Hi friends I am 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 life on Earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals, the miracles.

Here on Let's read the Gospels, that is exactly what we do. Read those four books. For all of

2023 we read all four books in one month, three chapters a day for 30 days.

You can actually scroll back in this feed to find 12 sets of the Gospels red in that way.

12 different combinations of versions and order red.

But for 2024, we are changing things up.

For the months of January, February, and March,

I will read you one chapter a day,

mention a verse that stood out to me and then pray for us.

My hope is that this new rhythm gives us a little more space to think and digest details of Jesus' life that we may

have missed before. There is a free reading plan for those three months because

we love checking things off and

finishing what we start you can grab that at anti f downs dot com slash gospels I

encourage you no matter where you are on your faith journey to stick with us for the next few months.

89 days, to be exact.

The best way to be committed to that is to subscribe to the podcast so that it drops in the

feed for you every day and to invite a to the I'm going to read one chapter to you today. You can listen or read along in your own Bible and

then I'll mention the verse that stood out to me and I'll pray and that's it. But we'd

love to hear what stood out to you. Those conversations are happening on Instagram at Let's Read the Gospels. So be sure you're

falling there and chatting with your friends who are hearing the same chapter today. I am really excited

about this. Okay, so let's jump in.

Today is January 1st, and I'll be reading John 1
