Romans 10:18

Just like race teams use many different strategies to run a race, you can study the Bible in many ways. This Bible plan takes you through a simple acronym, R.A.C.E., that you can use to study the Bible on your own or in a group setting. We will break down each of these steps, and read through different passages together using the steps in the R.A.C.E Bible study method.

God’s people face a daily choice between obedience and obstinance. It marked Israel’s history. It marks ours too. Acts 7 is a face-off between obedience and obstinance as Jesus’s Kingdom continues to grow. This 5-day Plan continues a journey through the Book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of His followers as He expands His Kingdom to the ends of the Earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

Have you ever felt like reaching God requires an impossible climb, or wondered if His patience has run out on you? Romans 10 says otherwise. Across five days, discover that the righteousness you have been striving for is already near, in your mouth and in your heart, offered freely to everyone who calls on Him- no exceptions. Walk through the ordinariness of carrying that message to others, and finish with one of Scripture’s most tender pictures: God’s hands held open all day long, even toward resistance. Written for anyone who feels far away or tired of closing the gap alone.

We often wonder about our purpose in life. Jesus does not call us because we know how to do everything. Our primary call is to follow Him—ministry is an overflow of our daily walk with God. Jesus chooses those who are willing to walk with Him and be a blessing to those around them. In doing so, God’s will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.
