Acts 20:14

The Essential 100® Bible Challenge is a simple tool to read through the Big Story of God's Word. The reading plan is based on 50 Old Testament and 50 New Testament passages. Continue with the sixteenth part "The Travels of Paul." ®Produced by American Bible Society in partnership with Scripture Union, Inc.

Ephesians casts God’s vision for his people, and therefore the world. God’s vision is that we’d be one with him and one with each other, living a life worthy of the calling we received. This is the first of several plans through Ephesians, and it starts surprisingly with Ephesians 5:21-33. Here we get some practical advice for husbands and wives, which is about far more than husbands and wives. This short, little passage gives us a window into what Ephesians is about!

This six-day devotional walks through key moments in Acts 17–21 and explores what it means to follow Jesus faithfully in the real world. Through Paul’s ministry, you’ll see how the gospel calls us to know the true God, live as bold witnesses, depend on the Holy Spirit, and choose faithfulness even when it is costly. Each day invites you to reflect on how obedience, humility, and love for others can help more people encounter the life-changing grace of Jesus.

How do we know we're forgiven when we mess up? How do we receive the power for living a new life every day? How do we enjoy a deep, personal connection with God? The same way we got started - by God's grace. Find out how you can live in freedom, purpose, and joy, just as God intended. Experience the full benefits of the simple gospel, simply by grace.
