Bible Reflections
In 2018, we began a program of Bible reading which took us through every chapter in the Bible. For most, it was a challenge to read multiple chapters a day. There wasn’t always time to consider everything that you might have been reading.
Our Bible reading challenge was like taking a flight over the United States. You get to see a lot but not really up close. It was as it were an overview of the Bible. There were times when you may have been bogged down reading what felt like the 10.000 verse in the Levitical law. I hope you persevered and can now celebrate completing the challenge of reading the Bible in a year.
Now, we are going to start something new and may be easier for some. I’m calling it Bible Reflections.
Bible Reflections is a Bible reading program and more. The Bible reading will cover a chapter a day for 6 days a week for 50 weeks of the year. Yes, it will take longer than a year to complete the whole Bible but if your faithful when we are done you will have read and studied the entire Bible. Instead of flying over the Bible, we will be taking a road trip so we can see the sights
Expanding on the blog I am completing for this year, there will be my own reflections on every chapter or at least some aspect of that chapter. For those of you who enjoy journaling, there will be a book where you can track your reading, read my notes, and add your own. If you just want to read there is a devotional with the Bible reference and my notes. The later can be found in a book or various places online (via Facebook, BibleReflectionsTCN.blogspot.com or on the Nazarene Connect App with the Tell City Nazarene link). The chapters we will be reading each week will also be in the bulletin. You can use these tools or just use the yellow legal pad method that Brother Reid suggested.
Once we complete this road trip, you will have made notes on every chapter in the Bible which will be a good reference material or something that your kids or grandkids may study in the future.
If you would like a print copy, they will be $4 each for printing and shipping. There will be a signup sheet in the foyer of the church. If you want a copy later the cost will be higher about $7.50 (due to shipping). If you decide not to study the Bible this way, feel free to use what works best for you.
One of the previous week’s chapters will be the scripture for Sunday evening’s message. Before Bible Study, on Wednesday there will be time to discuss what, we have read the previous week. Sunday mornings’ messages will be one of the topical messages you have recommended.
