The Challenge: Read the Bible in a Year

Why? Because there is no greater means of uncovering the truth of God's love for us than by exploring God's word to us in Scripture. However, many folks don't engage in Scripture reading as a regular spiritual discipline. Some fear they don't know how to read the Bible, while others fear it's too challenging or inapplicable to read regularly. Join the challenge, however, and discover that reading Bible is easily approachable and still incredibly apprlicable!

How? Trinity's Adult Christian Education Commissino has worked hard to create a 52-week program designed to make reading the Bible in a year approachable, achievable, and enjoyable! The program centers around 52 weekly reading assignments, that each contains an Old Testament reading, a New Testament reading, and a Psalter reading. The readings are designed to build upon themselves, so that what you read in following weeks will be informed by your readings in prvious weeks. To further assist you with this challenge, the program suggests some specific resources, including the use of a Study Bible.

But perhaps the prgram's best (and free!) resource is the creation of "video blogs" that are available here on Trinity's website. Specifically, in the right-hand column of the "Home" page you'll see an icon, "The Bible in a Year," which will lead you to a series of video blogs, authored by Pastor Rob, that introduce the books of the Bible, as well as each and every reading assignment within the challenge. Thus, everything you read will have an introduction available to you.

When? The challenge is designed to begin the first Sunday of Lent. However, as this challenge will be web-based, it can be begun, paused, etc. according to your own scheduling needs.

So why not jump in and give yourself a gift beyond description, and read the Bible in a year?!
