Welcome to the Calvary Baptist Church's verse-by-verse Bible study blog! Each week, we take a closer look at a specific passage of Scripture that was covered in our Sunday sermons.
Through this blog, you'll gain further insights into the passage, as well as practical application tips to help you live out what you learn. We also provide you with a daily devotion guide that you can use to continue studying and meditating on the passage throughout the week.
As a family-friendly blog, we also offer a parents' guide for leading your children in discussions and activities related to the passage. We believe that studying the Bible as a family is a wonderful way to grow in faith and deepen relationships.
Our hope is that this blog will serve as a resource for you to grow in your knowledge and understanding of God's Word, and that it will provide opportunities for meaningful conversations and connections with others in our church community. Join us as we explore the rich depths of Scripture together!
