This Bible plan will take you through twenty five Old Testament and seventy five New Testament passages about Jesus.  You can pick up your fold-out planner from Colin.

From January we are starting a new series called Essential Jesus. 

This is a follow on course from E100 which we followed January to May 2011, so four years ago.  This time we’re challenging each other to read one hundred essential Bible readings about who Jesus is, from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.  We will do it over twenty weeks and introduce the topic of the next five Bible readings on each Sunday.  There is a book by the guy who wrote the E100 book, which was excellent.  Our aim will be to know Jesus better, to be better equipped to live like him and make him better known in our own life places to the people we mix with.

The 20 sections (5 readings per section) are:

1. Who is Jesus?

Old Testament
2. The Need for a Saviour
3. Previews of a Saviour
4. Psalms About a Saviour
5. Prophecies About a Saviour
