Read the Bible
“All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Bible is God’s word to us-and His glory bursts forth from every page!
God has provided a way for all people to know Him and know His heart. The Bible is not a collection of loosely related stories. The Bible tells a single, unified story that is all about redemption with Jesus as the main character.
The purpose of reading the Bible is more than simply following a list of dos and don’ts or finding wisdom for living. The purpose of reading the Bible is to know God more intimately, to love Him more deeply, and to see more of His beauty and majesty!
We’ve collected resources aimed at helping you navigate your own journey with the Bible. Our hope is that as you dive into its pages, you’ll uncover the beauty, power, and hope woven throughout its stories, making sense of the story for our lives today.
