It’s my honor to be one of your pastors. But I have a confession to make. If you’re depending on us to meet all of your spiritual needs, you’re going to be disappointed. We’re not the gurus or experts. We don’t have a corner on the market. Back in the 1500s, a guy named Martin Luther started a reformation helping people understand they could have direct access to God. Luther was right – YOU have direct access to God. You can pray on your own, worship on your own, and serve on your own. The church is a huge part of faith, but you can grow in your faith all week long, not just on Sunday. We wanted to send you some links and resources to help. Bible • YouVersion is a great website https://youversion/ (and they have a fantastic app, too) for reading the Bible. You can choose a reading plan, share notes and questions with others, and keep track of your progress. • The ESV Study Bible (esvstudybible.org/) is a great Bible to keep at home. There are lots of footnotes and articles to help you understand context and meaning. We use this Bible when were working on sermons. Books Here are a few of the books we’ve read that have helped us grow in our faith. • Basic Christianity • The Reason for God • Knowledge of the Holy • What’s So Amazing About Grace? • Mere Christianity Podcasts We listen to lots of sermons – here are some of our favorites. • Andy Stanley • Tim Keller • John Ortberg • Matt Chandler • David Platt We hope this list helps you grow in your faith. Pick one of the resources and try it out for a week or two. And be sure to let us know what you find helpful. Pastor Bobby & the Courageous Lead Team
