75 Days – Hearing God’s Voice

What is 75 Days?

There are 150 Psalms.  We are reading 2 a day in 75 Days (Hence the name 75 days. I know impressive, we can do math.)
The reading plan goes from June 26 until September 8th (The Reading Plan is below – pick up your bookmark reading plan at any 217church weekend service)

How does It work?

#1 We will pick one Psalm a week to preach on the weekend
#2 Read two Psalms a day from June 26th to September 8 .
#3 Subscribe to the Blog at http://joshconn.com/ to read the 75 Days 217staff journal
#4 Make your own entry in your own journal and respond on the blog and on the 217facebook page.

Why are we doing the 75 Days series?

We started 217church 15 months ago and we have seen God move in so many incredible ways. In one year we have baptized 57 people and this summer we want to learn more in how to hear God’s voice for direction as a church. We are using this summer to listen and prepare for a season of growth this fall. Starting September 18 we will go to two services and grow more than we ever have before.

75 Days is designed to give us three things this summer:

#1 Discipline in reading the Word everyday.
#2 Focus us to hear what God would say to us individually and together as we capture our thoughts.
#3 Unity among us as we study the word together.

The Preaching will include messages on:

June 26th – Meditation
July 3rd – Strength
July 10th – Worship
July 17th – Spirit
July 24th – Prayer

Can’t wait to see what God will do through this!

How Do I Make My Own Journal Entry?

A journal entry is simply a log of what God is saying to you as you study the Word.

S- Scripture, it all begins with the scripture, pick a key verse in the Psalm, the one that jumped out at you, the one that seems to speak to you the most today, record it.

O- Observation, make simple observations about the scripture using who what, when, where. It doesn’t have to be long, just simple and something you have noticed.

A- Application, This is where it gets personal. Is there a behavior to change? An attitude to correct? A sin to confess?  What situation are you facing today this verse speaks to? What do you need to do today?  Is there an action step for today?  Is there something concrete you won’t just say you will do, but that you will do? Application is all about letting God speak to you directly, then doing something about it. When you write, write in the first person, ‘I’

P- Prayer, write a prayer to God today, make it an honest expression to God about what you think about him, need, and what you would say to him at this moment.

  2. i am looking forward to doing this and learning about the psalms how do i get started

  3. Loved the message on Sunday! I look forward to walking through the Psalms & attempt journaling too!!
    As I was thinking about it today – there are so many decisions in my life that I want to hear God’s voice on – had a brainstorming exercise on it. Hope is that the God will whittle that list down & prioritize it as only HE can!

  5. Okay, I did notice a typo int the reading plan. At July 22-23 Psalm 55 got skipped over. The geek that I am, I’ve been using an algebraic equation for July of (a) the date (+b) 5 days from June to get the second of the 2 psalms I should be reading and then when August rolled around it blew my equation out of the water and I had to check and find out i am not on the same page. Forgive my quirkiness. I know we can’t change the published reading plan now. I’ll just conform.
