New Testament Challenge

For many, the New Testament can be a mysterious and complicated book to read and learn from. From April through August we are adopting a collective challenge to read through the New Testament, engage with sermons on some of each week's reading, and expose ourselves to a class that helps us get a grasp on the uniqueness of each of the books God has given us in the New Testament.

Our goal is to help each one of us become more familiar with God's revelation of himself, his character, and his truth for our lives as we pursue a life of discipleship.

Our leadership team strives to produce disciples who are (1) word driven; (2) faith reliant; (3) grace focused; (4) worshipful; and (5) humble and teachable. We are focusing on the first quality (word-driven) thorugh August 2013. Beginning in September, we will highlight becoming Christ followers who reflect being faith reliant, that is, walking by faith.

If you would like to read the passage from which the sermon will be selected, simply follow the "Text Range" column in the schedule below.
