Scripture Engagement
We engage Scripture because we want to meet with God. We hope to grow in our love for Jesus through Scripture and our witness to Jesus through Scripture. Engagement of Scripture can happen through study, prayer, teaching and preaching, listening, memorization, and many other approaches. The tools and resources in this collection will help you engage Scripture on our own, engage Scripture with others, and lead people to engage Scripture.
