The Word Reading Plans

Dear Life Churchers,

Welcome to our shared, and yet very personal adventure through God’s Word.

The theme for this year is - ‘The Word’.

We get to know God better through intimacy with the Word of God. Our goal for 2024 is that each of us draw closer to God by increasing our relationship with His Word.

Each month there will be a fresh reading plan that focuses on a book of the bible. Our preaching will follow this biblical path so that our Sunday teaching will be aligned with our personal Bible reading devotions. This S.O.A.P. journal will be available for you all year so that we can individually journal what God is saying to us as we spend time in his Word.

Let’s go on this adventure together toward greater intimacy with Him and a deeper love for His word.

Ps Geoff & Lee

The book of Hebrews was written by Paul or one of his disciples. It was sent to Hebrew Christians who were considering abandoning faith in Jesus and returning to the Jewish law. Hebrews repeatedly points out that Jesus is better; better than the angels, better than Moses, better than the Levitical Priesthood. Jesus offers a better promise with a better rest. We are repeatedly reminded of the dire consequences of abandoning faith in Jesus to opt for personal effort as all that went before serves only to point us to God's original plan: Salvation through faith in Jesus.
