The Gospels Women's Reading Guide Bundle

Matthew
The Gospel of Matthew tells the story of Jesus, the long-awaited Messiah who ushered in the kingdom of God. His life, ministry, death, and resurrection have transformed lives—from the first century to the twenty-first.

Get to know Jesus Christ through the eyes of one of His earliest followers in this four-week study, whether reading this Gospel for the first time or returning to read it with fresh eyes. Join the journey from Jesus’s birth in Bethlehem to His ministry to multitudes to His crucifixion on the cross. Along the way, discover how Jesus taught and modeled what life in the kingdom looks like. Finally, arrive at Resurrection Sunday rejoicing over the good news of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.

In this three-week reading plan, we will anchor ourselves in what Scripture records about the reality of who God is and what He has done. Not just so we would know, but so that we would let what we know guide how we respond to and walk with Him. Join us as we read about and practice biblical remembrance.

Mark
Of the four Gospels, Mark presents the most down-to-earth portrait of Jesus’s life. The fast-paced narrative emphasizes both His humanity and His divinity, showing our Savior as both the Son of Man and the divine Son of God.

Over three weeks, we’ll follow Jesus from His baptism in the Jordan River to His cross at Calvary. Along the way, we’ll marvel at His compassion, power, and authority as He performs miracles and transforms the lives of the men and women He encounters. Finally, we’ll arrive at Resurrection Sunday with a deeper understanding of Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice that secures our salvation.

Luke
“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.” This is the message of the Gospel of Luke, a detailed account of the life and ministry of Jesus, from His birth in Bethlehem to His ascension into heaven.

As we read through this five-week plan, pay close attention to Jesus seeking out the marginalized and engaging the religious leaders of the day. Watch Him minister in the power of the Holy Spirit, praying at key points in the narrative. Listen as He teaches parables about the kingdom of God, confounding the conceited and bringing hope to the humble. Experience afresh the wonder and joy of the in-breaking of God’s kingdom through Jesus, friend of sinners and Savior of the world.

John
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Of all the New Testament books, the Gospel of John most clearly teaches the divinity of Christ. John emphasizes Jesus’s identity as the Son of God and His invitation for us to respond in faith.

In this five-week study, we’ll read how John explores Jesus’s relationship with God the Father. We’ll see how John’s Gospel points to Jesus’s fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, festivals, and institutions, presents Jesus as the new center of worship for God’s people, and details Jesus’s interactions with those who doubted and believed in His identity.

Join us as we respond to Jesus’s invitation to “come and see” that He truly is the Son of God!
