The Whole Story

The Whole Story: A Year in the Bible with Lake Forest Church

We’re trying something new in 2021 – a year-long journey through the Bible called, “The Whole Story.” Each week, we’ll provide a Bible reading plan to help you better track along with the series. To prepare for each weekly message, we’d love for you to consider this reading plan as part of your weekly rhythm. (read daily or find one chunk of time):

Weekly Reading Plan: Week July 12

Reading Plan: July – November

Hard copies are also available – grab one this Sunday! If you would like one mailed to you, please email Pamela Schwarz.

BibleJourney for Small Groups & Individuals

This program, developed in partnership with Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, provides seminary level surveys of both the Old and New Testaments. Each  lesson (outlined below) will take 1-1.5 hours. While there is no major pressure to complete one lesson a week, doing so will help you stay aligned with our message series. We are offering participation in BibleJourney at a 50% discount of $37.50 per account. There will also be opportunities for a scholarship if you need one, as well as the opportunity to provide a scholarship to someone else if you are able. For Groups You can do the assigned lesson for the week before your group meets, or watch the content together, and then have discussion based on the workbook questions and supplemental questions provided by the church. Sign up to receive these questions in your inbox each Monday. 

Not in a Group but want to discuss the content with others? 

Elder Jaye Soss will be leading a virtual time together weekly for people who are interested in discussing BibleJourney. The group will meet weekly via Zoom on Thursday evenings from 7-8:30pm. Hop on any week you’d like to discuss the week’s scripture, sermon and lessons! Questions welcome. Register here.
