23 Day Reading Plan: August 2023
I have good news: Jesus Christ is STILL Risen! Yes, and the power that raised Him from the dead is NOW at work in you, and in me! Isn’t that absolutely mind-blowing!
With that in mind, we are going to explore 23 days of real-life moments in which ordinary people like you and I were filled, changed and/or transformed by the Holy Spirit’s dynamic power that is on display both IN us and THROUGH us!
We will read of a new community that is birthed by the Holy Spirit…which we call the Church. We will read incredible, mind-blowing accounts of a fisherman who only 50 days earlier was afraid to even acknowledge that he knew Jesus, will become a bold public powerhouse that is not afraid of anyone. All this will happen after he receives the POWER of the Holy Spirit. We will read of a Jesus-hater who becomes a crazy Jesus-lover. By the power of the Spirit.
So as we read, ask yourself a few questions:
WHO is being changed? HOW are they being changed? WHAT is the hope I can receive from this passage for my life today? What is the hope for our churches today, based on these passages?
Am I changing…or am I BEING CHANGED? Am I trying to change my circumstances in my own strength, or am I learning to surrender control of life to the POWER that raised Jesus from the dead?
Read. Pray. Live.
