Join Pastors Nate Murray and Sam Burke as they take a deeper dive into week 2 of our I Am series. 

When we memorize Scripture, it gets committed to our memory. We learn it by heart but it’s important that it isn't just a new piece of information we insert. We don’t just want to study The Bible, we want to interact with Scripture so that it leads us TO Jesus, where we are dialoguing and talking with Him.

This prayer practice is an invitation to meet with the Lord by using your imagination as you enter into a story from Scripture. Place ourselves in the scene and imagine what you might see or smell. Then, we bring our full selves into the presence of Christ with the purpose of growing in intimacy with Him. 

The foundation for this practice is that ALL of scripture is rooted in the assurance that every part of the biblical story – the letters, parables, history, prophets, and gospels – all of it, is inspired and can give voice to God’s particular word to each one of us.

We're going to take a deeper dive into studying God's word. No matter what you have going on during your week, we want to provide tools and resources to use which do not require a seminary degree or 5 hours a day to study the Bible. Our goal is to help you say "yes" to Jesus' love in your everyday life. 

For our new sermon series, we will be jumping into the book of James. Each video will help encourage you to take time out of your day to dive deeper into the Bible. We hope you join us on this journey through James, and trust that God will meet you as you do!
