Bible in a Year:
Week of January 1st

Many people have simply never read the Bible from cover to cover; and yet many people have many opinions about what is there. The first time I read it through the actual scope and flow of the Word became apparent - the underlying plan and it's unfolding.

The idea is that over the years this resource can grow as folks add their own comments, links to commentaries and other tools, etc in the comments to this index.

  1. Do you have a viewpoint on a particular piece of scripture? Go to that place and leave a comment.
  2. Heard or read a great sermon on a section of scripture? Link the audio file or text in the comments.
  3. The possibilities are many.

1/1: Genesis 1:1-3:24; D: Sirach 1

1/2: Genesis 4:1-5:32; D: Sirach 1

1/3: Genesis 6:1-9:17; D: Sirach 1

1/4: Genesis 9:18-12:9; D: Sirach 2

1/5: Genesis 12:10-16:16; D: Sirach 2


Things to look for each day:
  1. Lessons to be learned
  2. Examples to be followed
  3. Promises to be enjoyed
  4. Jesus to be revealed
A good journaling question: How will I be different today because of what I have just read?

Next Week: Week of January 6th
Index to whole series
