Scripture

This Sunday, Pastor Jared taught about the importance of Scripture as a spiritual practice and pattern for our lives. Throughout this week and as you continue wherever you are on your journey of Scripture, here are some thoughts to reflect on!

Why do you think we get so invested in stories? Research shows that reading stories is a form of media that leads often to greater empathy and other-centeredness, but why do you think that happens?

Have you ever seen or experienced the Bible or a passage of Scripture being isolated or used for harm rather than for good?

Why do you think the Bible is written in narrative form so often, rather than simply as a "reference book" of wisdom we can flip to at any given moment?
