Many of you were a part of trying a new way of scripture immersion with us this fall. Using a new reading Bible called “Immerse”, over 100 of us read the entire new testament using a special reader’s edition that looks and feels like reading letters, songs and stories. It is amazing how different it was to experience God’s story in such a unique way! I personally felt it easier to find myself in the story of God’s Big Story.
Here what this person said about their Immerse experience;
I was a bit intimidated, to say the least, to attempt reading the entire New Testament in such a short amount of time, but after feeling prompted by the Spirit I just decided to jump in and give it a go. And I’m so glad I did! It has been a great experience. A true “immersion” into the life of Jesus, the ministry of Paul and the apostles. I’ve been struck by so many aspects of the ministry of Jesus that I can apply to my own life. Then being able to discuss it with others, has opened up some really great conversation, questions and growth by being in this together. The way this version is structured makes it easier to read. I truly look forward to my time in the Word and am amazed at how quickly it has gone!

Being able to discuss it with others, has opened up some really great conversation, questions and growth by doing this together. The Immerse Bible has been my catalyst to spending more time in God’s Word. The format is so easy to read and I can also listen using the app. The small discussion group adds so much to my understanding, helping me apply what I’ve learned to my daily life and providing me with great friendships. Looking forward to the next one in January!
We will do another round of this kind of Bible immersion and group format—incorporating spiritual discussions about what we are learning and experiencing. We invite you to make this a community experience. The next round will be “Immerse: Beginnings”, the beginning of the Old Testament story of God. Come see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restorations. As you begin to read through it, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
