Christ City is a church that desires to know God, and what a gift it is that God desires for us to know Him. In His wisdom, He inspired the Scriptures to be written to reveal His character and His works to us. God wants to be known, and He has made Himself known through the words of the Bible. If we want to know God, we must be people who read His Word.
Understanding God through His word is a basic requirement for growth in the Christian life. While there are many aspects of growing in our relationship with God, they are all based on who He has revealed Himself to be in the Bible.
What a gift that we have preachers and teachers who can help explain the Bible to us, and who help us know God. But this good gift does not replace the need for individual Christians to be able to open up their Bibles and understand what they are reading.
