Through the Bible in 2018!!

-

Jesus answered, "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God".

 ~ Matthew 4:4
Have you read through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation?  Why not make 2018 the year to read the entire Bible, or take your family through the Bible?

 There are several reasons why we should read the Bible DAILY:

  • as Jesus himself says (verse above) the WORD of GOD is bread to our soul 
  • we are told to desire the WORD to grow by it (1 Peter 2:2) 
  • we should meditate on GOD's WORD day and night (Psalm 1:2) 
  • the WORD corrects, instructs, and equips us (2 Timothy 3:16-17) 

Of course this takes commitment and discipline.  Accountability can be a great helper, so consider agreeing with other families to read through the Bible together.  This will also lead to some wonderful studies and discussions, since you will be covering the same topics at the same time!

 Here is a great, and very practical, article:  10 Tips for Reading the Bible

 Here is a 6 day/week reading plan for 51 weeks:  Read 2018
May GOD bless you, as you seek to know HIM through HIS revealed WORD!

Pastor Appreciation Sunday

This passed Sunday was pastor appreciation Sunday. The former Pastor shared some scripture and had a gift to present to Pastor Dave. We are so thankful for a Pastor who teaches the bible.  To quote a lady who has been at our church but recently moved out of Ontario " Pastor Dave teaches the word of our Lord. Nothing added, nothing taken away. Every Sunday, he reads AND explains each chapter and verse from the Holy Bible.  A little church, bursting at the doors with the spirit of Yahweh.  Matthew 18:20.  "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them."  A congregation that is truly a loving and supportive family.  Ephesians 2:19; 3:14-15 “As such, we gather to fellowship with one another, encourage one another, and help each other. We need each other's support.”'
