Simply put, the scripture practice will require us to learn to read Scripture as apprentices of Jesus, not just for information, but also for formation. It will require us to rewire our brains so they can deeply attune to God’s speaking voice as we read. And it will require us to make immersing our minds and hearts in Scripture a practice, a daily discipline of love. Over 4-weeks (starting February 9th), we will be stepping into the practice of scripture together, as we learn to read, meditate, study and memorize scripture.

Below you will find suggestions on how you can engage with us in the scripture practice over these 4-weeks. This includes videos that will help you reflect on each week’s teaching on the scripture practice and plan for each weeks scripture practice. You will also find some additional resources on the scripture practice (books, podcasts, etc.).

Steps to engage in the Scripture practice with us each week.

Step 1: Join us for a teaching on the scripture practice each Sunday at Journey Church starting on February 9th. You can also find the messages HERE on our YouTube channel if you are unable to attend.

Step 2: Read the short section in your Scripture Practice Guide that corresponds to each week’s teaching. (Click HERE for a digital copy or if you would like a printed copy of the Scripture Practice Guide we will have them available at church on Sundays.)

  • Week 01: Read (February 9th)

  • Week 02: Meditate (February 16th)

  • Week 03: Study (February 23rd)

  • Week 04: Memorize (March2nd)

Step 3: Get together with a group of people (friends, another family, your family, etc.) to watch the short video below that corresponds with each Sunday’s message/teaching and discuss the questions they provide and consider the practices they suggest. Talk through your experience of the previous week's solitude practice.

Step 4: Engage in the practice of scripture each week as directed in the Scripture Practice Guide based on your ability and desire to participate.

Step 5: Reflect on your experience in the space provided in the Scripture Practice Guide. You will use this to share from when you get together with friends or family.   

Step 6: Repeat these steps with us for each of the following weeks.
