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 what it means to live a consecrated life that is set apart for God—marked by holiness, surrender, obedience, worship and love. You'll find questions and things to reflect on as you read the verses below. 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 ONE: A Living Sacrifice
The Cost of Discipleship

Focus: Denying self and following Christ fully.
Reflection: What might I need to leave behind to follow Jesus more faithfully?

Luke 9:23-26

Followers of Christ must take up their cross23Jesus then told them all: "If any of you wants to be My follower, he will have to deny doing with his life what he wants. He will have to take up his cross of sacrifice every day in order to follow Me.24For whoever wants to live his life for himself will lose everything: but whoever is prepared to sacrifice his life for Me will find true salvation.25"How would it benefit a person if he were to gain everything he wants in the world, but he lost or forfeited his own soul in the process?26"Anyone who is ashamed of Me and of what I teach will find that I, the Son of Man, will be ashamed of him when I return in My Father's glory together with the holy angels.

Luke 9:57-62

The cost of following Jesus57On the way, a man approached Jesus and said: "I am ready to follow You wherever You go."58Jesus said to him: "Foxes live in holes and birds have their nests; but the Son of Man has no permanent dwelling place."59To another man Jesus said: "Follow Me." But the man answered: "Lord, I must first go and bury my father."60Jesus told him: "Leave the dead to bury those who are dead. But you are to go and preach about God's Kingdom."61Yet another man said: "I want to follow You, Lord; but allow me first to go and say farewell to my family."62Jesus said: "Once a person has begun to plough, he must not look back. Such a one is not fit for service in God's Kingdom."
