Spending time in God's word at least 4 days a week can have a major impact in our spiritual lives. It impacts our loneliness, the way we interact with people around us, our ability to overcome temptation, and our willingness to share our faith.

Each week we will upload 4 devotionals based on the sermon from that week. Our goal is to have everyone connected to GFC digging into God's word at least 4 days per week to see how God will grow each of us as we grow closer to him. You can also access these devotionals on the Bible App using the QR code in the graphic below!

Weekly GFC Devotionals

Week of May 3rd 2026

Day 1 

1 Corinthians 1:10–13 (NLT)

Big idea:

Paul appeals to the church to live in harmony, yet he quickly exposes the divisions among them. People are aligning themselves with different leaders, forming identity around personalities rather than Christ. Paul’s response is direct: “Has Christ been divided?” Their divisions reveal a deeper issue—not just disagreement, but misplaced allegiance. When our identity becomes tied to preferences, leaders, or secondary issues, unity begins to fracture. The gospel calls us back to a shared center—Jesus Himself. True unity is not built on sameness of opinion, but on shared surrender to Christ.

Reflection questions:

• Are there ways I define myself by preferences or leaders more than by Christ?
• Where might I be contributing to division through attitudes, assumptions, or words?
• What would it look like for me to actively pursue unity centered on Jesus?

Prayer: Jesus, thank you for the body of believers I belong to. Help me to keep the most important things at the center of my faith and not allow my preferences to shape my beliefs. Help me to bring unity and not division to our church. Amen. *Pray for your One*

Day 2 

John 17:20–24 (NLT)

Big idea:

In one of His final prayers, Jesus prays not only for His disciples but for all who would believe through them—including us. His request is striking: that His followers would be one, just as He and the Father are one. This unity is not superficial; it is rooted in shared relationship with God and grounded in truth. Jesus connects this unity to the mission of the church—that the world would see and believe. Our unity is not just for our benefit; it is a witness. When believers live in genuine love and unity, they reflect the heart of Christ to a watching world.

Reflection questions:

• How seriously do I take Jesus’ desire for unity among His followers?
• Are there relationships where I have chosen distance instead of pursuing unity?
• How might my attitudes toward other believers impact my witness to others?

Prayer: Jesus, thank you for praying for me! Please help your words to impact my heart and that I would pursue one-ness with other believers. Help my relationship with other believers to point more people to you. Amen. *Pray for your ONE*

Day 3 

Romans 10:9–13

Big idea:

Paul makes the message of salvation beautifully clear: if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. “Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” The gospel levels the ground. No one earns their place; all receive it by grace through faith. This shared need and shared salvation become the foundation for unity. When we remember that we all stand before God the same way—dependent on grace—it becomes harder to elevate ourselves above others.

Reflection questions:

• Do I truly see my salvation as a gift of grace, or do I subtly take credit for it?
• Are there people I struggle to believe God would welcome as freely as He welcomed me?
• How does remembering the simplicity and accessibility of the gospel shape how I view others?

Prayer: Jesus, thank you that my salvation is nothing I could earn. Please help me to see the grace you have for me and help me extend that grace to those around me. Amen. *Pray for your One*

Day 4 

Ephesians 4:1–5, 15–16

Big idea:

Paul urges believers to “live a life worthy of your calling,” describing a community marked by humility, gentleness, patience, and love. Unity is not automatic—it must be protected and cultivated. At the same time, Paul calls the church to “speak the truth in love,” reminding us that unity does not mean avoiding truth, but holding it rightly. As each person plays their part, the body grows and is built up in love. This is a vision of the church that is both honest and deeply connected—where truth and love work together to produce maturity.

Reflection questions:

• Which of the qualities Paul lists (humility, patience, gentleness) do I most need to grow in?
• Do I tend to prioritize truth without love, or love without truth?
• How am I contributing—positively or negatively—to the unity and growth of my church?

Prayer: Jesus, please help me to live a life worthy of your calling. Show me the areas I need to grow in the most. Help me to contribute positively to the unity and growth of our church family. Amen. *Pray for your One*
