2008 Bible Reading Guide
IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE A BIBLE READING PLAN or else you are liable to skip some portions. Those who follow the plan we are pursuing as a congregation will read the whole Bible in a few years. Reading together as a congregation also has great benefit since as we are reading the same things each week, we can discuss what we’ve read and encourage each other in the reading of Scripture.
We read from both the Old and New Testaments each week. This year we are reading all the Old Testament Poetry books (Job through the Song of Solomon), and all of the Minor Prophets (Hosea through Malachi.). In the New Testament we will read all four gospels.
In addition we will read whatever chapter of the New Testament that Pastor Hale will be preaching on the coming Sunday. That information will be printed in the weekly bulletin distributed at church each Sunday. For those who want to get even more from the preaching, we suggest reading the entire New Testament book Pastor Hale is preaching from once each week by dividing the number of chapters in the book by five, and reading that many chapters each day. The shorter books can even be read more than once each week.
The pace is not terribly strenuous—only between 7 and 10 chapters each day. Reading only the 5 weekdays, we will average only a couple chapters each day. YOU CAN DO THIS!
Read, enjoy, encourage each other, and “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
