More Days Than Not pt.1
Simple Steps to Commit to Reading the Bible This Year
SUMMARY :
The Word of God is alive and active, but it can also be difficult to build a regular reading habit. Instead of creating a rigid routine, we can find simple ways to make consistency sustainable by making the process enjoyable. This involves knowing the goal, finding a guide, and refusing to give up.
We all get excited about “new year, new goals”-but what’s the secret to habits that last? What if being perfect isn’t as impactful as being consistent? See you this week at church as we discover how showing up More Days Than Not can lead to habits that stick.
KEY SCRIPTURE :
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV
HIGHLIGHTS :
•Knowing better is not the same thing as doing better.
•If you want to make change sustainable, make the process enjoyable.
•Read the Bible more days than you don’t.
•“Engaging the Bible four or more days a week is the single most powerful predictor of spiritual growth … becoming more like Christ in our thoughts, words, and deeds.”
—Center for Bible Engagement
*How to Make Reading the Bible More Enjoyable
1. Know the goal.

3. Refuse to give up.
•Jesus is King. Context is everything.
•In Hebrew poetry, the patterns and the problems reveal the purpose.
•Your value doesn’t come from what you do.
•Your value comes from the God who made you.
