Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to 2 Corinthians 4:18

This week, we will explore spiritual formation through the lens of Jesus’ Great Commandment (Mark 12:28-34) to understand how we can love Him with every part of our lives. God’s goal for men is not perfection or performance, but transformation. He is shaping your heart, soul, mind, strength, and relationships to look more like Jesus. Written by Dean Brenton.

Rediscover the revolutionary truth of God’s gracious acceptance of you in Christ. Are you trying to be more patient? More generous? More … religious? It’s time to learn to simply abide in Jesus. When you’re captivated by the love of Christ, the natural results are patience, generosity, kindness, self-control, selflessness, and much more. The gospel is the power of God and the only true source of joy, freedom, and audacious faith. 

If you are in bondage to something and it seems that you can’t overcome it, then this plan was designed with you in mind.

A free guide including these reflections along with activities and additional devotional content is also available for download from D. L. Moody Center.

Highs and lows... just like many of our wrestling careers, the Gospel has highs and lows, too. It starts with Creation - amazing, remarkable, and miraculous. We've all had a few first periods like that! Then comes the fall of humanity - sin, chaos, and pain. Those are the wrestling matches we like to forget.

In a world filled with chaos and confusion, how do we find our solid ground? Many voices and noises are entering our minds. Jesus often went away to hear the voice of His Father, the ONE voice that matters. His example calls us to consider “silence and solitude” as a place to reconsider, reprioritize, and rejuvenate. From this place, we can learn to walk with peace of mind.

This is week two in a seven-week series that walks you through the struggles of anxiety while holding on to biblical truth and God’s promises. This eight-day plan provides encouragement and practical application to align your heart and mind with the love of Jesus in the midst of anxiety. This week’s promise: God is my comfort.

In our never-satisfied world, our souls hunger for more, and it’s tempting to reach for the wrong “food” to satisfy our needs. Thankfully, Jesus is the bread of life who offers us himself through the life-giving and sustainable feast of Scripture (John 6:35). But how often do we sit at Christ’s table, truly hungry for his word? Join Kristen Wetherell through an eight day study helping readers to reflect on their journey with their Bible and uncover how it is possible to treasure God’s word.

Most people don't like to feel weak. Physical and mental strength are reassuring because they give us the feeling of being in control of our life. But unfortunately, every person faces weakness from time to time. How does that work in the life of a follower of Jesus? Paul, a believer we meet in the Bible, has something to say about that. We are going to listen to his thoughts in this reading plan.

Who’s involved in “The Evangelism Arena"? An overarching answer is found in 2nd Corinthians 4:1-7. Through an examination of those verses, Dr. P. J.

Through these insights, may Christ-followers increase their understanding of evangelism, and by God’s grace, be encouraged to endure as a witness for Jesus.

A YouVersion Devotional by Christin Rosa

We are told to reject suffering and pain, but what do you do when you are confronted with suffering through sudden illness, loss, abandonment, heartbreak and more? This devotional draws you into the journey of suffering, healing and finding beauty in the beast of pain. We ultimately learn how to suffer 'well' through the counsel of Scripture and develop a renewed faith in the power of prayer.

This holiday season, take some time to slow down and reflect on God's goodness and the precious gift of Christ with us.

When Jesus speaks about his ministry, He says that his goal is to give people abundant life. That’s the reason why He has come to this earth: “that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). What is this abundant, eternal life like? Let’s read what the Bible tells us about this topic.

You have a story. It is a story worth telling. And it has an Author. This plan will equip and inspire you to be more effective at sharing that story with your friends who desperately need to hear it. Most people come to faith through a friend or family member. Let this plan encourage you to connect God's story to the story of your not-yet Christian friends.

How many times have we wanted to go back in time to remedy the mistakes made or to avoid unpleasant situations? Unfortunately, this desire remains only a dream because we cannot travel in time. But in Christ, we have the possibility to use the present time in the best way, recovering through faith every moment of our life and spending it in the abundance of God's blessing. How is this possible?

Life brings trials, but God’s grace sustains us. Peter’s letters offer wisdom on faith, endurance, and living with hope. Each day, we’ll explore Scripture, reflect on its truth, and grow in God’s strength. No matter where you are in your journey, His grace is enough. Join in as we learn to stand firm and live boldly for Christ!

Faith isn’t based on emotions or circumstances, but on a revelation of who God is. In this plan by David Campbell, discover how the Holy Spirit anchors our faith in God’s character and equips us to walk in His purpose. Even in uncertainty, God is more than enough.

When the journey of faith often leads into uncertainty—it doesn’t mean you’re lost, it means you’re climbing. Hiking the Clouds explores the second half of faith: less about certainty and more about surrender. Joël Malm draws from 2 Peter 1 to map out waypoints of spiritual growth. It’s for believers rethinking how they experience God as they walk on the journey to maturity. And maturity is walking in Agape.

This 9-day plan will walk you through the book of 2 Corinthians by reading a short passage daily. Each day is accompanied by a short video that explains what you're reading and how it's all about Jesus. In this plan, you will learn how God's strength is made perfect in our weakness.

We all face crises in life – and they can shake us to our very core. The new Alcon Entertainment/Warner Bros. film THE 33 tells the true-life story of the Chilean miners whose crisis was being trapped underground for 69 days after a catastrophic cave-in. While the story ended joyously – all 33 were rescued – the film depicts the emotional and physical turmoil of their time in crisis. Are you in turmoil today? This devotional is designed to help you navigate some of the thoughts and feelings you may encounter as you walk out your trial. The messages over these 10 days are not intended to be a “cure” for the circumstances you find yourself in, only daily encouragement as you lean into God to navigate your way back to daylight.
