Reading through the Bible is a much different than reading through any other book. It can often feel more like a journey or pilgrimage than an information download or healthy distraction. When you go on that journey, you quickly find that it is full of surprises, doubts, and challenges, as well as opportunities, encouragement, and affirmations. In fact, in that journey you often find that God reveals himself in ways you never expected.
Wrestling with all these things and journeying with God through his word however, is the way Chrstians throughout the centuries have grown in their faith. In fact, it is only through the truth of God’s word that Christians can know they are actually growing in the right direction. As Peter says to Jesus, “you have the words of eternal life, where else can we go?”
This year, join us as we read together through the word of God.
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (John 8:31-31)
