A YEAR IN THE WORD
-2022-
"How happy are the ones who do not follow the advice of the wicked or take the path of sinners or join a group of mockers! Instead, their delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and they meditate on it day and night. They are like trees planted beside streams of water that bear fruit in season and whose leaves does not wither. Whatever they do prospers."
-Psalm 1:1-3
and they meditate on it day and night. They are like trees planted beside streams of water that bear fruit in season and whose leaves does not wither. Whatever they do prospers."
-Psalm 1:1-3
We would love to invite you to join us in pursuit of a yearlong emphasis on growing deeper in our relationship with Jesus Christ. One of the best avenues for deepening any relationship is spending time together, and if we want to know Christ more, then one of the best ways we can deepen that relationship is to spend time reading God's Word.
This year, we are committing to reading God's Word together as a Family of Faith by participating in a yearlong challenge to read the Bible through. Whether you have read it through before or whether this is your first time, it is always easier and more meaningful to share the experience with others.
Beginning January 2nd, 2022 we will be following a weekly 5-Day Bible Reading plan that features Chronological Old & New Testament Readings, as well as readings from the Psalms.
A CHRONOLOGICAL READING:
By observing a chronological format, the Bible readings will be grouped in historical order as they happened based upon conservative estimates of historical Biblical timelines. This is most noticeable with Old Testament readings while specific readings, such as Wisdom Literature/Psalms/Etc., will be grouped in order of content and context. Regardless of the grouping we will be reading the Bible, in its entirety, word for word. Far from an exercise in legalism, our prayer is that this will be a discipline of joy and that by participating together we will see God begin to move with power within our congregation as we treasure His Word as a Family of Faith.
