Deeper into Scripture is a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God’s Word daily and deeply. We have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times. Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered. This repetitive reading and instruction takes us deeply into the Word of God and draws us closer to Him.

Replacing these lies with God’s Truth will bring healing and comfort to those left behind. 

Whether you are in full-time ministry, helping a neighbor, teaching a children’s class, discipling a friend, or doing any other kind of service, you are doing ministry, and you can use some guiding principles.
