In 2019, we’ll provide a monthly reading plan centered around our blog theme for 2019: This Is Discipleship. We wanted to go ahead and provide the April reading plan for those of you that like to print it out and have it ready for the first day of the month!
As we continue to learn about discipleship, we wanted to study and learn about living in community this month. Living in community is a vital part of the Christian life and therefore vital to discipleship. Scripture teaches us over and over what it looks like to be the family of God, living unified in Christ. Our community will look different from other communities, and rightly so. If we are united with Christ, we are united with one another. We are brothers and sisters.
This month, our reading plan covers passages of Scripture about living in community. What does it look like? How do we live out the “one another” passages? What does it mean to be a part of this group of people, united in Christ?
Because Easter is this month, we didn’t want to miss out on revisiting the story of the first Easter. We want to celebrate our risen Savior—it is because of Easter, after all, that we are all now a part of the body of Christ! The week of Easter, we will be reading from Mark’s Gospel about Passion Week, or Holy Week (the week of Easter), culminating in Jesus’ death and resurrection. Even if you’re very familiar with this story, we hope you’ll read it again, giving thanks anew for God’s love for us.
We hope this month’s reading challenges you to love your neighbor because God first loved us. Thank you for reading God’s Word with us this year!
