2 Peter Summer Reading Plan

We’ve launched a new summer series on 2 Peter we’re calling “Dying Words.” To better prepare for each sermon, follow the daily reading plan. You can download the plan here (https://bit.ly/3GNLPIi). See why you might want to consider this below.

Besides getting more out of the sermons, this can help build a daily Bible reading and reflection habit.

Joe Carter writes about a recent survey by the American Bible Society:

“26 million Americans reduced or stopped their interaction with Scripture in the past year. …The survey team also looked at a subcategory of the “Scripture Engaged.” They defined “scripture engagement” as consistent interaction with the Bible that shapes people’s choices and transforms their relationships with God, self, and others. Only 19 percent of American adults qualify as Scripture Engaged.”

This is significant because study after study finds that Bible engagement is one of the most important personal spiritual practices (if not the most important) for spiritual growth.

James Clear, who wrote Atomic Habits, makes a powerful case for starting small (really small) when establishing a new habit. People regularly sabotage their efforts by starting too big. 2 Peter is a small letter with a big message. It’s perfect for starting small in establishing a Bible reading and reflection habit.
