Be Encouraged

On September 13th we will begin a year long progression through the entire Bible. It may seem like a daunting task and to be certain it will be on a number of different fronts.

With only 52 weeks in a year and 66 Books in the Bible we cannot do a book a week and finish and so, our approach will have to be different. We will take a “bird’s eye view.” Sometimes we will soar high like an eagle and get an expansive view. At other times we will get a ducks view, in a sense, hovering closer to the ground and hopping from one pond to the next. And still at other times we’ll get the robin pecking for the worm view and be on the ground.

A word of encouragement for this daunting task.

52 weeks equals 52 sermons
If each sermon were an hour long that would be 52 hours.

[Now I realize it seems like the sermon is always more than an hour but it usually lands between 35 and 45 minutes.]

Doing the math with 24 hours in a day the entire sermon series end for end would only occupy 2 and 1/6th days. Not a huge time commitment when you think about it.

Please continue to pray for our congregation during this time and for those who will visit.
