Redeemer family,
One of the simplest and most helpful ways we can keep encountering life with Jesus is by letting His Word set the rhythm of our days. The Robert Murray McCheyne reading plan gives us a gracious, shared path through the whole of Scripture, not to rush us, but to ground us. As we open the Bible day by day, we aren’t just checking a box; we’re opening ourselves to be met, shaped, corrected, and comforted by Jesus. God’s Word is one of the primary ways Jesus forms His people for a life of love. “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable… that the man or woman of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16–17). What I love about walking this plan together is that it’s never just for us. As Jesus meets us in the Scriptures, He forms us into people who carry His life into our neighborhoods, tables, and relationships. The psalmist says, “The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul” (Psalm 19:7), and revived souls become generous witnesses. When we are regularly returning to the Word, we are slowly re-storied—learning to see God, ourselves and others more truthfully. And over time, that quiet, faithful attentiveness bears fruit for the sake of others. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly”(Colossians 3:16).
So let’s step into this together with grace and expectancy. Some days will feel alive and illuminating; others may feel dry or ordinary. Both are part of abiding. Jesus promised, “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you… you will bear much fruit” (John 15:7–8). Our hope is not perfection, but presence, meeting Jesus in His Word so that His life might overflow through us. May God use this shared practice to draw us deeper into Christ and send us out, formed by His love, opening seats at our tables for others.
Enjoying Jesus with you,
Pastor Ryne
