Grow In Faith
Why is this important?
For most people, the Bible is not the first resource we turn to when facing issues or challenges in our lives. Lots of people view it as an ancient book documenting the history of a religious people thousands of years ago. As followers of Jesus Christ, we know that the Bible is much more than a history book; it's the story of God's relationship with all humankind.
As we seek to grow in faith, share Christ, and serve others, reading the Bible is invaluable. The Bible is a guidebook for navigating our lives as well. We desire to put God first in our lives, find our place in God's story, and claim the truth about who we are as God's people.
Bible Reading Plan
January Reading Plan
Joshua & the Promise Land
Finding our plan and purpose in life can be challenging. From Joshua’s life we learn that if we want anything substantial to change for the better in our lives we must trust in God’s promises, create a plan for following God’s lead, and clearly understand our life’s purpose, or we may not be ready or willing to receive God’s blessings when God bestows them on us.
Join us from January 5 to February 1 as we explore Joshua’s life and God’s promises, plans, and purpose for each of us.
Advent Reading Plan
On the Way to Bethlehem
The weeks before Christmas can feel chaotic, but Advent invites reflection and anticipation for the birth of Jesus Christ. This season, we journey through key locations in His story, gaining insights along the way. Pack your bags; let the adventure begin!
Join us from December 1 to January 4 as we explore the historical significance of Rome, Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem and the characters who bring the Christmas story to life.
October-November
Reading Plan
Love One Another
What would it look like to "love each other as Jesus has loved us?” In a divided and sometimes unkind world, how is it possible to carry out the teachings of Jesus about offering unconditional love to those around us?
Join us for our "Love One Another" series, running from October 6 to November 30. Each week, we will explore at least one of the 59 "one anothers" found in the New Testament. Discover the meaning of embodying Gospel values in all relationships and learn how to apply some of the most significant "one another" scriptures as we seek to love one another as Christ loves us.
