Hi friends, I'm Annie F. Downs. Let's read the Gospels. The Gospels are the first four

books of the New Testament in the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are the stories

of Jesus Christ's life on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals, and

in the Gospels will change you. Make sure you're subscribed today. Join us as we finish

reading the book of John today and start all over in September. And if you've already

purchased the Let's Read the Gospels guidebook at some time this year, you should receive

the pages for September and your inbox today. And as a reminder, if you'd like the reading

plan, some thoughts about what I've been processing throughout the month's reading, journal

prompts, and questions that help you go deeper. All of those are in the guidebook. And

when you buy it for September, you actually get the pages from the whole year so far,

January to August. So you're going to get quite a little PDF today. If you buy for September

and of course you'll receive the rest of the year as they release. What the rest of us

have done is either slid those into a folder or three whole punch them, put them into

a notebook. And it really is a great resource to go along as you are reading. So you'll

get the entire year's worth of reading plans and resources with that one time purchase.

So you can grab that at anyfdowns.com slash Gospels. Here's how today is going to work. I'll

read three chapters to you. You can listen or read along in your own Bible. And then I'll

pray. And that's it. So today is August 25th, day 25. And I'll be reading John chapters four

through six. And this month, I'm reading from the message. John four. Jesus realized that the

Pharisees were keeping count of the baptisms that he and John performed, although his disciples,
