GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BIBLE

 

Let’s admit it—the Bible seems long and boring. Large chunks of it feel irrelevant to everyday life. But what if there’s more to the Bible than inspirational stories and encouraging quotes to make us feel better? What if the Bible was meant to be hard? Is there really a payoff for pushing through the Bible’s confusion and complexity?

 

There most certainly is.

 

We believe the full library of Scripture, all 66 books, create one unified story that points to Jesus. Any investment you make will pay off. No discipline has the potential to impact your life more than spending quality time getting to know your Bible every day. Even (and maybe especially) the parts that are weird or hard to understand.

These Bible Engagement resources are here to help you take the next step in your Bible journey. As you read Scripture for yourself, you will not only discover its beauty and power, but our hope is that you will also grow closer to Jesus than ever before.

Reading Plan

 

One of the best ways to stay engaged with Scripture throughout the year is to use a Bible reading plan. Find a plan that fits you online or in your local bookstore. We recommend the Read Scripture Plan.

APPS

 

These four apps make it easier to read, study, and remember Scripture wherever you go. Read Scripture guides you through the Bible with videos from BibleProject. Blue Letter Bible provides original-language tools, commentaries, and audio resources. YouVersion offers hundreds of reading plans and devotionals, while Verses helps you meditate on and memorize Scripture.

KIDS APPS

 

Bible App for Kids is a free, engaging way for children to explore Scripture through interactive stories, activities, and games.

CURRICULUM

 

We carefully choose Bible-centered curriculum for each of our ministries. Our Sunday School uses The Gospel Project, our Wednesday children’s ministry uses Awana, and our VBS curriculum comes from Answers in Genesis. Use the links below to learn more about these resources.

PODCASTS

 

You don’t have to read your Bible alone. Listen to the thoughtful consideration of the meaning of Scripture’s overarching storyline, key words and themes on The Bible Project podcast, hosted by Dr. Tim Mackie and Jon Collins. In addition, we think you’ll love Dr. Mackie’s sermon podcast Exploring My Strange Bible.
