IRPHUTNA 11:1

The Essential 100® Bible Challenge is a simple tool to read through the Big Story of God's Word. The reading plan is based on 50 Old Testament and 50 New Testament passages. Begin with the first part "In the Beginning." ®Produced by American Bible Society in partnership with Scripture Union, Inc.

In this 5-day plan, civil rights legend Dr. John M. Perkins explores the concept of race in the Scripture. From the stories of the Bible and his own life, he paints a beautiful portrait of the one human race that displays diversity while revealing ways that God's people have gone astray in making ethnic distinctions a statement on the individual's worth before God.

This reading plan features seven doctrines of the Christian faith representing some of the more thought-provoking and often perplexing questions about God and our world. Articles are excerpted from the "Doctrine 101" feature in the NIV Understand the Faith Study Bible.

What exactly happened, “In the beginning …” and in the time that followed?

Events like Creation of the universe in six days, a real Adam and Eve, and a global Flood are now questioned by many… including some Christians. Study the compelling truth Genesis provides in this 7-day plan inspired by the feature film IS GENESIS HISTORY?
