This week we are focusing our time on the holy Scriptures. The Bible is a gift from God, designed to draw us deeper into our understanding and relationship with Him.
Each week, we will P.R.A.Y. – “P,” pausing to be still. “R,” ruminating on scripture. “A,” asking God to help us and “Y,” yielding to His will in our lives, come what may. This practice is also known as “Lectio Devina,” which is Latin for “Divine Reading.” Lectio Devina is an ancient practice dating back to early Christendom and is a way of meditating on a passage of scripture and letting the Holy Spirit speak to you afresh through the ancient words.

You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work.
