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 22 – Love One Another

Focus: Love is the defining mark of Jesus’disciples.
Prayer: "Lord, let Your patience and kindness overflow in me, especially toward those who are difficult to love."

John 13:31-35

Jesus commands His disciples to love one another31When he had left, Jesus could now speak in a different way to the other disciples. "The time has now come for the Son of Man to be glorified and for God to be glorified in Him.32If God is glorified in His Son, then He will in turn glorify the Son and will do so immediately.33"My children, I am going to be with you for only a little while longer. You will search for Me, and as I told the Jewish leaders, so now I tell you: where I am about to go, you cannot come.34"I am giving you a new command: love each other. In the same way that I have loved each of you, so you must love each other.35When you do this everyone will see that you are truly My disciples; they will know this because of your love for each other.

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.
