It only took six years, but last night we finally did this activity and intentionally read the bible during church in place of a sermon.
For 25 or so minutes I gave everyone a copy of the book of Philippians and allowed them to read it in light of the following seven questions.
What stood out to you?
What was the key message?
What does it say about Jesus?
What does it say about the Christian life?
What does it say about the church?
How might us, as a church, live this out?
How might we, as individuals, live out the message of this passage?
If, whenever you read the bible, you engaged with these seven questions, then the meaning and application of the scriptures, I feel, would be far clearer and the prospect of engaging with the bible far less intimidating.
