5-day Bible reading plan and devotional guide based on the Sunday Message from July 27, 2025:

Day 1: Adopted into God's Family
Reading: Ephesians 1:3-6
God's love for us is so profound that He chose to adopt us as His own children. This adoption isn't based on our merits or achievements, but solely on His love and grace. Reflect on what it means to be a child of God. How does this identity change your perspective on life's challenges? Consider how you can live today as a beloved son or daughter of the King, embracing the security and love that comes with this divine adoption.

Day 2: The Vastness of God's Love
Reading: Ephesians 3:14-19
Paul prays that we may grasp how wide, long, high, and deep Christ's love is for us. This love surpasses human understanding, yet it's something we're invited to experience personally. Take time to meditate on God's love for you. In what areas of your life do you need to more fully embrace this love? Ask God to reveal His love to you in new ways today, and be open to experiencing it in unexpected moments or through unlikely people.

Day 3: Unity in Christ
Reading: Ephesians 2:11-22
God's ultimate plan is to bring all things together under Christ. In a world marked by division, we're called to be agents of unity. Reflect on the barriers that separate people in your community or church. How can you actively work to break down these walls? Consider reaching out to someone from a different background or perspective today, seeking to understand and love them as Christ does.

Day 4: Empowered by the Holy Spirit
Reading: Ephesians 1:13-14, 3:16-17
As believers, we're sealed with the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live out our faith. This same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work within us. How aware are you of the Spirit's presence in your daily life? Take some time to invite the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts and actions today. Ask for His strength in areas where you feel weak or inadequate, trusting that His power is made perfect in our weakness.

Day 5: Living as Children of Light
Reading: Ephesians 5:8-14
Having been brought from darkness into light, we're called to live as children of light. This involves discerning what pleases the Lord and exposing the fruitless deeds of darkness. Examine your life – are there areas where you're still clinging to darkness? Ask God to illuminate any hidden sins or attitudes that don't reflect His light. Commit to taking one specific action today that will allow you to shine Christ's light more brightly in your sphere of influence.
