Going deeper...to go further

Daily Bible reading strengthens our relationship with God, nourishes our spirits and equips us to live a fruitful, effective life for Him.

This month we're looking at scriptures which talk about Jews and Gentiles alongside a passage about love. The first scripture each day follows this outline: 
Days 1-6 - The Foundation & the Prophets
Days 7-10 - Jesus and the Nations
Days 11-19 - The Early Church & the Gentiles
Days 20-30 - God’s Plan for Jews and Gentiles United in Christ
Day 31 - The Final Reminder of God’s Global Kingdom. As we read the Word it’s important that we apply what we read and pray it out over our lives. One of the way you can do this is by using the acronym SOAP. To find out more about SOAP watch this video.

Below you’ll see what we’re reading today. To go forward or back a day in our reading plan use the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons.

Love

  • The nature of God, but not an emotional love; rather a love that is expressed in positive action.
  • God’s love (agape) is expressed in the ways He gives to His people.
  • He has demonstrated His unfailing love for all mankind in sending His Son to die on the cross for them, so taking upon Himself the punishment they deserve.
  • God’s love is expressed in all He does in relation to His people, even when He needs to refine and discipline them.
  • His love is imparted to the hearts of believers by the Holy Spirit.
  • Believers are to love God wholeheartedly, their neighbours as they love themselves and one another in the same way that Jesus Christ has loved them.
  • Those who truly love Jesus obey His commands.
  • To love others with His love is to live for them rather than for yourself; to lay down your life for them by seeking to bless, serve, encourage and give to them in practical ways.

Acts 18:1-11

Paul in Corinth1Then Paul left Athens and went to Corinth where he met a Jew called Aquila.2He had been born in Pontus and had recently arrived from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because the Emperor Claudius had decreed that all Jews must leave Rome.3Like them, Paul was a tent maker by trade; so he stayed and worked with them.4Every Sabbath Paul spoke in the synagogue, trying to convince both Jews and Greeks of the truth of the gospel.5When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul spent all this time preaching, proclaiming to the Jews that Jesus was their Messiah.6However, when they opposed and insulted him, Paul shook his cloak before them in protest and said: "Your blood be on your own hands. I have discharged my responsibility by telling you the truth. Now I will go to the Gentiles."7When he left the synagogue, Paul went next door to the house of a true worshipper, Titius Justus.8The synagogue ruler, Crispus, and his whole household believed in the Lord, and many Corinthians became believers and were baptised as a result of his testimony.9One night the Lord gave Paul a vision in which He said: "Don't be afraid. Keep speaking boldly and do not be silent.10For I am with you, to protect you from attack or injury, for I have many loyal people in this city."11So Paul remained there for eighteen months teaching God's Word.

Psalm 33:18-22

18But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,19to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. 20We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.21In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.22May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.
