In just a few short weeks (3 to be exact) we will resume our two year journey through the Bible.  The format will remain the same:

  • Sunday Morning Class will consist of an overview of that week’s book.
  • Our Sermon time will continue the “Scarlet Thread” series.  Throughout the NT we will move from the prophecies of the Hebrew Scriptures to the lessons that Jesus has to teach us.
  • Sunday night will be spent dealing with special issues and controversial passages that arise in our weekly reading and study.
  • Wednesday Night will be a devotional thought from the book of the Week.

Following is a TENTATIVE list of what the sermon schedul will be. As I began to plot out each book I settled on the theme of what Jesus calls us to be.  However, I began to have this gnawing feeling that there was something wrong.  Then I realized that the “Be…” idea had already been done by Warren Wiersbe.  In no way am I trying to replow his ground, so I did not look at the titles of his series until I was done.  Although there might be some overlap in title’s, I believe that my series will be quite different from his.

Also, notice that Romans is left up in the air.  I will be out of town for my 20th high school reunion that weekend.  Since I recently spent 9 months on Romans I feel like someone else should take a stab at it.

I covet your thoughts and feedback on this schedule.
