We pass through them multiple times every day. It’s a place where pathways or roads converge. Transportation arteries that may lead to divergent destinations all come together at intersections.

What if we imagined our Bibles kind of like this? If we divided our Bibles into four sections, we could imagine them all coming together at an intersection. At the point where they converge or intersect, there is the truth. Not just any truth, but Holy Spirit-inspired, character-shaping truth.

That is how we read the Bible at The Haven UMC. Each Sunday, we distribute the assigned reading for the following week. We encourage everyone to share their “intersections” with others through the week. And then on Sunday, our worship service and sermons are inspired by the four passages that we all read throughout the week. It is power to gather together for worship and sense the Holy Spirit bring all these passages to life that you have been dwelling on all week.

As we all read the Bible this way, the Holy Spirit changes us from the inside-out. We are being transformed to become more and more like Jesus as we study the Bible together and see how the Bible as a whole is applied to our lives.
