1 Samuel 12:18

Worship is a grand and all-encompassing word. This 4-day reading plan shows what it means and how people of the Bible were called to worship the God of heaven.

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.

Fasting is one of the most neglected spiritual disciplines. Even though the Bible regularly mentions this practice, many never even consider it. In this reading plan, you will look at biblical examples to discover several ways that fasting can be a powerful discipline in the Christian life. By the end of the week, you will know how and why to fast, even if you don’t have any experience.

This reading plan will introduce you to the book of Samuel, including why and under what circumstances the book was written and how it applies to Christians today.
