Bible

The Practice of Scripture Reading

There’s a bold claim within the Christian faith that the Bible is no mere work of human literature, but is actually co-authored by God Himself. And because of that, the Scriptures have real power to reveal important information that God wants us to have about Himself, what He’s like, what He loves and even what He’s up to. For thousands of years, Christians have read this book to not only learn about Jesus but to be with Him and to become like Him.

Our goal is to have more people engaging with the Bible in punctuated spaces, so check out the resources below. And we pray you’ll encounter the Author *of* this book *through* this book.

How not to read the bible

We love the nice parts of the Bible, the verses we put on coffee mugs and hang on inspirational posters in our offices. The problem is, there are plenty of verses that aren’t so nice. This can lead to confusion, doubt, and loss of faith for many. So what do we do with that? In this sermon series How (Not) To Read the Bible, we dive into what the Bible is, and what it is not, and how some pretty simple basic rules of reading can save you a world of confusion.
