This is it!  Possibly the most important project for Sovereign Grace Church in 2010.  Our “Read the Book” challenge.  Your pastors want to encourage you to read and enjoy God’s Word.  Sure, we are a new church and there is lots of exciting stuff going on.  But nothing will be more groundbreaking, more powerful, or more fruitful in our lives as individuals and as a church body than our times alone in God’s Word.

To help you, we’ve created this website and are bribing you with a promise of a steak dinner in January 2011.  Yup!  Steaks!  Any church member who joins us in our “Read the Book” Challenge and successfully completes a reading of the entire Bible in 2010 will be invited to a steak dinner banquet prepared and hosted by your pastoral team.  So!  Please register and start reading.

Comments on daily readings are encouraged.  You can use this function to encourage others with what God is speaking to you or if you have questions about a particular passage.


And if you are wondering what is so special about the Scriptures, here’s a brief explanation…

We are the people of The Book, God’s written self-disclosure to mankind.  It is essential, sufficient, and profitable for salvation and godliness.  As a church body, we affirm the following:

We accept the Bible, including the 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament, as the written Word of God. The Bible is the only essential and infallible record of God’s self-disclosure to mankind. It leads us to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Being given by God, the Scriptures are both fully and verbally inspired by God. Therefore, as originally given, the Bible is free of error in all it teaches. Each book is to be interpreted according to its context and purpose and in reverent obedience to the Lord who speaks through it in living power. All believers are exhorted to study the Scriptures and diligently apply them to their lives. The Scriptures are the authoritative and normative rule and guide of all Christian life, practice, and doctrine. They are totally sufficient and must not be added to, superseded, or changed by later tradition, extra-biblical revelation, or worldly wisdom. Every doctrinal formulation, whether of creed, confession, or theology must be put to the test of the full counsel of God in Holy Scripture.
