Year of the Message

Our Year of the Message Bible reading plan starts with the New Testament on Monday, September 1. The reading guide, the sermon series, and the Year of the Message notebook are all available at the Welcome Center in the church foyer.

I hope that you will get a notebook, take notes on the messages, and keep up with the readings through the New Testament this fall. The preaching is divided into five simple outlines that will help you get acquainted with the diversity and richness of the New Testament.

Experiencing corporate worship weekly is of utmost importance. That is why the Ten Commandments include requirements concerning the day of worship. But corporate worship should be complemented with family worship and private worship that happens daily. Every follower of Jesus should be praying and reading the scriptures as a matter of spiritual discipline.

Joining us in the reading of the New Testament will help you prepare for Sunday worship. It will help you get into God's word daily. It will improve your prayer life. And it will enhance your understanding of what Christ has done for you and how you are to respond to his grace.

There's just no downside that I can think to reading through the New Testament this fall. Go by the Welcome Center and pick up your reading guide this Sunday.
