READ THE BIBLE & LIVE IN FREEDOM!

As a church, this is one of the most vital practices that we can do together. As John 8:31-32 reminds us, "...If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." Simply said, reading the Bible regularly is essential to a life of FREEDOM.

As you know, the Bible is a big book, consisting of 66 different parts written by several dozen authors. Readers who approach it like any other book—beginning with page 1 and proceeding toward the end—can find themselves lost in a bewildering maze of ancient history and lists. Not to mention, busy schedules and limited confidence can end up discouraging a person from spending enough time in this amazing word from God. A good Bible reading plan helps overcome obstacles like these.
