One of the greatest passions of our church is to help each of us spend more time in God’s Word.

The motivation for this passion is not one of legalism, or guilt, or traditionalism. Instead, our motivation is that we believe that God has made himself known. God has made himself knowable. We believe that God has given us His literal word, and that He now invites us to know Him better through it. And we believe the more we know Him, the greater our desire for His word will become!

Because of this passion, I would like to share a powerful new tool with you. The tool is called Read Scripture.

Read Scripture is a great app available in both App Store and Google Play. The app is free, and it well designed to be easy to use and to follow. You can find our more information on www.ReadScripture.org.

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.
