The Joseph Challenge

This weekend we start a new series on the Old Testament character Joseph. 

Author & Pastor John Ortberg has stated in one of his books, "more important than going through the Bible is getting the Bible through you."

Therefore I would like to present a challenge to you that starting on Friday Sept. 5 and concluding on Friday Oct. 5 that you would join me in reading Genesis chapters 37-50 at a pace of 2 chapters every day during the next 30 days.  Genesis 37-50 chronicles Joseph's story and would be a great way to have his story being immersed in your life as we learn about him in our weekend services during this same time period.  Essentially you would be reading about his life weekly and will get through at least for times if you follow the pacing I suggested.

I hope you will join me in this challenge.

In addition another great help that I am using to enhance my learning experience during this series is reading a book on the life of Joseph by Chuck Swindoll.  To order the book click here.

Steve,
thanks for joining me in this effort -- I believe we will definitely come out spiritually charged at the end of it.

Also either you or Lauren or the church website needs to put pictures up of your opening weekend.
