People of the Book 2019 Reading Plan
Reading the Bible in Chronological Order
We are reading through the Bible chronologically this year using these bookmarks as a guide. At the end of each week on Sundays at 5 PM, we are gathering in small groups to discuss what we’ve learned as we read. If this strikes your interest, we hope you’ll pick up with today’s date and come join us as we read! The current month’s reading till be featured at the top with the full scheduled below that.
Questions to consider as you read:
What did you learn?
What didn’t you understand?
What had you not seen before?
