READING SCRIPTURE TOGETHER
Playlist: https://bit.ly/3Qc2Y1L

Reading Scripture Together is a series of weekly devotions from N.T. Wright Online. Reading scripture in public is not just about feeding our own spirits and minds, but about rehearsing the mighty acts of God for God's glory.

Join world-renowned professor, author, and former Bishop N.T. Wright to think together online about what God has done, and is doing, among us.

New Reading Scripture Together videos arrive every Monday. Make sure you like the video and subscribe to our channel so you never miss a single one.
