Getting to Grips with God’s Word
Reading through the Bible in a Year
During 2010, why not join us in taking the opportunity to read through the whole of the Bible in one year following the monthly pattern which will be produced via the website? Starting inJanuary, we’ve been reading in Genesis of God’s creation, the Flood, Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob, his wives, sons - and the amazing story of Joseph! And that’s just getting started with the Old Testament - the New Testament journey began with the excursion into the Acts of the Apostles and the amazing story of the formation of the Church, and the spread of the gospel - the good news of Jesus Christ - throughout the ancient world. We're now coming towards the end of our year-long journey of reading the Bible throughout 2010.
Some helpful prayers as we set aside time each day to study and reflect on God’s word:
Create within us, O God, a longing to obey your commandments and a thankfulness for all your mercies.
Let us honour you in the thoughts of our hearts, let us glorify you in the words we speak, and let us magnify you in the things that we do;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
John Wesley (1703-1791)
O God, our true life, to know you is life, to serve you is perfect freedom, to enjoy you is a kingdom, to praise you is the joy and happiness of the soul. I praise and bless and adore you, I worship you, I glorify you. I give thanks to you for your great glory. I humbly beg you to live with me, to reign in me, to make this heart of mine a holy temple, a fit habitation for your divine majesty.
St Augustine 354 -430
