Grounded and Growing Vertically 2025

Join the challenge in 2025 to take God at his word!

“For this reason I fall on my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth receives its true name.

I ask God from the wealth of his glory to give you power through his Spirit to be strong in your inner selves, and I pray that Christ will make his home in your hearts through faith.

I pray that you may have your roots and foundation in love, so that you, together with all God's people, may have the power to understand how broad and long, how high and deep, is Christ's love.

Yes, may you come to know his love—although it can never be fully known—and so be completely filled with the very nature of God.

Ephesians 3:14-19.

The chronological reading of the Bible (the links are in our prayer calendar) lends itself to reading through the Conflict of the Ages Series by Ellen G. White. You can add these books in along with the Bible readings according to this schedule: (They are linked so you can read or listen)
