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 24 – The Greatest Love

Focus: Jesus laid down His life—His Church is called to do the same.
Prayer: "Jesus, help me to love sacrificially as You have loved me."

John 15:9-17

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.Friends of Jesus12"The command I give you to obey is simply this: love one another in the same way that I have loved you.13No greater love than this exists, and it is expressed in your willingness to lay down your life for your friends.14If you obey what I command you, then you will be My friends.15I no longer refer to you only as servants, because it is not a servant's place to know about his master's business. No, I have called you My friends because I have relayed to you whatever the Father has revealed to Me.16"You did not choose Me. No, it was I who chose you. But I not only choose you to belong to Me; I also commission you to go and bear fruit that will be of eternal significance. As you go to do that, the Father will give you whatever you ask in My name, those things that you know to be consistent with My will.17"So this is My command: love 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.
