embrace god's word at a time of trial

All of our lives have changed, but that change will look different from one individual to the next. In these times of lockdown, the one thing that remains constant is the truth, urgency and necessity of God’s Word. There are different ways we can engage with these words, and we have provided resources that will help you in your personal devotion as you contemplate the impact of this pandemic, and God’s work through it.

SHARE GOD'S WORD WITH THE WORLD

Throughout this year, we’re encouraging the Scottish church to be part of Bible 2020, a global movement of people speaking the words of the Bible for the whole earth to hear. Even when we aren’t able to meet up with our church, Bible 2020 connects us with the local and the global church community.

app

bible 2020

Everyone, everywhere speaking the words of the Bible aloud for the whole earth to hear. Record yourself speaking a different verse every day, and share it on the Bible 2020 video wall.

The Bible 2020 app was created as a way to let the global church join together and cover the earth with God’s word. Now, more than ever, there is an opportunity to speak truths aloud, and encourage one another. While we can’t physically meet, the Bible 2020 app can show us that God’s word is still been spoken in towns and cities across the world.

Be part of this global movement, and encourage friends and family to join in too by sharing your videos via social media and instant messaging.

And how do we respond to God’s word during this time of lockdown?
