If you have spent a bit of time around the church at some point in your lifetime, I'll bet you have, at some point (if not at many points), been told that you need to be reading your Bible. Some of us, I'm sure, feel guilty and ashamed over the fact that we don't read the Bible as much as we feel we should. Others of us, maybe haven't heard this as much and wonder what the big deal is all about. Isn't the Bible just an old history book of sorts? Why should I bother spending time reading it today?
In our previous series on spiritual formation, we spoke of the Bible, along with prayer and worship, as being a crucial part of our spiritual nourishment at every stage of growth along the way. Over these next three weeks, we will be looking in depth at 2 Timothy 3.10-4.5, a portion of the New Testament that speaks of the ongoing importance of the Bible to the life of every follower of Jesus. If you're someone who needs a reminder about why the habit of reading your Bible is so important; or if you'd like to go deeper in your practice and understanding of Bible reading; or if you're someone who isn't sure what all the fuss over the Bible is about to begin with; then this three part series is for you. Please join us starting this Sunday at 10am! I hope to see you there.
