The Word of God for the People of God

Obviously, God’s people need to read the Bible! We began an emphasis that we call The Word of God for The People of God back in Advent of 2008. Our church began providing daily Bible readings for our members. Dr. Wiles designed a reading program that led us through the entire Old Testament once and the New Testament twice in a 2-year span. It was great! Lots of folks participated and it brought a sense of unity to our church body.  

So, we decided to continue this important ministry in our church. Dr. Wiles has designed a new Bible reading plan that is thematically-based, rather than a “read-through” the Bible approach. We launched it in January of 2011.  

The readings are designed to assist you in your understanding of the Six Spiritual Growth Areas that our church has embraced as necessary for your spiritual transformation. We are giving the entire year of 2011 to the theme of transformation.  

Here is how it works. Dr. Wiles is preaching an 8-week series on each of the 6 growth areas. The daily Bible readings are designed to supplement the sermons each week. The readings are assigned for Monday – Friday. Each day’s reading assignment includes an application question for the day’s reading. On Saturday, Dr. Wiles has offered you some questions for reflection that connect to the weekly readings. We also have weekly memory verses as well.  

You can sign up to receive the readings electronically. You can view previous weekly videos from both Dr. Wiles and fellow church members who share the journey with you.  You may view these videos at http://fbca.org/transformedvideos .
