One-Year Bible Reading Plan  : Seekers & New Believers  | June: Comfort in Affliction and Joy in the Prison Epistles 

Welcome & Greeting Message

Welcome to June!

Congratulations on reaching the halfway point of the year! Taking time every day to connect with God's Word is a incredible achievement—take a moment to appreciate how far you've come!

This month, we focus on Paul's central letters to the early churches (2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians):

• 2 Corinthians (June 1 – June 11): Paul's most deeply personal letter. You will see how he faced hardships and discovered God's powerful promise: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

• Galatians (June 12 – June 17): The charter of Christian freedom. Paul boldly explains that salvation comes entirely through grace and faith, free from rigid rules or performance.

• The Prison Epistles (June 18 – June 30): Written while Paul was in captivity, these letters include Ephesians (God's grand vision for the church), Philippians (a letter overflowing with joy despite trials), and Colossians (the supremacy and fullness of Christ).

Approach these chapters like personal letters written to encourage your heart. If a verse speaks to you today, pause and turn it into a short prayer. Let's finish the first half of the year strong!

Monthly Highlights

Key Themes for June:

• Grace in Weakness: Discover how God displays His strength in our times of struggle (2 Corinthians 12).

Daily Reading Tips 

💡 Encouragement for June: 

1. Watch for Key Words: Notice how often "joy" appears in Philippians and "in Christ" appears in Ephesians.

2. Pray the Scriptures: When feeling anxious or stressed, try reflecting on Philippians 4:6–7 and turning your worries into prayer.

3. Keep It Simple: Spend 10–15 minutes soaking in one chapter a day—letting the message encourage your week.
