Online reading programs for individuals
The Lord’s Word helps us most when we read it every day. When we read it daily, we will find that we more easily understand what it says. Reading the Word is more a matter of the heart than the head. By showing up at the pages every day we open our heart to the Lord.
These classes are for those who want to explore God's Word and explore what it means to live according to its teachings.

Each email in this program features a Bible passage from the Easter story, followed by related readings from New Church theology. Closing every email is a short reflection for you to meditate on during the day.

For two thousand years the Easter story has shown us Jesus’ great love for all people. Throughout the Lord’s ministry, He emphasized His purpose of bringing all people who are willing to follow Him into heaven with Himself. His boundless, compassionate love is especially clear in the Gospel of John, from which we take our Easter Readings this year.
The Lord said, “If I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself.” (John 12:32) Now that Jesus Christ has risen, we can truly understand His love for humanity, and we can see Him as God, or “Divine love in human form.” (Secrets of Heaven 4735)
We pray that this year’s theme, “The Lord’s Love for All People” will give you a clearer sense of the Lord’s presence in your life.
Sign up to receive daily passages from the Easter story to your email starting March 23rd.
