Hi friends, I'm Annie F Downs. Let's read the Gospels. The Gospels are the first four books in the New Testament in the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are the stories of Jesus Christ life on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals, the miracles. And friends, in one week on May 1st,

for the first time ever, we're going to read the book of acts together here on

Let's Read the Gospels. We have got a free reading plan for you to keep along with

you as we go. It is at anti F downs.com slash Gospels. We'll link to that in

the show notes. So you can go download that this week. Get ready for us to continue diving

into acts after we finish the book of Matthew. May will be our last month of

You could always go back and listen

You get to decide how you spend your days in the Gospels.

So here's how this works.

So I'm gonna read three chapters to you today. You know we're taking 30 days to get through all four books.

So you can listen here on the podcast, you can read along in your own Bible, you can watch on YouTube if you want,

and then I'll pray and that is it but we would love to hear what

is standing out to you as well and the conversations on Instagram is the best

place to continue sharing that it's let's read the Gospels make sure you are

following there chatting it up with everybody who is reading the same thing you are reading today
