Last week, as a church, we began following the Community Bible Experience - New Testament reading programme.
As you will see from the short video below this is basically an 8 week reading programme that covers the whole of the New Testament. But this programme follows the text of the New Testament without any of the familiar chapter headings, chapter numbers, verse numbers, footnotes etc. that many of us who have a 'normal' Bible will be familiar with.
I have found the first week very interesting - although the length of the readings takes a bit of getting used to. Each reading is the equivalent of several chapters in length and most of us who follow some kind of regular Bible reading programme will be much more used to a few verses at a time.
But reading in big chunks does give a good overview and also shows up recurring themes and words. Looking forward to house group tonight to see how others have found the first week.
