CONNECT 20

    Thursday

    INTRO

    We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.


    Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.


    As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.


    Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.

    SCRIPTURE

    And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common.

    - Acts 2:42-44

    DEVOTIONAL

    Spiritual growth rarely happens in isolation. Research shows that believers who feel they're growing in their faith typically have three types of relationships in their lives. First, personal mentorships—relationships with more mature believers who can offer wisdom, accountability, and guidance. These mentors help us navigate challenges and see blind spots we might miss on our own. Second, small groups provide a sense of belonging and regular connection with fellow believers. In these settings, we study Scripture together, share our lives, and pray for one another. The intimacy of a small group allows for deeper conversations than might happen in larger gatherings. Third, households where faith is valued and discussed create daily opportunities for spiritual formation. Whether this is your family of origin, roommates, or close friends who feel like family, these relationships shape our everyday practices and priorities. The data is striking: those with all three relationship types are nearly twice as likely to feel they're being discipled compared to those with none. Each relationship offers something unique and valuable to our spiritual journey.

    PRAY

    Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.

    SHARE

    After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:

    *Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!


    Memory Verse

    But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

    - James 1:22

    Bible Reading Plan

    Bible in 3 Years

    Most believers have a goal to read the entire Bible, but the goal can seem daunting at first. In this plan, you can read the entire Bible over a 3-year period as you commit to just one or two chapters a day. This plan is located within the YouVersion Bible App, and you can begin at any time.
