Bible Reading Plan: June 28 - July 4

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 start this week in the Book of Joshua – it records Israel’s transition from a wandering people to a covenant nation under Joshua after Moses’ death. It highlights God’s  faithfulness where God teaches His people blessings that come through faith and obedience. Joshua foreshadows Jesus Christ, who leads believers into the eternal inheritance and rest.

When reading, ask yourself the following questions:
  • What does it say about God?
  • What does it say to/about me?
  • What can I learn from this reading?
  • June 28, Sun Worship God with gratefulness and joy!
    Prov 3:35 “The wise will inherit honor, but fools get disgrace”
  • June 29, Mon Give God thanks for a wonderful Art & Science Camp!
    Joshua 2: 15-24 [Remember, Rahab is a prostitute with who these 2 spies are collaborating. How open are you to working with and relying on sinful people while doing God’s work?] Vs 24 - How do these men conclude so emphatically that God has given the land?

    Joshua 3: 1-13 Before God can do a work, there is a biblical principle of ‘consecration’ (vs 5) – a preparation of self so that a holy God is able to work in and through us. Notice the specificity of God’s instruction to Joshua and the people – obedience is key

    Joshua 3: 14-17 Faith is not just believing; it includes acting on the one next thing God has asked you do – it’s in that doing that God’s promised things happen. See vs 15. People / Congregation need to witness the obedience of leaders to witness whether
    God is with them; when they see and experience … they trust

    Joshua 4: 1-14 We tend to forget, which is why visual reminders are good – see vs 6. Do you have visual things that bear witness to God’s goodness in your life? [Bonus info: “Cairn” is a Scottish-Gaelic word for a pile of stones used for markers, memorials, etc.]
  • July 3, Fri Birthday: Grace Yotko
    Joshua 4: 15-24 Sometimes Christians are ‘notorious’ of telling/teaching others when not invited; usually we do it for our own ego, or in fulfilling a duty. Notice vs 21 – “When your children ask …”. How often do others “ask” you (I Peter 3:15)? If people don’t
    find you different, or don’t see Jesus in you …
  • July 4, Sat B’days: Druscilla Senkungu, Jean Birnie, Jason Heim
    Joshua 5: 1-12 If God is at work in our lives and ministry, we don’t have to convince people – they’ll see it and be curious (vs 1). They circled for 40 years in the wilderness because of disobedience; not circumcising the males was another evidence of their sin.
    Repentance includes righting a wrong, even after God’s grace.
