When most Christians pick up a Bible, they rarely realize that they are holding a miracle between their hands.

But that doesn’t mean it’s just as easy to understand.

In fact, we can’t grow in our relationship with God, without experiencing a growing love for Scripture. Join us for this 6-day devotional diving into the importance of the Bible in growing our faith & relationship with God.

The Bible repeatedly reminds us that God reaches out to us. Join us for this 6-day devotional about the importance of the Presence of God in our lives.
