I’ll start a new sermon series on October 15th on the life of Jacob. (Genesis 24-35) Jacob’s journey to faith and accepting his place in God’s plan is full of schemes, betrayal, and family dysfunction. Yet, in the midst of the mess, God remains steadfast- offering relationship, provision, purpose, and new life. In Jacob’s story, we see our own mess and the hope of God’s saving grace for us as well.

The following scripture reading plan was designed to accompany the sermon series. Feel free to adjust the dates to what suits you best.

You’re welcome to join us live for worship anytime at 9:30 am or 11:00 am at Coronado Community United Methodist Church in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. You can also find recordings of our 9:30 am and 11:00 am services on our YouTube Channel. – Lisa <><

FAQ for the Reading Plan:

• 5 readings per week for 6 weeks, beginning the week of October 8th and ending the week of November 12th. The readings related to the sermon take place the week before the sermon so the congregation is familiar with the story. For example, the readings for the week of October 8th lead up to the sermon on October 15th.
• The plan focuses on chapters 24-35 of Genesis, plus additional scriptures that share themes with the Genesis passages.
• The second page of the plan provides a simple plan to help you hear from God through scripture reading- Stillness, Attention, Connection, Invitation to Action, and Prayer.
• The reading plan is designed with grace. If I use a 7-day-a-week plan I get behind and I get discouraged and I drop out. A 5-day reading plan leaves room to catch up and to rest.
• Consider printing the plan on card stock and using it as a bookmark.
