Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Revelation 22:5

There’s a lot that we don’t know about work in heaven and on the New Earth. But there’s also a lot that we do know. In this devotional plan, we’ll unpack five under-explored biblical truths about our eternal vocation and what they mean for our work today!

This five-day plan explores various angelic encounters that announced the arrival of the Messiah. We’ll consider Zechariah's doubt, Mary's humility, Joseph's obedience, and the shepherds' exuberance. Angels should not be worshiped, but they model true worship when they sing, “Glory to God in the highest!” This Christmas, marvel with the angels at the Savior born in the city of David who is Christ the Lord.

You are being formed. The only question is what is forming you? The truth is that your life will look like whatever you love most. What you spend time consuming will inform who you become. Your focus today will determine the trajectory of who you are years from now. In this five-day devotional form Kyle Worley, discover God's invitation for you: to be formed for fellowship with Him and with one another.

Heaven is a central theme of our faith and yet is often misunderstood. Many long for hope, but their idea of heaven remains abstract and distant. However, the Bible shows us that heaven is real and tangible—and begins today. Those who recognize what is to come live changed in the here and now. In this reading plan, we discover how God is already bringing heaven into our everyday lives.

Join us in this Advent devotional journey as we prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and look forward with hope to His promised return. Over these readings, we will reflect on the wonder of Christ’s first coming, God made flesh to dwell among us, and the assurance of His second coming, when He will make all things new. Each day will include a passage from the Christmas narrative, an Old Testament passage fulfilled or alluded to in Christ’s birth, and a passage from Revelation to help us look ahead to His coming kingdom.

The book we often avoid reading is the very book God promises to bless us for reading. A world of angels and demons, eagles and beasts. Images that seem strange at first glance. What if they are more than unusual creatures? What if they are symbols of familiar concepts and systems waiting to be "revealed"? Step in. Look closer. Revelation may be unveiling far more than you think.

The resurrection of Jesus is the beginning of God’s new creation. In raising Jesus from the dead, God did not undo the crucifixion but vindicated Jesus and dealt sin and death a final blow. Death does not have the final word. Sin does not win in the end. The power of God’s love ultimately triumphs over all the schemes of the evil one. These five devotionals draw upon themes from Derek Vreeland’s Bible study Resurrection: 8 Lessons on How God Restores Us.

There’s a redemption deeper than any pain. Start this Life.Church Bible Plan to follow along with Pastor Craig Groeschel’s new series, How Sweet the Sound. 

Many of us have thought about what our heavenly home will be like. In Plan 13 of Revelation, we read the description of heaven and start painting all these wonderful pictures in our minds. But we will never come close to picturing what God our Father has in store for us. So let us take heed of Jesus final message in Revelation and make sure we don’t miss out on what God is preparing for us.

Within Eden, sin moved in and made its home in the world. A world of God’s creation became tainted by a curse of our own doing. There is no doubt that sin came to ravage all things good, but woven throughout all of Scripture is the story of God working all things out for His good. We brought sin into the story, but God is reversing the curse.

Like a good meal, renewing your zeal for the Lord includes many courses. Let this 6-step plan whet your appetite for a closer walk with God.

Advent begins four Sundays before Christmas Day. During this time, the Church universal is invited to become more intentional: 1) to look back in thankfulness for Jesus’ birth; and 2) to look forward in the hope of full restoration when He comes again.

Many churches today preach an abridged version of “the gospel” that 1) makes it impossible to see the sacredness of your "secular" work and 2) unintentionally diminishes the power of Christ’s redemption. Join me in this six-day plan as we unpack The Unabridged Gospel that makes much more of your vocation and, more importantly, our Savior!

Jesus Christ’s resurrection is the pivotal event of history and the linchpin of our faith. As Alistair Begg explains, it is from this source that we who are in Christ draw our hope for eternal life, carrying us through the trials of this world. We look forward to a day when God will transform us in glory and death will be finally defeated.

The book of Revelation was originally written to give hope to the early church when Christians were being persecuted. It was written to a generation of Christians yet to come who will experience what Jesus described as “great distress” (Matthew 24:21). As Christians we are called to lift up our heads and open our eyes to the Person of Jesus Christ … and we will find that the vision is glorious! Dedicated to the hopeless.

Revelation is not just about the future. It spoke to the church at the time John wrote it, and it speaks to us in our day, as well. Revelation has a meaning and message not just for the future but for us every day. Check this 6 day study of the final chapters of Revelation.

Have you ever prayed a prayer that God didn’t answer? Few things are harder to process. Why would a loving God seem to hold back, allowing his child to endure such deep suffering? In this 6-day devotional, missionaries David and Alicia Lloyd wrestle with these questions alongside you. After losing their son, daughter-in-law, and beloved co-worker in a gang attack, they share what it looks like to hold onto faith in the midst of disappointment and suffering.

Christians often hear the idea that following Jesus means that we should be living a life of full satisfaction. How many of us actually experience that kind of life? Amy Simpson explains that our very unsatisfaction indicates a longing for God and those longings can bring us closer with him.

Three times in I Samuel, Jonathan said to his young armor bearer, "Come, Let's Go!" Three times in Revelation 22 Jesus said, "I'm coming soon!" It's been more than 2,000 years since Jesus made this promise. Jesus gave the church a simple job to do. It's called the Great Commission. So church, why hasn't Jesus COME back yet? We need discipleship in evangelism! COME, LET'S GO!

“May God make his face shine on you” is not sentimental cliché. It’s a powerful statement of the intimate relationship God wants people to experience in his presence. The blessing authored by God himself was audacious in the historical context in which it was given and it encapsulates a shocking (and wonderful) future hope of relating to God face-to-face. It calls us to reflect his shine into the world.

The amazing grace that we receive through Jesus Christ our Savior empowers us to live a Christian life in every circumstance. This plan will guide you through aspects of grace in a theological, biblical, and practical way. Because of God’s amazing grace, we are saved, and because of his amazing grace, we can walk in faithfulness and obedience to Jesus.

Flourishing in Jesus is about leaving behind a shallow faith for a deeper walk with him. It isn’t about attaining perfection or arriving at a specific destination. It’s not about having your life put together or avoiding struggles. It’s about flourishing where you’ve been planted. As a Well-Watered Woman, you won’t have a perfect life, but it will be full of hope, brimming with purpose, and fueled by grace.
