God's Word & Reading Plan
The best way we can change our thinking is through engaging God’s Word. The Scriptures are the revelation of who we are, who God is, and what we were created to do. They define truth in a world of lies. They show us what’s normal, healthy, and whole. God’s Word teaches us how to live and opens our minds to what’s possible.
We don’t work on the Scriptures; the Scriptures work on us. God’s Word is living and active. It’s a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. It shapes and molds us into the image and likeness of Jesus. It’s not about what we have to do; it’s about what Jesus has done. God’s Word teaches us God’s ways and God’s wisdom in a world full of chaos and confusion.
As you read through the New Testament, before you read through each book, take some time to watch a short commentary. Then, at the end of each book, we encourage you to ask three questions: 1) What is my key verse? 2) What did I discover about Jesus and His kingdom? 3) What is the Holy Spirit teaching me?
