Watch Message Here: All In Week 1
Here's a 5-day Bible reading plan and devotional guide based on the message.
Day 1: Embracing God's Opportunities
Reading: Ephesians 5:15-17
Devotional: In our fast-paced world, it's easy to miss the opportunities God places before us. Just as the church in the sermon faced a pivotal moment to expand its ministry, we too are constantly presented with chances to grow in faith and impact others. Today's reading reminds us to make the most of every opportunity. Reflect on the areas of your life where you might be resisting change or clinging to comfort. Ask God to open your eyes to the possibilities He's offering and give you the courage to step out in faith. Remember, growth doesn't happen in comfort zones. What "new thing" might God be inviting you into today?
Day 2: Overcoming Fear with Faith
Reading: 2 Timothy 1:6-7
Devotional: Fear can be paralyzing, preventing us from seizing the opportunities God provides. The sermon mentioned how fear of the unknown can hold us back from God's best. Today's Scripture reminds us that God hasn't given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline. When facing decisions or challenges, it's natural to feel afraid. But we're called to move forward in faith, trusting that God is with us. Reflect on a situation in your life where fear might be holding you back. How can you apply the power, love, and self-discipline God has given you to that situation? Ask God to help you see beyond your limitations to His unlimited potential.
Day 3: Being Part of God's Story
Reading: Ephesians 4:11-16
Devotional: The sermon emphasized the importance of each person playing their part in the body of Christ. Today's reading expands on this, showing how we all have a role in building up the church. God has gifted each of us uniquely, and when we use those gifts, the entire body benefits. Consider your own gifts and talents. How are you currently using them to serve others and build up the church? Are there new ways you could get involved? Remember, the church isn't just a building or a Sunday service – it's a living, breathing community of believers working together to share God's love with the world. How can you be more intentional about playing your part?
Day 4: Embracing Change for God's Glory
Reading: Isaiah 43:18-19
Devotional: Change can be uncomfortable, but it's often necessary for growth. The sermon discussed how resistance to change can cause us to miss God-given opportunities. Today's verse reminds us that God is always doing something new. He's not bound by our past experiences or current circumstances. As you read this passage, consider what "new thing" God might be doing in your life or in your church. Are you open to it, or are you clinging to the familiar? Ask God to give you a spirit of openness and excitement for the new paths He may be creating. Remember, our comfort is not God's priority – our growth and His glory are.
Day 5: Seizing Opportunities to Share God's Love
Reading: Galatians 6:9-10
Devotional: The sermon highlighted how younger generations are increasingly open to faith, presenting a unique opportunity for the church. Today's reading encourages us not to grow weary in doing good, but to take every opportunity to show love to others. This is a call to action – to be intentional about sharing God's love with those around us. Reflect on your daily interactions. Are there people in your life who need to experience God's love through you? It might be a coworker, a neighbor, or even a family member. Ask God to show you specific ways you can demonstrate His love today. Remember, small acts of kindness can have eternal impact. Don't underestimate the power of a genuine smile, a listening ear, or a helping hand in pointing others to Christ.
