Deeper into Scripture is a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God’s Word daily and deeply. To accomplish this we have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture (usually 5-15 verses) 4 times. Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered. This repetitive reading and instruction takes us deeply into the Word of God and draws us closer to Him.

Learning the secret of Christian contentment is the necessary pursuit of every Christ follower. Why? Contentment allows each pursuer the opportunity to live in freedom, unencumbered, and at God’s disposal for His purpose.

This week, you are invited to taste the fullness of joy that Christian contentment brings your life.

As we praise God today, let's keep in mind the heavenly worship service we'll one day take part in: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain . . . !” (see Revelation 5:11-12).

How can we clearly distinguish God’s voice? By creating a culture of wisdom and faith as a safe place for developing spiritual discernment and receiving God’s revelation.

Ultimately, God’s revelation transforms us so we can embody Christ to the world. The holy progression is relationship, revelation, incarnation.
