*This 52-week Bible study is designed so that you can start it at any point in the year.
Have you ever started reading the Bible only to get lost in all the ancient-sounding names, stories, and customs that just seem like a mystery to you? Do you want to develop a habit of faithfully reading God's Word but the task seems too daunting? Do you ever wonder if the teachings in the Old and New Testaments are still even relevant to your life?
If so, then 52 Weeks through the Bible can serve as your guide. Each week, you will be given selected passages to read that will help you develop a routine of getting into Scripture every day. You will be given context and background information for what you are reading so you can know, at a deeper level, what the text is actually saying. You will also be provided with reflections that uncover how what you are reading applies to your life and study questions that will help you to test your knowledge and allow God's wisdom to sink into your heart.
As one author wrote, "The word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit"(Hebrews 4:12). The Bible is your source of truth and your weapon against the enemy of your soul. It has the power to not only guide you in life you but also to transform your life. So it is critical for you use this "sword" each and every day of the year—and 52 Weeks through the Bible will show you how.
