    Bible Study

    I know many of you are reading along with the church in our Bible Reading plan. Talk to your friends about what God is showing you in Scripture.

    While our Bible Studies will be winding down for the summer, we still have a place for everyone on Sunday morning to study the Bible with others in a small group. Ask Gloria for help if you want to know what class you should try.

    In addition to reading Scripture daily, here are 10 books every Christian should read. All of these are available in our media center for check out.

    1. The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller. This book challenges our understanding of Christianity and the gospel.
    2. Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus by Nabeel Qureshi. This story about a Muslim’s conversion to Christianity is an excellent apologetics book that also challenges its readers to be faithful in their evangelism.
    3. When Sinners Say “ I do” by Dave Harvey. This marriage book explores how the gospel introduces grace into believer’s marriages.
    4. The Grace Awakening by Charles Swindoll. This book confronts legalism and celebrates the grace of the gospel.
    5. Radical by David Platt. This book challenges its readers to reorient their priorities around missions and evangelism.
    6. What is the Mission of the Church? by Kevin DeYoung and Greg Gilbert. This book clarifies what the church – and subsequently, what every Christian – is here for.
    7. Tell the Truth by Will Metzger. This book explains evangelism and challenges its readers to practice what they learn.
    8. When People are Big and God is Small by Edward Welch. This book challenges us to think more highly of God and to stop basing our actions on what other people think of us.
    9. A Praying Church by Paul Miller. This book highlights prayer and gives practical advice on how to pray as a body of believers.
    10. Designed to Lead by Eric Geiger and Kevin Peck. This book calls all Christians in the world to operate as leaders in the world and it serves as a guide for developing leaders within the church.

    Bible Reading Plan

    Our new Bible reading plan began on January 1, 2025.  We are reading the New Testament in chronological order at the rate of about 1 chapter day.  It will be fun to see the 4 Gospels put together in chronological order.  To be able to do this, you will need a Bible bookmark, reading guide or you can follow along on our website.  Make it a point to talk to others about what you are reading each day and what the God of the Universe is teaching you.  It is important for Christians to talk to each other about Scripture and what God is showing them.  Bookmarks and reading guides are available in the connection center.

    Bible Study Corner

    There is a place for everyone on Sunday mornings for Bible Study.  Please ask a First Impression’s team member to help you with options.  We use a variety of scripturally sound materials (some use Right now Media, some use purchased literature, and others just use the Bible itself).  Join us on Sunday morning from 9:15 – 10:15.

    Bible Reading Plan

    I’m very excited about next year’s Bible reading plan.  We will be reading through the New Testament in chronological order.  This approach will take us through the 4 gospels in a way that you have never looked at them before.  Events in the early church will be embedded with the book of Acts.  We will be reading a chapter per day and sometimes slightly less.  It will give you a new appreciation for scripture as it is revealed when events happened.  As always, we will have bookmarks and the plan will be listed on our web site.  I am looking forward to going on this journey with you through the New Testament.
