We hope you will enjoy the devotionals, Bible readings, and resources to help you and your small group throughout the 09 Challenge.
Feel free to use the available resources, add comments to the devotionals, and interact with others using the site. I hope you will find this a valuable resource in your journey.
Read the NT in 63 Days!
An important part of the 9 Challenge is reading the entire New Testament in 63 days. We have made a reading plan available to help guide you throgh the process. You can pick up a copy of the reading plan in the lobby, or you can click here to download the daily Bible Reading Schedule. Or you can download a pdf by clicking here.
Listen Online
There are several resources you can use to listen online.
You can also listen to the Bible at the NIV site by clicking here. Type the book of the Bible and the chapter into the lookup line. You can only put in one chapter at a time. Hit the "Lookup" button. On the following page, there will be a small button at the top of the webpage, just above the biblical text, that says "Listen." This will open a small window that will begin playing the chosen book and chapter.
You can listen to the Bible reading online at Biblegateway.com by clicking here. Simply choose the book of the Bible and the chapter you would like to listen to. When you click play audio, the website will open your RealPlayer and begin playing the verses.
Messages Online
Each weekend the message focuses on one Kingdom principle. You can listen to our weekend messages online by clicking here. You can also listen to our weekly 10 minute drive time devotional podcast by clicking here.

Hello Everyone!
