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 focusing on verses about building and growing in faith. 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.

Faith

  • We come into a living and vital relationship with God through faith in all that Jesus Christ has done in His cross and resurrection.
  • Trust in God without which it is impossible to please Him.
  • Jesus exercised faith during His ministry and taught His disciples to live by faith.
  • Faith is an on-going, personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
  • Faith is believing God’s Word and therefore putting it into practice, and trusting the Holy Spirit to be our enabler in every situation.
  • Many rewards come through such a faith.

Hebrews 12:1-3

Fix your eyes on Jesus1All these heroes of faith are like a great crowd of witnesses that surround us and encourage us to keep faith with God. So let us shrug off everything that comes against us and refuse every temptation to sin, with which the devil wants to entangle us. Let us persevere in running the race in which God has entered us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus who is always ahead of us. Without Him we could not have faith, nor could we grow in faith. He gave us faith and He will perfect our faith.2Look at the way He ran the race. He always aimed for the eternal joy that lay ahead of Him, even though along the way He had to suffer to the point of death on the cross, regardless of the shame that was attached to such a death. He finished the race and is now seated in heaven at God's right hand.3Yes, think of Him who put up with continual opposition from sinful people. Then you will not grow tired of the opposition you have to face and become discouraged.

John 15:1-11

The Vine and the branches1"I, I AM the true Vine and My Father tends this Vine.2He cuts out every branch in Me that does not produce fruit. Even the fruitful branches He carefully prunes so that in future they will bear even more fruit.3"You have already been pruned through the words I have spoken to you.4Stay living in Me and I will continue to live in you. It is impossible for any branch to be fruitful if it is separated from the Vine. It has to continue to live in the Vine. In the same way, it would be impossible for you to bear fruit if you were not to remain living in Me.5"I AM the Vine and you are the branches in the Vine. Anyone who continues to live in Me and I in him will be abundantly fruitful. But outside of Me you can do absolutely nothing.6For anyone who does not continue to live at one with Me is like a branch that is thrown away and so withers. All such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.Remain in His love7"By contrast, if you continue to live at one with Me and My words continue to live in you, you can ask for anything you want and it will be given you.8My Father will be glorified and honoured in your lives because you will bear much fruit and so demonstrate that you are truly My disciples.9"I have loved you in exactly the same way that My Father loves Me. So continue to live in My love.10You will remain in My love if you obey what I have commanded you, in the same way that I have remained in My Father's love by obeying what He commanded Me.11"I have told you this because I want you to have within you the same joy that is in Me. I want you to be absolutely full of My joy.
