Luke 18:26 සම්බන්ධව නිදහස් කියවීමේ සැලසුම් සහ පූජනීයත්වය

We all know we should give, but our flesh doesn’t want to give. So in order to better live out a life of generosity in our lives, we need some inspiration from the Bible, and that is what this short plan on giving and generosity will do for you.

One way to understand what God wants to do through us by the power of the Holy Spirit is to take a closer look at what He did through Jesus’ disciples by the power of the same Holy Spirit. Take Peter, for instance, the first apostle to speak up at Pentecost. His life is a case study for the kind of radical transformation the Holy Spirit brings about in people who put their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation.  

These five reflections from scripture through the prisms of Jesus, Paul, Solomon, and Wesley, plus the subject of debt, are not exhaustive and, for the sake of continuity, are selective. I am not trying to say everything, but I hope what you read will bring a biblically faithful perspective, if not the whole story.

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.

Anyone who has said a Big Yes to Jesus will want others to say a Big Yes to Him too. And yet a person’s conversion is often marked not just by a Big Yes but by many Little Yeses, and even some Healthy Maybes along the way. Join Mark Greenwood for this five-day plan and be equipped to kindly, sensitively, boldly, and patiently share the good news of Jesus.

The Bible has a lot to say about riches and wealth. Some believers either believe God requires a life of lack or that God shouldn’t have a say in their wealth. Neither could be further from the truth. This 5-day plan will help readers gain a biblical understanding and perspective on riches and wealth, apply it to their lives, and prepare them to share this learning with others.

Our society has become increasingly materialistic, with many Christians falling right in line behind the cash register. This plan looks at some of what the Bible says about wealth. Part six of eight in the "Jesus, I Want to Love You" Series, focusing on knowing and loving Jesus more. These plans can be done in any order. See also "Jesus, I Want to Love You" (companion prayer) by Thistlebend Ministries.

“Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus...” On the way to his execution, Jesus has six encounters between Luke 17-19. As the story unfolds, we see Him define His kingdom and redefine who’s welcome – all while giving us glimpses of His heart, our need, and the simple nature of true faith.

Sometimes, we have to go through circumstances that we don’t understand. Knowing that all things work together for our good encourages us and gives us hope for the future. The goal of this reading plan about Romans 8:28 is to engrave this truth into your heart: God causes everything to work together for your good!

This 7 day devotional will help you align your heart with God's, seeing the role sacrifice plays in the life of every follower of Jesus Christ.

If we take an honest look at ourselves, we may find that our hearts have become hard. Based on a sermon by Pastor Tyler Staton of Oaks Church Brooklyn, this 7-day study using LUMO videos allows us to learn how Jesus has come to uncover and change those hardened heart responses that are getting in the way of the fruitful life He has for you and I.

Have you ever been part of a group that spent a lot of time discussing the concept of discipleship, and yet the members did not appear to grow much as disciples? Jesus not only gives us instructions about the nature of discipleship; He demonstrates principles about how disciples are developed. Let’s look at seven principles that Jesus used consistently as He developed the people around Him.

Does is seem strange that loving God and others more fully would be the result of a book focused on money? Dig into these excerpts showing what Jesus taught and we forgot. Swap duty for freedom, worry for gratitude, envy for joy as you begin to understand your calling to be God’s steward.

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? Read and listen to these Bible stories about men who were rich and poor, and discover how God offers us true prosperity.

We are in an unseen battle – a fight not won with fists, but won with truth and love. It is a spiritual fight, one we are all engaged in. It is a fight that will change everything. This 10-day devotional will equip you for this Good Fight.

This reading plan explores the third Gospel. Luke described Jesus Christ as the one who saves. Humanity is lost and desperate, without help or hope, in need of salvation. The third Gospel reminds us that Jesus died to save us.

Theologian Krish Kandiah had been a missionary, a youth worker and a pastor – but for all his Christian qualifications, he found himself lost in his relationship with God. That was until he rediscovered his Christian faith through a simple secret: he was adopted by God. Krish shows us how the doctrine of adoption helps us to understand everything; it gives us purpose and power, perspective and peace.

God gave the Israelites instructions on how to serve Him and how to treat fellow people. These “ten commandments” were like a constitution designed by God Himself, meant for his glory and the well-being of the people. They are still a valuable guideline for our life with God and with other people. This Reading Plan studies all ten commandments and the summary that Jesus gave us.
