Do You Know…
Do You Know for Sure…that you are going to be with God in heaven?
God loves you and created you to know Him personally. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16
God’s Plan: “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3
Man is sinful and separated from God, so we cannot know Him personally or experience His love. “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
Jesus Christ is God’s ONLY provision for man’s sin. Through Him alone you can know God personally and experience God’s love. He died in our place: “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
He is the only way to God: “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” John 14:6
You must individually repent and receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then you can know God personally and experience His love. You must receive Christ: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,” John 1:12 “The Lord is not slow about His promise… not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9
We receive Christ through faith: “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8

Building Families
Building Families Through God’s Word
Our Bible Reading Plans begin on January 1st
Stop by the Welcome Center to pick up a copy of the reading plan
or find it here:
The steady intake of God’s Word can become a joy and a delight each day. The Word of God is true (John 17:17) and powerful (Heb 4:12), to transform our lives (Rom 12:2), into the people God wants us to be. The Holy Spirit, who resides in every true believer (1 Cor 6:19), gives us understanding of His Word (1 Cor 2:12).
Therefore, the goal of Bible reading is to listen to the Holy Spirit for the application He is impressing on you through the truth you are reading.
Here’s the format— Read, Discuss, Pray, Share. That’s it.
Anyone can start anytime throughout the year.
Anyone can start anytime throughout the year.
Read:
The reading plan is 25 days per month, which is approximately 6 days per week. Read the passage(s) for that day (together and out loud for families) Each day’s New Testament reading should only take about 5 minutes. Begin there. The Old Testament passages are 10 or more minutes.
Discuss:
(If you are single write your thoughts in a notebook.)
1) What is the passage saying?
2) What should I do in response to it?
Each day’s discussion need not take longer than 5-7 minutes.
Pray:
Pray something relative to what was just read, and for you/your family’s needs that day.
Share:
Make it a point to share what God impressed on you with someone else during the day.
Tips:
• Find a time of day that works every day, six days a week. For
married couples make sure both husband and wife agree and
work together to establish this habit.
• Begin with the New Testament reading. A good first goal is to
establish daily bible reading. If you try to do too much you are
more likely to be become over-whelmed and quit. After daily
Bible reading becomes part of your routine add the poetry
(Psalms, Proverbs, etc.) reading for the next step. Lastly, perhaps
add the Old Testament. This may be after the first month or two
or several months or even a year.
• If you miss, feel free to skip a reading, or some readings. Trying
to “catch up” can be overwhelming and cause you to miss the
goal.
• Don’t worry about what you don’t understand. When the time
is right, and God wants you to understand it, He will give you

GIVE
Our God is a God of abundance and He loves to give. He sacrificed willingly on the cross and then invited us into fullness of life. As His children, we are called to imitate Him. Our generosity in giving is a demonstration of God’s character and a response to what He has done for us.
