NEW BEGINNINGS: Jan 5th Class (Wk 1: Gen 1-10, Eph 1-5)

We have finished the book of Acts, and are beginning 2014 with a broader focus ... the scope and sequence of God's Word.  That's right, in 2014 we will begin reading/studying our way through the whole Bible.  It took us more than a year to study Acts 13-28.  At that pace it could take us a lifetime to get from Genesis to Revelation ... which is why we're making a few changes to the format of our group:

1. There are 5 days of reading homework throughout the week, which I will be posting here.  The reading schedule comes from the "Thematic" reading plan on the Bible Study Tools website (www.biblestudytools.com).
2. Our class time will be more of a discussion forum and less of a teaching.
3. In addition to posting my own personal insights and summaries of class discussions, I want the Now What? blog to be a forum for conversation throughout the week    a place for class members/visitors to post their own insights on/questions about the readings and make suggestions for the focus of upcoming class time.  You will do this by commenting on the week's reading plan.

So without further ado, the Week 1 readings (for the Jan 5th class) are:

• Day 1:  Psalm 148; Genesis 1-2; Ephesians 1 
• Day 2:  Genesis 3-4; Ephesians 2
• Day 3:  Genesis 5-6; Psalms 12; Ephesians 3
• Day 4:  Genesis 7-8; Ephesians 4
• Day 5:  Psalm 8; Genesis 9-10; Ephesians 5

I can't wait to study with you!
