As we begin a new school year, this is around the time that I start looking for some new topics to study in God’s Word. My biggest source for these is normally YouVersion or Right Now Media, where there are a huge variety of plans for different people. As you make plans for this year, we invite you to explore Bible reading plans designed to help you prioritize reading God’s Word. Whether you’d like to read the entire Bible or focus attention on one book or on a topic, we hope these plans will serve you well to Know, Grow and Go with All Nations Church.
The Chronological Bible Study: “The Blue Letter Bible “Chronological” plan is compiled according to recent historical research, taking into account the order in which the recorded events actually occurred. This is a fantastic plan to follow if you wish to add historical context to your reading of the Bible. If the schedule provided is followed, the entire Bible will be read in one calendar year.” https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/5-chronological
How to stop worrying: “If you’re alive, then you’ve probably struggled with worry. Some people worry a lot, while others occasionally allow things to preoccupy our thoughts. No matter how often or how little, it’s wise for us to learn how to navigate this monster that we allow to steal our peace and hijack our faith. This 4-day Plan will help you do just that.” https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/18688-how-to-stop-worrying
My Time With God Study: “Our journey with God is filled with sweet moments, times of healing, direction about our lives, encouragements to keep going or the simple joys that He reveals to us. Whatever it is, we want to encourage you with seven devotions from Joyce’s newest devotional, My Time with God, to give you fresh focus on how much God loves you and the various ways He wants to help with your life.” https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/9372-my-time-with-god-study
How to study the Bible: “It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, ill-equipped, and just plain lost when it comes to God’s Word. My aim is to simplify the process of Bible Study for you in a few ways by teaching you three of the most important principles of successful Bible Study. Join this plan and discover how to read the Bible not just for information, but for life transformation today!” https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/13388-how-to-study-the-bible-foundations
Wild at Heart: “In this updated edition of the bestselling classic, Wild at Heart, author John Eldredge reminds men we need adventure in our lives . . . in our work, in our love, and our spiritual lives. He reveals how God designed men to be dangerous. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: to be a hero, to be a warrior, and to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men today have abandoned these dreams and desires—aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a “nice guy.” It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death.” https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/content/details/247
The Reason For God: “This six-session small group Bible study captures live and unscripted conversations between Tim Keller and a group of people to address their doubts and objections to Christianity. Using literature, philosophy, and Scripture, Keller and the group explore the truth of Christianity. Christians will be challenged to wrestle with their friends and neighbors’ hardest questions, and to engage those questions in ways that will spark an honest, enriching, and humbling dialogue. Capture a live and unscripted conversation between Timothy Keller and the six panelists discussing their objections to Christianity. This study will help small groups and individuals dig deeper into the objections of the Christian faith and to learn about both sides of the issues.” https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/content/details/213
The Case for Christ: “Is there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God? Skeptics dismiss the Jesus of the Gospels by claiming there is no evidence in the case for Christ. Lee Strobel disagrees. The former legal journalist and one-time atheist knows to ask tough questions. His own search for truth about Jesus led him to faith in Christ. Now Strobel invites you and your group to investigate the truth about Jesus Christ leading to the facts that guided Strobel from atheism to faith in Christ.” https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/content/details/403633
The Book of Philippians: “In this eight-session series, Jo Saxton takes us through Philippians to encourage us to follow Jesus no matter what life throws at us. Through Paul’s words and example, learn how joy and sacrifice can go hand-in-hand.” https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/content/details/368582
The Cost of Control: “We often claim to have everything under control—whether it’s our hectic family schedules, deadlines at work, or unexpected problems that throw us off track—but are we, really? Control can trick us into thinking we can gain comfort, security, and peace through our own efforts. But even though we might think we have a handle on our lives, God is the only one fully in control. In this 6-session series, Bible teacher and author Sharon Hodde Miller discusses the way control can cost us a lot more than we could ever imagine—and how we can walk in faith knowing God is in complete control.” https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/content/details/762742
