Scripture
Is the Bible still relevant?
We are all being formed by something. The scripture is a library of writings both divine and human, that tell a unified story, leading us to Jesus. But are the words in this strange, ancient book still relevant? Do they still mean anything to us today? To Jesus, the Bible is trustworthy. To Jesus, the Bible has authority. The scriptures were designed to be read for formation. To shape us into the image of Jesus. In this book, we find life. In this book, we find a new way to be human.

One Story That Leads To Jesus Reading Plan
Read for breadth. We believe you should be reading the Scriptures regularly in their entirety year after year. This reading plan was designed by BibleProject to inspire you to read through the entire Bible in one year.
Podcasts Series and the BibleProject Classroom.
Study for depth. We also believe you should be slowing down and studying a topic or book slowly to fill your minds and imagination with God’s truth. Pick a podcast series or take a class for free with a Bible Scholar or professor
Meditating on the Scriptures
We believe it is important not only to read for breadth and study for depth, but to slow down and prayerfully read through (I.e. meditate) the Scriptures. No commentaries. No podcasts. Just you, an open Bible and the Holy Spirit.
BREAD is a modern take on lectio divina, an ancient and time-tested method of meeting with God in the pages of the Bible. Our friends at KXC developed this plan and journal.
If we want to live into the fullness of the Kingdom we must be people who know and have the scriptures in us.
