GROW A DAILY BIBLE READING HABIT
Jesus at the end of the ‘sermon on the mount’ tells the story of the wise builder who built on solid ground and the foolish builder who built on sand. The wise builder is the person who hears God’s words and puts them into practice. This is why the Bible is so important, God gives us His words to put into practice in our lives. Just like the builder in the story who built on solid ground had a firm foundation, so we want to be building our lives on God’s word. Below are just a few helpful Bible reading resources that we would encourage you to check out.
