Bible Study: Chapter by chapter, book by book is a good method to learn the bible

Article V, Vol 1

I spent a lot of years of my life hopping and skipping all over the bible, as I read.  I was also lead down this path by many good ministers. I have no complaints about the ministers because that is the teaching method that is and was in place.  For many that method works well.  They can take you to certain scriptures that have had a major influence on their lives.

Currently, at Warner Baptist Church we are engaged in studying the Bible on a book by book, chapter by chapter approach. We find the approach informative, educational, uplifting, and revealing.

Following is our outline for study on April 26, 2011 at 7 p.m.
