Happy New Year!
The new tract in the Bezeugen Tract Club mailing is a new design of the Twenty-One Day challenge with a 2019 theme! This tract is a powerful way to introduce people you share the Gospel with to reading the Bible. It gets them in a habit of reading the Bible a chapter a day. As you hand out the tract invite the person you hand it to to join the 21 day challenge to read the Gospel of John. Take the challenge with them, then meet them for coffee or lunch weekly or when the challenge is over to talk about what they have learned! You can find the links to read, listen to or watch the Gospel of John online at the After Life Catalog site.
When I added the video to the 21 day challenge web site I started watching the Gospel of John each day. One day I was on the elliptical at the recreation center watching the video for John 16. When the video ended the auto-play started playing a sermon. Since I was nearing the end of my workout, I let it play and really got into the sermon to the point where I listened to the rest of it on my way to work, then listened to the rest of John over that following weekend. I later started looking into who I was listening to and found it is Skip Heitzig from Calvary Chapel Albuquerque. I’ve been truly blessed by his teaching. To go deeper, you may like to check out the series on John.
As I learned more about Skip Heitzig I found that he has a book, workbook and sermon series as an overview of the Bible called “The Bible from 30,000 Feet”. I find that many in the church and especially those new to the Bible don’t have a good high level understand of what the Bible is about. This material can help change that. Perhaps you’d like a better overview understanding of the Bible. Then you may like to check out the book. Or perhaps you like to listen to sermons, then this may be a good opportunity to jump in and listen to an overview of the Bible – from 30,000 feet. The series can be found online here. Since these are being presented as the current Wednesday series, we will also start posting them to the Pray Learn Go Facebook page each Wednesday.
Finally, we encourage you to be in the Word every day. Jesus says, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4) Feed your soul by reading His Word every day. Getting into the Word daily also helps with personal witnessing. The more familiar you are with His Word the more you can quote it, know it and witness to people. How about committing to read the Bible every day this year! If you’d like to join us we will be posting a reading plan to take you through the Bible on the Pray Learn Go Facebook Page. You can also find a number of other reading plans online or in the YouVersion Bible App.
