Message: The Blessing of God’s Word (and why I need it so badly)
Scripture: Isaiah 25:6-9
Offered 1/10/16, Bible Sunday, at Trinity United Methodist Church, Sarasota FL

On Bible Sunday we give elementary school age children their first Bibles and rededicate ourselves to the blessing of God’s Holy Word. This day was especially wonderful because we also dedicated new pew Bibles and songbooks. Click Here for the resource we us when presenting Bibles.

Bible Reading Program 2016

Ways to Engage God through the Bible

• Bible Buddy- for support and accountability

• Copy a verse and carry it with you
• Journal
• Art/doodle a verse
• Pray the scripture

1 Corinthians 15:54-57 NRSV
When this perishable body puts on imperishability, and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will be fulfilled: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 21:4 NRSV
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.
