.

Who Is Jesus? Part 1

Tony Evans gives you a book summary for each of the Gospels in this four-day reading plan, helping you to gain a broader understanding of this important section of the Bible. 

Overview Of The Gospels

It’s hard to describe what the kingdom of God is like, so Jesus makes comparisons to things we know, and contrasts his kingdom with the religious establishment. In our hearts we know what God is really like, but Jesus shows us with his life, and finally his death. But that’s not the end of the story…

Daily Bible Reading, January 2023 - God’s Saving Word: Unity in Christ Jesus

Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount resounds in history as the most compact teaching, full of wisdom and truth for our daily lives. Christ’s teachings aren’t just practical; they’re a radical call to love others and follow him. Far from pithy advice, Jesus’ sermon represents a heavy demand for those who want to become his disciple. Sit at the feet of Jesus with this companion to the Sermon on the Mount.

What Is God’s Purpose for My Life? The Sermon on the Mount

Mary & Joseph’s walk of obedience brought God’s deliverance for all men. Mary kept the promise of God her focus by surrounded herself with miracle believing people. Joseph's obedience was necessary for Mary’s promise to be fulfilled.

When Jesus said that the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few, he also provided the initial step for solving this dilemma. “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field” (Matthew 9:37-38, Luke 10:2, NIV). This plan examines how praying “sending prayers,” enables followers of Jesus, to have an impact in advancing the gospel.

Loving God Big 

When Jesus stepped onto the stage of history, He didn’t set out with the goal of simply starting a new religion. He came to introduce a whole new way of life defined by loving God with all we are and loving others as He has loved us. In this Plan, we will journey through Matthew’s Gospel with the purpose of making Jesus’ way of life, our way of life.

Learning the Jesus Way of Life

In this plan, we will discuss each attitude found in Matthew 5. As we dive into scripture, you will see how these beatitudes come with promises of blessing.
