Reading the Bible Together

We are excited to be making the “Reading the Bible Together” program available on our website! This is a way for people or fellowships to read through the Bible in manageable monthly portions over a three-year period. Because all those taking part are reading the same passages simultaneously, they are able to talk together about what the Lord is saying to them through His Word. Some groups may also take the opportunity to meet monthly to discuss what they have discovered from the Bible that month!

The monthly schedule for readings is presented below, together with some questions that can be asked while reading each passage.  From our recent class in Biblical Theology, we know that all the Scriptures point to Jesus in one way or another, so this is a really important focus to have as we read the Bible. Above all, God has promised to use His Word to accomplish His purposes in His children, and that is why we can be excited and expectant as we begin to Read the Bible Together!
