Bible Reading Plan for 2011

We are committed to fact that the Bible is sufficient for all of life and practice.

2 Peter 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

In order for us to be able to sufficiently apply the Bible to life, we have to know it and meditate on it.

Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

A great way to begin knowing and meditating on God's Word is to read it. Our Bible Reading Plan for 2011 is a familiar division of Old and New Testament readings for each day. Our Bible Reading Plan for 2010 focused on Psalms and Proverbs. Our Bible Reading Plan for 2009 enabled the reader to read all of God's Word in one year in a chronological order. Other plans are available at websites like Heartlight.org.

Questions to ask when reading any Scriptures for the year:

1. How is Christ seen in the passages for today?
2. How do the passages for today fit into God's redemptive plan?
3. How are the passages for today fulfilled in the gospel?

Scripture Memory Plan for 2011

As a church we will be memorizing and meditating on these Scriptures.

• January - Joshua 24:15
  And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
