5-Day Devo (Based on 5.4.25 Sermon)

Here's a 5-day Bible reading plan and devotional guide based on the May 4, 2025 Sermon.

Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17, Ephesians 4:1-6

Devotional: The Lord's Supper is a powerful symbol of our unity in Christ. As we partake of one bread, we affirm our connection to one another as members of Christ's body. Today, reflect on how you contribute to the unity of your local church. Are there divisions or conflicts you need to address? Ask God to help you see fellow believers through His eyes of love and grace. Consider reaching out to someone you've been distant from, seeking reconciliation and renewed fellowship.

Reading: Luke 22:14-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

Devotional: Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper as a way for us to remember His sacrifice. In our busy lives, it's easy to lose focus on the core of our faith. Take time today to meditate on Christ's body broken and blood shed for you. How does this profound act of love impact your daily life? Write down specific ways you can live in gratitude for His sacrifice. Ask the Holy Spirit to keep the cross central in your thoughts and actions throughout the day.

Reading: Romans 1:16-17, 1 Corinthians 15:1-8

Devotional: The Lord's Supper is a visible proclamation of the Gospel. As believers, we're called to share this good news with the world. Reflect on your own journey to faith. How has the Gospel transformed your life? Pray for opportunities to share your testimony with others. Consider writing out a brief version of your faith story, focusing on how Jesus has changed you. Ask God for boldness and wisdom in proclaiming His love to those around you.

Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 19:6-9

Devotional: Each time we take communion, we're reminded that it's a temporary ordinance "until He comes." This points us to the hope of Christ's return. In what ways does this future hope impact your present reality? Reflect on areas of your life where you need renewed hope. Pray for God to strengthen your faith as you await His return. Consider how you can live today in light of eternity, making choices that reflect your heavenly citizenship.

Reading: Psalm 139:23-24, Hebrews 12:5-11

Devotional: The Lord's Supper provides an opportunity for spiritual self-examination. God's discipline in our lives, while sometimes painful, is an expression of His love. Take time today for honest self-reflection. Are there areas of sin or compromise you've been ignoring? Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any hidden faults. Confess these to God, receiving His forgiveness and cleansing. Thank Him for His loving discipline that shapes you to be more like Christ. Commit to regular times of self-examination, not just during communion, but as a daily practice.
