2020 Reading Plan: Verse of the Week
And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!  Luke 12:22-24  ESV
   
Now more than ever, is the time to be in God's word. Jump in with us this year and commit to reading through the New Testament! Find our reading plan by clicking HERE.
