2023 Bible Reading Program

 

Eastside's theme for 2023 will be "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations from Isaiah 56:7". To underscore Steve's efforts bringing us sermons on this topic throughout the year, we want to continue our congregational reading program. So each week this year, we ask that in addition to your other Bible study efforts, you read the passages below based on the listed dates. As you read, ask yourself "what are the lessons and applications of this text to my life?" and then pray about making those applications. This approach to reading and prayer completes the cycle of communication between us and God.

In addition, we have added the reading for our Bible classes to our New Testament reading plan. It is a special time as the entire congregation is studying the same material, from our youngest to oldest. The should allow us to study together as a family as we go through the cycle in our adult classes as well. This page includes the base memory work for the students as well as passages we feel all Christians should know. The elders ask that we discuss the memory work with our children each week as well. Letting them build our faith and working to memorize them if we don't already know them.
