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.

Mark 4:35-41

Calming of the storm35On the evening of that same day, Jesus told His disciples that they would cross to the other side of the lake.36So leaving the crowd, they took Jesus with them in one of the boats.37A sudden storm arose and the waves began to break over the side of the boat, causing it almost to sink.38Jesus was sleeping on a cushion in the stern, but in panic the disciples woke Him: "We are drowning, Teacher; don't You care?"39Jesus stood up and commanded the wind and waves: "Quiet! Be still!" Immediately the wind died down and the sea was completely calm.40Why are you afraid? He asked the disciples. "Is your faith still so weak?"41They were in such awe that all they could do was question among themselves: "Who can this be? He commands even the wind and the waves and they obey Him!"

Matthew 8:5-13

The Centurion understands authority5When Jesus had arrived at Capernaum, a Roman centurion approached Him seeking help.6He said to Jesus: "Lord, my servant lies paralysed at my home and is suffering terribly."7"I will go and heal him," Jesus offered.8But the centurion replied: "Lord I am not worthy enough to have You in my house. You only have to issue the command and my servant will be healed.9As a soldier I am myself under authority, with soldiers under my authority. If I say to one, 'Go,' he goes, or to another, 'Come,' he comes; I only have to say, 'Do this,' to my servant and he does it."10Jesus was astonished at what the centurion said and told those who were following Him: "I tell you the truth, nowhere among all the people of Israel have I found anyone with such faith as this Roman soldier.11I tell you clearly that many will come from the east and west and will be welcome to take their places at the feast alongside Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of heaven.12Yet those who you would think would automatically be considered as belonging to that Kingdom will be excluded and thrown into outer darkness, where there will be deep mourning and cries of despair."13Turning to the centurion, Jesus said: "Go! The healing will take place in precisely the way you believed it would happen." The soldier's servant was healed at exactly the time Jesus said this!
