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 going on a journey into God's vision for His Church—our identity, calling, authority, love, unity, and mission. Each day you'll find the passage in full on our website alongside something to help you focus and pray so that you can apply the Word to your life. 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.

Week 4 – Love, Unity, Sacrifice & Community
Day 28 – Sharing Life Together

Focus: With one heart and mind believers share their lives and possessions.
Prayer: "Father, give me an open heart and generous hands to share life with Your body."

Acts 4:32-37

Unity among the believers32There was great unity among the believers. They were one in what they believed and in the ways they thought and acted. No-one thought of his possessions as belonging to himself, but they shared everything they had with others.33-35The apostles continued to witness to the resurrection of Jesus, speaking and acting with great power. So great was God's grace on the whole body of believers that nobody among them was left in need. Some who owned land or houses sold them and brought the proceeds from the sales to the apostles, and they ensured that it was distributed to those in need.36Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus called by the apostles Barnabas, meaning son of encouragement, was one such. He sold a field he owned and brought the money to the apostles.

Father, thank You for making me a member of the Body of Christ. Help me to love Your Church as You love her. Teach me to serve with humility, walk in the authority of Jesus, be led by the Holy Spirit, and lay down my life for my brothers and sisters. Build us together into a dwelling place for Your presence and make us a powerful witness of Your Kingdom until Christ returns. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
