Bible Reading
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105
Read every day
A simple way to begin
You do not need to be an expert to read the Bible — only willing. A few verses read slowly each day will do more than many chapters read in a hurry.
- Pray — ask God to speak to you through his word
- Read — a short passage, slowly, and if you can, aloud
- Reflect — what does this show me about God, and about myself?
- Respond — turn what you have read into prayer and action
Where to start
- The Gospel of Mark — the life of Jesus, briefly told
- The Psalms — prayers for every season of life
- The Gospel of John — who Jesus is
- Acts — the story of the first church
With the church
Follow the Sunday readings
Each Sunday has its own theme and readings in the calendar of the Church of South India. Reading them before you come to church is a good way to prepare for worship. See Bible Messages for recent themes.
