Beginning on February 17th, First Baptist Church will begin a 40 day journey of listening to the Bible together. Many other churches across the United States are taking time in 2010 to make the same commitment. The challenge to all of is this: "You've Got the Time!"
As Baptist Christians, we say that we are a "people of the book." Yet, we often don't put our time where our mouths are. Without time spent in the word, our hearts won't be where we want them to be.
28 minutes a day is all the time required to listen to the entire New Testament in 40 days. We do have the time! Our church, in partnership with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and Faith Comes By Hearing, is providing free audio New Testaments in MP3 format for everyone interested in taking this challenge.
If you haven't yet received a CD, you can listen on this webpage by using the application below. Or at the website of Faith Comes By Hearing, you can also download a MP3 New Testament for use on your computer or portable music player.
"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God," says Romans 10:17. Join us on this journey to hear God's voice through listening to God's word each day.
