Family Bible Challenge
Student Ministries Family Bible Challenge
OVERVIEW
There are many challenges facing Christian families in these times. The culture we live in does all it can to take influence away from parents, which hinders passing down beliefs and values. Cell phones, tablets, television, work, stress etc. keep families from communicating with each other and hyper individualism makes us ok with that. The family Bible Reading Challenge is our effort to help families put God into His rightful place by spending dedicated time with Him each Week. We know many of our members are reading their word individually, but gathering as a family, hearing God’s word, and talking about it we believe will bring renewed interest and value into the things of God for generations to come.
GOALS
1. We want families to block out one hour each week for 2 months to read God’s word together.
2. Help members of all ages be excited and interested in God’s word and His ways.
3. Help facilitate meaningful discussions in our members' homes about God’s word and how God has changed their lives.
4. Celebrate God’s word as a church family on a few Sunday Mornings.
5. Encourage families to adopt weekly devotionals as a permanent practice.
To Do List
1. Sign up for the challenge. Only one person per household needs to complete this process. We want to be able to encourage your family and get feedback so signing up is essential.
2. Decide the day of the week, time and place your family will have their Bible reading together.
3. Access a new devotional each week. The weekly devotional will be uploaded to the church website and app every week. For those of you who don’t want it digitally physical copies will be made available in the lobby each week.
4. Enjoy God’s word together and let us know how it’s affecting your family.
