Route 66: God's Story -- the Bible

The Plan

• 3D Reading Plan (Digging Deeper Daily)

This is a brand new chronological reading plan through the entire Bible in 2018. (Bibles are available plus a Reader’s Guide to purchase and Bookmarks)

• Route 66 Message Series

There will be a Message on every book in the Bible in 2018.  Additionally, we will provide you with a weekly Scripture Background Guide for every Book.

• LifeGroups – We will also spend even more time looking at each Book of the Bible and find what we can LEARN about the Lord, what we LOVE more about the Lord and His Word, and then how we can LIVE it out each week.

• Read the Bible for Life

As we read, go to our website and watch the material I shared on Wednesday nights last fall during ReFuel. This will help you read the Bible more clearly, understand it better, and also learn how to apply it to your daily life.   www.petalfbc.com/messages. Click on Series and select Read the Bible for Life for the section you are reading.
