How to Read the Bible Relationally - Aaron McRae

from Hillside Community Church

Most people who read the Bible are reading it for the wrong thing.For information. For answers. For a checklist. And when it doesn't deliver, they close it and walk away disappointed. But what if the Bible was never meant to be read like a search engine — or a self-help book — or an instruction manual?Drawing from Luke 24 and the Road to Emmaus, Pastor Aaron unpacks what Scripture is actually designed to do: reveal a person, tell a story, teach a truth, and require a life. This is week one of a new series on Scripture — and it starts with one question: what would change if you read the Bible not for information, but for intimacy?One small habit. Consistently practiced. The power to transform your life.Scripture: Luke 24:13–49John 14:6John 16:13Romans 10:8–11James 1:221 John 5:3–4Resources: The Jesus Storybook BibleCape Town Commitment (Lausanne Movement)The Bible RecapYouVersion AppFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel. Stay Connected With Hillside Community Church.Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.com
