Essential 100 Bible Challenge

We are throwing the Bible reading assignments up each day on the Event Facebook Page.

I would also suggest going to YouVersion to follow along with the plan.

It has been great to hear from so many people who are joining us for this. We've had people sign up at the church, via email, and on the Facebook page. We've hard stories of families doing this together... Offices doing this together and even churches that have decided to join us. Because of your faithfulness to invite your friends, we have literally hundreds and hundreds committed to reading their Bibles daily for these 100 days!

Thanks for being a part of this!

E100 For Wednesday, January 5

OK... The assignment for tomorrow (1.5) is Genesis 1-2. I would love to see us get a discussion going on the Facebook page through the day tomorrow. So here are three questions I want to throw out for you to think about as you read and maybe comment on...

1. What does it mean that we are made in God's Image? How should that affect how we live?

2. What does it mean that God created men and women to compliment one another? In what ways is your life blessed because of this complimentary creation? Why is it good that men and women have different approaches, temperaments, strengths?

3. What things do these two chapter remind us that we should thank the Lord for?

Essential 100 Bible Challenge Begins In 24 Hours!

We all begin tomorrow morning. Here are some questions to answer to know if you are ready...

• Do you have a list of verses to read each day? We will post them on the Facebook Event Page each night for the next day, but you can also email us at e100@fbcho.com for the entire verse list or stop by the church for paper copies and bookmarks we've made with all... of the assignments listed.

• Have you invited all of your friends and family? What better way to encourage those around you in their walk with the Lord!

• Do you have an easy to read Bible? I, pastor Noel, and going to do my reading from an NLT Bible. Any translation will work as long as you have one you can easily understand.

• Do you want the accompanying devotional book? It isn't necessary but might help you better understand what you are reading. We have them here at the church if you can come by. Read the blog post below for more info about the books.
