The One Who Walks Among Us
This is “Revelation Week” at our church. We are finishing up our summer reading, “Eat This Book,” and we finish with THE END… or is it THE BEGINNING? It is the revelation of Jesus Christ, not a revelation of “the end of the world as we know it.” This is a letter of love from the Savior to his Church. The…

A New Series for Group Bible Studies
As our church has been reading through the New Testament this summer, the format for the reading schedule has come from Biblica’s project The Books of the Bible. I have commented before on how this edition is made more for public reading and getting the reader into the full book of the Bible. IVP has now come out with a set of group…

The Core of Why We Must “Eat This Book”
Our reading for this Sunday is Philippians, 1-2 Timothy, and Titus. As I read through 2 Timothy 3:10-4:5, I am once again convicted by these words. These verses are probably core to why the Spirit has led us on this journey as a church to read the entire New Testament this summer. 2 Tim. 3:16-17 is central. We need the power…

IN Christ
I think of an old hymn when I read through Ephesians 1. My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name. On Christ the solid Rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand; All other ground is sinking sand. Go through Ephesians 1…

The “sermon” time was our church this morning was by… everyone. Our goal each week is to read through assigned New Testament books. This week was Acts and 1-2 Thessalonians. To start the…

Journal the Journey
Tip for our journey through the New Testament: have a pencil and notebook handy. Or, have your digital notebook ready. Always be ready to jot down thoughts. Ask questions. Write them down. You can always come back to those notes. Jot down your thoughts for the journey!

Reading Acts
In our journey through the New Testament, this next week is to be spent reading the Book of Acts. Some thoughts as you move through the Book of Acts: 1. What emphasis does Luke put on the Holy Spirit and prayer? 2. What would you find to be a key theme or themes in the Book? 3. What patterns do…

The Digital Divide
I blog. I have Facebook. I just got on Twitter. I have a Nook reader. And I’m still not completely on board with digital Bibles and studying. For me, it’s still uneven. I have Logos Bible software, but really need some basic training to get that up and going. I have OliveTree reader for my Nook. The upside for Logos…

Reading in Community
Our church is gearing up to read the New Testament together. We are beginning with Luke. The challenge for us will be to read in community. It’s not just reading alone and then hearing a sermon. We want to set up opportunities to learn from each other. We can structure our Sunday morning service to reflect more on this model.…
