As many of you know, The Adventure is the new sermon series we are doing at Eagles View Church. The series is all about digging into the word of God and discovering the journey that comes along with that. Part of the series is encouraging EVC to engage in a 42-day bible reading plan (the plan can be found here).
This is a great opportunity to get you and your family reading the word of God together throughout the week. Read each day and maybe once a week gather to talk about some of the passages that stuck out to you and what you learned about it. As the parents, don't dominate the conversation! Let your teenager talk about all that God taught them through his word.
Throughout the week make sure you are encouraging your entire family to be reading their daily verses. Demonstrate for them what it looks like to give up time in front of the television or on the computer. Encourage them to find time in their own day to give to God rather than forcing them to a set time that you decide they should read.
EVC Staff members will be giving their thoughts throughout the next 42 days of how God is speaking to them. You can find posts on the EVC Facebook Page or on the staff members personal blog, such as mine - Niemanology.com. Maybe you could make these videos and posts part of your family worship time!
I really think that this can become more than 42 days of bible reading for your family, but it can become a way to worship the Lord together and hopefully become a weekly tradition for you all.
