Tasuta lugemisplaanid ja palveraamatud seoses Ephesians 4:8

The single command Jesus gave his followers before igniting his movement was “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised...” (Acts 1:4). He was telling them to wait and then move with the Spirit. For a movement to accomplish God's mission, it must be guided by the Spirit of God. We want to challenge every leader at Exponential with the big idea of Spirit-filled: Moving With The Spirit.

Jesus spoke of the Holy Spirit as the One who was to come once He left the earth. This Bible plan is written to help the reader understand the person and work of the Holy Spirit. The hope is that you would be overjoyed in encountering and walking with the Holy Spirit for the rest of your life.

What did Jesus say about serving? What does serving look like? Is serving optional for the disciple of Jesus? Serving is a pivotal characteristic of our Master, Jesus. Since this was so important to Him, and since He served better than anyone else ever has or will, it is critical that men know what He was talking about, and we will take this week to explore it. Written by Tim Bergmann.

We are not called to mediocracy. We are called to boldness. To fearlessness. To purpose. To lasting impact. We are to share God's legacy, to really know Him, and make Him known. As a believer, YOU are appointed into the Army of God. In this study, we will look at what is "Appointed by God," how it transcribes into our lives, and how to walk in this divine marking of God for kingdom expansion!

Who am I? How can I find purpose when life seems so complicated? These are questions we all ask, but very rarely do we find answers to these questions. Thankfully God gives us the answers in His Word. Based on Rachel Jankovic's You Who: Why You Matter and How to Deal with It, this reading plan points to the Scriptures and the light they shed on our identity.

Parenting is a difficult task. Yet, it is the very first commandment God gave Adam and Eve when He created them: to be fruitful and multiply. As Christian parents, we are supposed to raise our children to honor the Lord. While it is not easy, there are tools that God gave us to do it right. This devotional will equip you with the knowledge necessary to be a godly parent.

To effectively represent Christ in this world, there’s an anointing uniquely designed for your assignment. In this devotional, we’ll explore practical and spiritual ways to model the anointing on your life, grow in intimacy with God, and walk boldly in the grace He’s placed upon you. This plan will help you understand your unique calling and stir up the gifts you have in Christ.

“If God changes lives, why is mine stuck in the mud?” Have you ever wondered something like that? Christians know they’re “new creatures” in Christ, but what happens when it feels like change—true change—is just not possible? In this nine-part study, Pastor Chip Ingram walks us through the biblical answer: Yes, you really CAN change! Get started now!

Is it important to be part of a church if you believe in Jesus? What does Scripture say about the body of Christ? This 9-day study helps us to understand what the Bible teaches about the church and its significance for Christians today and throughout history.

When we pray following the Bible text, we open ourselves to the topics that God chooses. This guide contains instructions and questions that help us after reading God’s Word written in the Epistle to the Ephesians to accept the Word personally and continue talking with God. In this way, the eternal Word of God enters our everyday life and changes both us and the circumstances in which we live.

In order to know God, we must understand the Trinity: one God as Three Persons, an inherently Relational Being. This Plan examines the Three Persons of the Trinity. Looking at this Relationship teaches us valuable and applicable life lessons including the importance of intentional community, the Biblical call to reconciliation, the practice of hospitality, and the central importance of prayer and worship.

God graciously gives us red flags in life. He is faithful to give us warnings regarding our relationships, our decisions, and ourselves. This devotional will focus on the red flags in relationships, the red flags in marriages, and the red flags in ourselves. He intends to use the red flags in our life to warn us, mold us, and make us more like Jesus.

We are the church. Jesus didn’t come to start a building campaign; He came to build a family. He set us free from sin and give us a relationship with God. The same way that we don’t stop being related to our families when we leave the house, Ephesians reminds us that our relationship with God is not limited to gathering on Sunday.

Join us as we read about the transformation of the heart, a revelation of God’s purpose, and gifts of the Spirit that are given freely to those who love Him. It is His will for us to find hope, and the glory of His inheritance. God gives us a reason to dream about the greatness of His power.

The Bible tells the story of how the kingdom of God will reach out to all the nations of the earth. In this reading plan we will look at some of the most essential aspects of God´s mission and our call to reach out with his gospel.

We dive deep into every chapter of Ephesians in this Bible plan so that we get to chew on the familiar scriptures that we could so easily overlook. Our desire is that as you study this book alone or with friends that God speaks to you on your divine purpose in this world and gives you the needed direction for the road ahead.

Ephesians 4:8 says that when Jesus ascended to Heaven, He gave gifts to men. These gifts are the ministry gifts of the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher. Each one has a specific function and is necessary in building up the Body of Christ. This plan focuses on the vital but often misunderstood roles of the apostle and the prophet; what they are and what their purpose is.

There is a growing interest in and movement towards establishing house churches. Even though they date back to the beginning of the New Testament church, they are poorly understood. This Bible plan aims to address that issue and offer the next steps.

God calls upon all men to Serve & Protect society in their everyday lives. From the home to the job, from church to community, we are called to step-up and stand in the gap. This 10-day plan explores how we can serve and protect like Jesus would in specific spheres of society.

The word 'church' is often associated with places of worship, but its usage in the Bible is connected to the community of believers in Christ. In the New Testament, we find that the Church has two aspects. On the one hand, all believers on earth at this time together with all those who have “died in Christ” in past centuries constitute the “Universal Church”. On the other hand, believers who meet in a particular locality form the “local church.” We will examine Paul's Letter to the Ephesians to understand the biblical concept of the church, both universal and local.

With Sandy Tales, we tell the old Bible stories through sand art. All of these stories open windows to the reality of God.

What does it take to be a healthy church? First, embrace how a community, gifted with grace and life in our risen Savior, can bond together. The second half of Ephesians gives us practical truth that equips us for spiritual battle—both as individuals and the collective body of Christ. Join Dr. J. Vernon McGee as he breaks down Ephesians with simple yet profound logic in 11 summaries.

If Romans 1–11 is Paul’s masterpiece of Gospel exposition, then Romans 12 is a masterpiece of Gospel application. God, in His mercy, has invited us to offer our whole selves to Him. He transforms us by renewing our minds, and He teaches us to walk in humility and love—even toward our enemies.

In Christ, you are chosen, made holy, included, and empowered to be all He created you to be. This plan walks women through the book of Ephesians as they learn to live in their new Christ-centered identity.
