Day 147: Temple Worship (2026)

Mike Schmitz· Host0:00

[gentle music] Hi, my name's Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day one hundred and forty-seven. We're reading from First Kings Chapter Five, Second Chronicles Chapters Seven and Eight. We're also praying today Psalm sixty-six. As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version. It's the Second Catholic Edition, and I am using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. [laughs] To download your own Bible in a Year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. And if you have not yet subscribed to, to this podcast, you can subscribe to this podcast by clicking Subscribe. Very simple. Very easy. As I said, it's day one hundred and forty-seven, and that means, [laughs] not only does it mean that we're almost to day one hundred and fifty, which means halfway to day three hundred, which means closer to day three sixty-five, [laughs] but it also means that shortly after this, in maybe I would say roughly, I don't know, let's say give or take seven days from now, we're gonna be having our second Messianic checkpoint. In seven days from now. Uh, so one week from today, we're having our second Messianic checkpoint with the Gospel of Mark. You would know this if you had downloaded the [laughs] Bible in a Year reading plan. But if you didn't, now you do, and it is awesome because we're gonna get the chance, just like we did a while back with the Gospel of John. We're gonna be able to walk through this gospel in the middle of this whole story, right?
