We are reading the Bible together this year!!
God Sightings
I personally am so excited about what I see God doing in and through this church. We are becoming a healing place for hurting people—no matter what the circumstance is, people are coming to us in their struggles and finding that not only is our faith strong, but we are sharing out of our hearts the ways we have discovered the reality of God’s love. Mt. Healthy Christian Church is a place where God is real, Jesus is Lord, and the Spirit moves to empower us to live out of faith, hope and love.
In 2010, we are going to read the entire Bible together. That may sound like a completely impossible task, but really it will not be impossible. Why? Because as we read the Bible, we will be looking for the many ways God is working around us, in our lives and in the lives of all the people we meet.
The One Year Bible leads us through the process in a special order, giving us an Old Testament, a New Testament, a Psalm, and a Proverb to read every day. Our God Sightings Companion Guide will help focus our vision on where God is working around us, as well as giving us space to write about our experiences with the Bible.
In Worship I will preach, reading something in scripture from our weekly assignment, and reflecting on God’s activity among us. In Sunday School all our classes will spend time asking and answering the question, Where Have You Seen God This Week? If you choose to follow the reading schedule in a Bible you already own, in every worship bulletin the week’s readings will be published, and in every Church Ties the readings for that month will be published. And whether you read every word, or focus on, say, the New Testament reading, you will be part of an amazing journey through the Bible and in your heart. No matter what, we will become more sensitive, more aware, more responsive, to God alive and working today, in us and around us and through us.
So, get yourselves ready, get your Bibles and let’s go, discovering the Truth of the scriptures in a new way, throughout all of 2010. Hold on, everyone! The coming year will be full of surprises and wonder.
With love, Michael
