It’s okay to admit that you find it hard to read God’s word. Our lives and brains feel full and reading well takes dedicated effort and concentration. We might not be bookworms as it is, but add to that the fact that the Bible is a big and peculiar book, and we have a difficult task before us. The Bible is ancient, translated from foreign languages, made up of multiple genres, and written by multiple human authors across multiple time periods and cultures. It’s normal to need help to read the Bible.

Join us at Grange Baptist Church, weekly, on Tuesday evenings at 7:30-9:00pm starting the 22nd of April 2025, or on Sunday afternoons at 4:00-5:30pm starting the 27th April 2025.
