The 110 Day Challenge

Jesus said that if we hold on to His teachings, that is to really spend time living in them, we would grow to know the truth and the truth would set us free.

Pastor John Klotz has given us a 110 day challenge to do just that by reading the four gospels of the New Testament for 110 days straight. The plan simply is to read one chapter a day from one of the gospels until you've read every chapter. The format is like this: read Matthew one chapter a day for 28 days, John chapter/day for 21 days, Mark chapter/day for 16 days, 21 days in John again, and concluded with Luke chapter/day for 24 days. This will give you 110 days of reading the teachings of Jesus.

Before you read each day ask the Lord to speak to you through the chapter. As you read look for something that stands out and pray asking the Lord what He wants you to get from that verse or passage. Then apply what you discover to your life and live what you've learned.

Let's see what happens in our church and families as we saturate ourselves with the teachings of Jesus. Without a doubt we will know the truth and see the spiritual freedom God gives being displayed more greatly in our lives. The challenge goes from Monday, February 25 through Friday, June 13.
