In the New Testament, Paul told us not to just read the words of the Bible, but to “eat” them. As you devour God’s word, it will fill you with strength. Increase your understanding of the Bible by studying it with us on Sundays:
How do you consume the scriptures? The teachings of Jesus Christ and God’s prophets aren’t meant to just be read. They’re meant to be devoured, treasured, pondered, memorized, shared, kept close and acted upon. They are a gift from God to help you—to guide your life and bring you peace.
You can spend more time in the scriptures by studying the Bible on Sundays with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Missionaries in your area can help connect you with local classes:
