Join us as we take on the challenge of reading the ENTIRE bible in ONE year starting September 1st!
Wait. You’re asking me to do what?! Yep - read the whole Bible in a year. You won’t be alone. The entire congregation will be journeying together as we make our way from Genesis to Revelation. Don’t think you can sit down and read the Bible from cover to cover?
Think about it in terms of smaller, daily goals. Instead of being overwhelmed at the thought of the entire Bible, break it down in your mind to a commitment to read a short selection from the Bible one day at a time. You can do that – especially since The Bible Year has it all mapped out for you day by day.
The daily readings are mapped out for us in "The Bible Year" by Magrey DeVega. Each day guides us to a short selection from the Bible plus a small concise devotional every day. We strongly encourage each family unit to have at least one copy of this book to guide you through the year.
On September 4th, David, Erin and Wendy will begin preaching on select passages from the weekly reading in a sermon series called "The Bible Year."
For the next year, we will be immersed in the stories of triumph and defeat; murder and deception. We will navigate through family drama, models of friendship and so much more! Some of the scripture texts will stretch David, Erin and Wendy in new and exciting ways from the pulpit. You will also have access to podcasts of some great theological minds as they examine and explore the Bible. These will be shared each Wednesday. We even hope small groups and Sunday school classes will take on the challenge of walking through the small group bible study together! This year is not just about Sunday morning. It’s about committing to something new and different. Conversation and study. Together. So that we can be transformed by the renewing of our mind.
We aren’t the first church to take on this challenge, and we won’t be the last. It turns out that a year of immersion in the stories of the Bible helps us to see our stories in a new light—there is provision, there is purpose, there is hope. This is how we make disciples for the transformation of the world.
This is how we can be revived and renewed.
