Thru The Bible 2024
Приєднався 3 січ 2024
Meditation of all the 66 books from the Bible in a year, starting from Genesis on January 1st, 2024. And reading one chapter from the New Testament on weekdays. We use New Living Translation (NLT) version of the Bible for our reading. Apostle Paul writes to Timothy, in 1 Timothy 4:8, “Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.” Quoting American evangelist and teacher Smith Wigglesworth about, the Word and the Spirit brought together in fellowship, "The Word without the Spirit you dry up, the Spirit without the Word you blow up, but the Spirit with the Word you grow up!" Thus, as a small group we endeavor to study the Bible under the training of our eternal Coach, the Spirit of God, Who plays a crucial role in guiding us to understand His Word to our situations, providing expertise, motivation, and constructive feedback to help us improve performance and achieve His goals in our lives.
