How We Bible Study

Take a 6am time slot, once a week, at a caffeine house: the Sidewinder in Northside...

Add a 52 Chapter book of the Bible: Jeremiah

...and there you have your 1-Chapter-a-week deep study... Jeremiah at the Sidewinder!


Starts in just a week or so, so get yourselves ready and committed. We're finishing up Ephesians, and we'll spend the next year in Jeremiah.

Add to that Yearlong study a daily chapter of Proverbs (there are 31, so that works with monthly), a daily Psalm (there are 150, so that's a little off. Feel free to always read more), and you got yourself a great, simple, workable plan to get us all "on the same page".

The great thing is how, all this time, we've found ourselves echoing each others' scripture readings, just by the leading of the Spirit. I hope this is something that will INTENSIFY that.

So, Each Friday Morning at 6, we mosey down to the Sidewinder.
We read that day's Psalm
We read that day's Proverb
We read that week's Jeremiah Chapter
We drink coffee and discuss/share around the readings
We go to our days' work...

No kidding. We've had the 6am's running really smooth, now, for about a month and a half.
And there are also 6am's on monday and wednesday for prayer at the Sidewinder... Folks in mission in Northside come together to pray. Gary from City Cure and Joann from North Church come regularly...

I know that these early morning times seem hard, but it's great. You really grow with this, and it regulates life a bit with a discipline that honors the Lord!
