Read Scripture
Year of Biblical Literacy
For 2020, our church is diving headfirst into a yearlong series called ‘Year of Biblical Literacy.’ We’ll outline that series in a different post and will be publishing all of the sermons/resources, but we wanted to invite everyone to read through the whole Bible with us this year.
Our good friends at The Bible Project have produced a phenomenal app called ‘Read Scripture.’ Everyday includes a reading through the Scriptures and usually a video that helps you dive even deeper.
The heart behind Read Scripture is that everyone would read the Bible for themselves and discover the truth and beauty of God's Word. Scripture is God's gift to us, lighting up our paths and drawing us into relationship with Him. Read Scripture is more of an invitation and a commitment than it is a product.
To this end, we are curating a year-long Bible reading plan and supplementing the reading with amazingly creative videos (produced by our friends at the Bible Project) that explain every book of the Bible, major theological themes of the gospel, and tips on how to read the Bible.
We are encouraging a new generation to study the Scriptures honestly—to pursue truth even when it doesn't agree with our natural impulses. The vision of Read Scripture is not to tell people what the Bible says, but to teach them how to discover truth for themselves in the Word.
What if thousands of people started their days alone with God, reading Scripture, and responding with adoration and action? It would change everything.
We hope you’ll find the app incredibly helpful as you learn to cherish Christ more in your hearts and minds.
