OCTOBER ESLR: This month’s ESLR is “Godly Leaders”. Godly Leaders are students who mirror Christ’s character and behavior in diverse environments and who consider the interest of others above their own. (Philippians 2:3) “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.”
DAILY PORTION: Calvary Chapel Downey invites you to join us as we follow the Daily Portion Bible Reading Plan. When we read our bibles most days of the week, even for a short period of time, we open ourselves up to the opportunity of the Scripture’s transformative power in many areas of our lives.
This week’s Daily Portion:
10/5/25: Isaiah 25-26……Acts 13-14
10/6/25: Isaiah 27-28……Acts 15-16
10/7/25: Isaiah 29-30……Acts 17-18
10/8/25: Isaiah 31-32……Acts 19-20
