Psalm 119:174
I long for Your salvation, O LORD, And Your law is my delight.
Our congregation is participating in a corporate Bible reading plan that began January 1. I have not heard much feedback as of yet from the congregation, but I know our family has already been so blessed as we read the assigned text with not only a view to grow personally, but also with a view to communicate with others in the church who have been reading the same texts.
Our approach is that our Bible reading has been broken down into “sections” (of various lengths. It is being done this way so that in the event that someone falls behind, rather then giving up on Bible reading, he might simply rejoin at the start of a new section.
I have also encouraged the congregation to read aloud or even listen to the Word of God. Romans 10:17 says,
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
There is something to be said for actually hearing the Word. Even the apostle Paul reminded Timothy,
1 Timothy 4:13
Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching.
The implication here is that many were listening to the Word being read. So, whatever your reading plan is, try to include some Bible listening as well. If you are interested in the Bible reading plan of Hope Community Bible Church, then click on the links I have provided. The first link is to the page that has all the sections, including the master reading plan. The second link is our current section. The final link is to the master reading plan. Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18).
