But this means we don&#8217;t hear the Word of God read very often. Passages like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.esvbible.org\/search\/romans+10%3A17\/\">Romans 10:17<\/a> remind us of how normal it was to speak of hearing the Word of God during the time when the Scriptures were written, &#8220;So faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, from June 1 to August 31, we will listen to the New Testament together for an average of 12 minutes a day, with July 1 and August 1 as catch-up days. In addition, this summer&#8217;s Sunday sermons will be a series of New Testament book overviews which follow the books we&#8217;re reading together.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can certainly <em>read<\/em> through the New Testament with us, but if you do plan to listen, here are some ways to obtain audio:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>MP3 CD from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithcomesbyhearing.com\/\">Faith Comes by Hearing<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c These are available at no cost at the Information Center and through the church office.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.esvbible.org\/Matthew+1\/\">ESV Online<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Listen for free on a computer or mobile device<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithcomesbyhearing.com\/ambassador\/free-audio-bible-download\">Faith Comes by Hearing<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Download audio for the ESV<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bible.is\/\">Bible.is<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Listen for free on a computer or mobile device<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crossway.org\/bibles\/esv-hear-the-word-audio-bible-mp3-609-mp3cd\/\">ESV Hear the Word Audio Bible<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Purchase MP3s from Crossway for 49.99<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mouth\">Mouth<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Read the New Testament out loud.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have never listened to the New Testament before, we encourage you to try this out as a fresh way to integrate God&#8217;s Word into your daily routine.
