Bible Reading Plan: April 12-18

April 10th, 2026
by His Servant

We invite you to join us in reading through the Bible together. We're not trying to complete it in a limited time frame like a month or a year; but rather, we want to create a habit (or discipline) of getting to know God's heart through what He's told us about Himself.

We are studying the Letter to the church in Corinth. It’s Paul’s corrective letter to a divided and morally compromised church. He confronts disunity, immorality, misuse of spiritual gifts, and confusion about worship and the resurrection. His purpose is to re-center the church on Christ crucified and risen, calling them to holiness, unity, and love.

When reading, ask yourself the following questions:

What does it say about God?

I Cor 11:17-24 Historically, God’s people had a meal followed by the Lord’s Table / Communion. Paul confronts 2 issues: there are divisions in the church, and some people who came hungry were humiliated by those who were insensitive and eating ahead of

April 16, Thur Birthday: Julia Browne
I Cor 11:25-34 The warning that if we participate in the ‘Lord’s Table’ in an unworthy manner, we bring judgment on ourselves (vs 29-30). When we practice this memorable ritual, we “proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (vs 26)
April 17, Fri Pray for the AWANA ministry

I Cor 12:9-16 There are 2 schools of theology on these gifts: Baptists and Congregational denominations believe that these ‘gifts’ were meant for the early church only – known as “Cessationist”.
