Engaging with Scripture
Deeply
engaging with Scripture is important for all Christians, and
Methodism is no exception. John Wesley described Methodists as a
people who had been raised up to spread 'Scriptural Holiness'
throughout the land, and recognised that immersion in Scripture was
one key way in which the people of God grew into maturity and
faith. He also believed that searching the Scriptures was a 'means
of grace', and so wrote notes for readers on every book of the
Bible.

your law!
It is my meditation all day long.'

This section of the website includes a range of resources for
helping you engage with Scripture, ranging from scripts to Bible
plays to web links to videos. Many of these resources were first
developed in 2011, as the Methodist Church joined with

'One does not
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of
God.'
(Matt 4:4)

other organisations to celebrate the 400th
anniversary of the King James Bible. The KJV brought the Scripture
to people in English and, when read aloud, had a dramatic effect on
church attendance and peoples' lives. More resources, however, will
also be added as this website continues to develop.
Our hope for this website is that it can be a resource for
people to live Bible lives with confidence and compassion in their
relationships, workplaces and communities.
In the
Resources section,
you'll find a collection of resources that can help you - whether
individually or as part of a church community - engage with
Scripture.
Links and more ideas points to
websites and other resources that explore ways of using
Scripture.
Finally, the Stories section includes accounts of
how people have engaged with Scripture in the year of the Bible
(2011) and beyond. We also invite you to share your own stories so
that others can be inspired and encouraged in the journeys of
faith.
We also encourage you to return to the website throughout the
year as we add further resources and update existing
ones.
