Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Revelation 3:14

Revelation is a wake-up call, not a blueprint for the final apocalypse. In the opening chapters, John writes directly to seven churches about how they need to wake up. You might find yourself in one of these churches needing a similar jolt. Taken from Scot McKnight's New Testament Everyday study on Revelation.

The book of Revelation is filled with mystery and wonder, but it also contains powerful messages for believers in every generation. In the opening chapters, Jesus addresses seven churches, each with unique strengths and weaknesses. In this seven-day devotional, we'll explore what Jesus had to say to each of these churches, drawing out lessons that still apply to our lives as modern believers.

Worship is defined as the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity. If this is the definition of worship, then Jesus is the only one who deserves worship, no one else and nothing else. Worship is not just the songs we sing at church or the raising of our hands but worship as defined by the Bible is giving our lives as living sacrifice to God who is the object, the reason and the meaning of our worship.

If we are honest, we admit that the Bible can be confusing, even the New Testament. But to truly understand and apply the Bible well, we need to understand the cultural background of the passages we are reading. This 10-day plan is based on Craig Keener's New Testament Background course on Seminary Now.

Everyone loves to receive mail, especially when it’s from someone we deeply love or respect. How much more, then, would you long to know what Jesus would say to you in a letter? The truth is that He did write letters to His church—specifically, to seven first-century churches. Are you prepared to read what the risen Christ has written?

This reading plan will introduce you to the background and primary message of the Book of Revelation. It also explores the structure, content, original meaning and modern application of the Book of Revelation.

Jesus Christ came to earth for a purpose. His coming was a conscious decision. During the years in which He traveled around the land of Israel and made God's Kingdom known, He also explained why He came to earth. Several times, we read in the Gospels: “I have come to...”. This reading plan aims to trace some of those statements to make us aware of Jesus’ mission.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ is a book about what will happen in the future; but perhaps more importantly, it’s a book about who controls the future. More than sixty years after Jesus rose from the dead, He appears once again to His disciple John to tell him about the things to come. John sees Jesus in a whole new way: He is now risen, glorified, and clearly in charge of the universe. Jesus is Lord of everyone, everywhere, forever. The question for you and me is whether we will trust Him with our lives, believing that He holds both the present and the future in His all-powerful and loving hands.

In various parts of the Bible, Jesus Christ draws our attention toward the blessings He has in store for believers who endure to the end. These promises are meant to encourage us to “run with endurance the race that is set before us”. For if we do so, we will achieve victory with Jesus!

God began by calling a man, then a nation, and finally through Jesus, established a church. The Basic Training Challenge provides you with a starting point to learn about God’s mission here on earth through the Christian church.

Every successful mission starts with a vision and a group of people united to fight for it. We seek justice, order, equality, and peace in hopes of creating a better world.

Hosting people, especially around the holidays, can be a joy—but it can also be a burden. God offers us a different way. The Bible shows hospitality as a practical way to demonstrate love for others in service to God. In this 15-day series, consider how to follow God's example of love and service and accept God's good gifts of hospitality to you.

As Christ-followers we acknowledge that Jesus is not only our Savior, but also our Lord. We recognize that everything belongs to Him and that we’re only stewards of His good gifts. Through this plan’s devotional content and brief Scripture readings, you’ll discover that being a good steward of those gifts requires that we become more and more like Him—the essence of conformity.

God speaks to us through his Word. It provides all the guidance we need for our lives.

How is Revelation relevant today? When Jesus sent messages to the seven churches, was He also speaking to the 21st century church?
