Days 2-6 are the five readings. Day 7 (Saturday by default) is rest, never catch-up.", "Each evening has one OT and one NT reading; occasionally only one (ot or nt is null) where a single long chapter fills the evening.", "The last week of a season can have fewer than five evenings ('free evenings').", "Psalms are read only as the weekly psalm; Psalm 119 is split into parts at Hebrew-letter (8-verse) boundaries so the psalms fill the whole cycle." ], "prayer_before_reading": "Father,\nThank you for the Bible.\nThank you for loving us.\nMay our hearts grow in our love for you as we read the Bible today.\nLead us by your Holy Spirit to -\n- See with our eyes the things you want us to see\n- Hear with our ears the things you want us to hear\n- Learn with our minds the things you want us to learn\nHelp us to live how you want us to live.\nIn the name of Jesus we pray,\nAmen", "questions_after_reading": [ "What did you notice in the readings?", "What do you think God might be saying to you?" ], "season_previews": { "1": { "status": "approved by Richard (used in his calendar)", "text": "The books: Genesis and Exodus, with Matthew, Mark and Luke.\n\nWhere we're going: We begin at the very beginning. God makes the world and calls it good, then chooses one family, Abraham's, to bless the whole earth. Their story carries on to Egypt, where they end up as slaves, until God rescues them and meets them at Mount Sinai. Alongside this, we hear the life of Jesus three times over, as Matthew, Mark and Luke each tell it in their own way.\n\nYou might notice: Matthew opens with \"the book of the genealogy\" (Matthew 1:1), an echo of Genesis. Luke calls Jesus' coming death his \"departure\", in Greek his exodos (Luke 9:31). Both writers want us to hear the old stories in the new one.\n\nWhat to expect: Genesis has some hard stories, including violence and family betrayal; the Sunday notes will flag them a week ahead. The end of Exodus slows down into detailed plans for the tabernacle. Hearing the Gospels one after another means some stories come round more than once, which gives a chance to notice how each writer tells them." }, "2": { "status": "DRAFT by Claude, awaiting Richard's rewrite in his own voice. Not for publication as-is.", "text": "The books: Leviticus and Numbers, with John, Acts, Romans and 1 and 2 Corinthians.\n\nWhere we're going: Israel has been rescued from Egypt. Now God teaches them how to live as his people, with him living among them, and leads them through the wilderness towards the land he promised. In the New Testament, John tells the story of Jesus in his own way. Then Acts follows the first Christians as the good news spreads, and Paul writes to young churches learning how to live together.\n\nYou might notice: God makes his home with his people. In the tabernacle, God lives at the centre of Israel's camp. John says Jesus \"became flesh and dwelt among us\" (John 1:14), and Paul tells the church, \"you are God's temple\" (1 Corinthians 3:16). Paul even looks back to Israel in the wilderness himself (1 Corinthians 10:1–11).\n\nWhat to expect: Leviticus is mostly laws about sacrifice, worship and holiness. It can feel strange and slow, and that's all right: read it lightly, and look for what it shows about God wanting to be close to his people. Numbers moves between lists and lively stories of grumbling, rebellion and God's patience." }, "3": { "status": "DRAFT by Claude, awaiting Richard's rewrite in his own voice. Not for publication as-is.", "text": "The books: Deuteronomy, Joshua and Judges, with Galatians to Revelation.\n\nWhere we're going: Moses speaks to the people one last time before they enter the promised land, urging them to love God and keep his ways. Joshua leads them in, and the land is shared out between the tribes. Then Judges tells of what happens when the people forget God, again and again, and how he keeps raising up rescuers. In the New Testament we read the rest of the letters, ending with Revelation's vision of God making all things new.\n\nYou might notice: Hebrews looks back on these very stories: the rest that Joshua could not fully give (Hebrews 4), and people of faith like Rahab and Gideon (Hebrews 11). The promise of a land becomes the hope of a new heaven and earth in Revelation 21.\n\nWhat to expect: Joshua and Judges contain a lot of violence, and the end of Judges has some of the darkest stories in the Bible. It may be worth reading those Sunday notes carefully and deciding together how to handle them. Joshua's long lists of land boundaries can be read lightly. Revelation is full of strange images; it's fine to enjoy the pictures without solving every one." }, "4": { "status": "DRAFT by Claude, awaiting Richard's rewrite in his own voice. Not for publication as-is.", "text": "The books: Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 Kings, with Matthew, Mark and Luke.\n\nWhere we're going: After the dark days of Judges comes Ruth, a short and gentle story of loyalty and kindness. Then Israel asks for a king. We meet Samuel, Saul and David, the shepherd boy who becomes king, with all his faith and all his failings, and then Solomon, who builds the temple. The New Testament goes back to the start of its round, with Matthew, Mark and Luke again.\n\nYou might notice: Ruth and David both appear in Jesus' family line (Matthew 1:5–6), and people call Jesus \"Son of David\". The longing for a good king runs through these Old Testament books, and the Gospels tell of the King who finally fulfils it.\n\nWhat to expect: David's story is honest about sin, including violence and adultery, so some weeks will need care. The Sunday notes will flag them. Families who have been reading for a year will meet the Gospels a second time and may notice new things." }, "5": { "status": "DRAFT by Claude, awaiting Richard's rewrite in his own voice. Not for publication as-is.", "text": "The books: 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles and Ezra, with John, Acts, Romans and 1 and 2 Corinthians.\n\nWhere we're going: The kings who followed Solomon mostly turned away from God, and 2 Kings ends with Jerusalem destroyed and the people taken into exile. Chronicles then tells the history again, from Adam to the exile, for people who had come home and needed to remember who they were. Ezra begins the return and the rebuilding of the temple. In the New Testament, John, Acts and Paul's letters come round again.\n\nYou might notice: The temple is lost and then rebuilt. Jesus speaks of his own body as the temple (John 2:19–21), and Paul calls the church God's temple. It's a quieter thread this time, worth pointing out if a conversation turns that way.\n\nWhat to expect: This is one of the longest seasons. Chronicles opens with nine chapters of family trees, which can be read lightly or summarised. Some of its stories will feel familiar, because they retell Samuel and Kings. A word before Chronicles begins, about why the story is told again, may help." }, "6": { "status": "DRAFT by Claude, awaiting Richard's rewrite in his own voice. Not for publication as-is.", "text": "The books: Nehemiah, Esther, Job and Proverbs, with Galatians to Revelation.\n\nWhere we're going: Nehemiah rebuilds Jerusalem's walls. Esther tells how a young Jewish woman in a foreign palace saves her people, though God is never named in the book. Then the mood changes: Job wrestles with suffering and with God, and Proverbs gathers short, practical wisdom for everyday life. In the New Testament, the letters and Revelation come round again.\n\nYou might notice: This season has no single thread, and that's fine. Two links stand out: Job's suffering sits alongside James and 1 Peter, which speak to people going through hard times, and Proverbs sits well beside James, the New Testament's book of wisdom.\n\nWhat to expect: Job is long poetry and can feel heavy. It raises honest questions about why good people suffer, and doesn't give neat answers. This may be a season for \"we just don't know\" conversations. Proverbs is easier: often one saying is enough to talk about." }, "7": { "status": "DRAFT by Claude, awaiting Richard's rewrite in his own voice. Not for publication as-is.", "text": "The books: Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs and Isaiah, with Matthew, Mark and Luke.\n\nWhere we're going: Ecclesiastes asks what life is really for, with surprising honesty. Song of Songs is a love poem, celebrating love between a bride and her beloved. Then Isaiah, the great prophet, warns of judgement and promises a coming King, a suffering servant, and a new creation. The Gospels come round for the third time.\n\nYou might notice: Isaiah is quoted all through the Gospels: \"a virgin shall conceive\" (Matthew 1:23), and Jesus reading Isaiah 61 in the synagogue (Luke 4:16–21). This season begins near Christmas, which suits it well.\n\nWhat to expect: Song of Songs is a love poem for adults, so you may want to read it ahead and decide how to share it with younger ones. Isaiah is long and mostly poetry; moments like Isaiah 9, 40 and 53 are worth slowing down for." }, "8": { "status": "DRAFT by Claude, awaiting Richard's rewrite in his own voice. Not for publication as-is.", "text": "The books: Jeremiah, Lamentations and Ezekiel, with John, Acts, Romans and 1 and 2 Corinthians.\n\nWhere we're going: Jeremiah warns Jerusalem for years and lives to see it fall. Lamentations grieves over the ruined city. Ezekiel, among the exiles in Babylon, sees visions of God's glory leaving the temple, and of dry bones coming back to life. Through all three runs a promise: God will make a new beginning with his people. John, Acts and Paul's letters come round for the third time.\n\nYou might notice: Jeremiah promises a new covenant, written on people's hearts (Jeremiah 31:31–34), and Paul speaks of being ministers of that new covenant (2 Corinthians 3:6). Ezekiel's promise of God's Spirit (Ezekiel 36–37) sits alongside the Spirit poured out at Pentecost (Acts 2).\n\nWhat to expect: This is the longest season, and much of it is heavy, with warnings, grief and judgement. It may help to say at the start that lament is part of faith: God's people are allowed to cry out to him. Watch for the moments of hope, such as Jeremiah 31, Lamentations 3:22–23 and Ezekiel 37." }, "9": { "status": "DRAFT by Claude, awaiting Richard's rewrite in his own voice. Not for publication as-is.", "text": "The books: Daniel and the twelve shorter prophets, Hosea to Malachi, with Galatians to Revelation.\n\nWhere we're going: Daniel stays faithful in a foreign king's court, from the lions' den to visions of God's kingdom that will never end. Then come the twelve shorter prophets: Hosea's love for an unfaithful wife, Jonah running from God, Micah's call to \"do justice, love kindness and walk humbly\" (Micah 6:8), and more. Malachi ends the Old Testament looking forward to the one who will come. The letters and Revelation finish the cycle.\n\nYou might notice: Daniel's visions and Revelation sit naturally side by side, both seeing God's kingdom outlast every earthly power. The cycle ends with the new creation of Revelation 21–22, and then turns straight back to Genesis 1.\n\nWhat to expect: The books change quickly, some only a few chapters long, so a new prophet may arrive every week or two. Daniel's later visions and parts of Revelation are puzzling; it's fine to enjoy the big picture. As the cycle comes round, this is a good moment to look back together on what you've heard over the three years." } }, "seasons": [ { "n": 1, "start": "2026-11-01", "end": "2027-03-06", "weeks": 18,
