The Importance Of Sunday Scripture Readings

By Timothy Moore


A lot of Christians start their year with a plan to read the Holy book. Some reach their goal, but others do not. Then there are other people who do not even bother to take the words of God. The Bible is the most vital book written. It is the word of the living God and given to training people what is crucial for godliness and life.

Since you are considered as his child, you should be reliant on daily scriptures, trusting, and learning that this book is the only unfailing tool which God talks to his children. This reason will provide you a thorough understanding how important Sunday scripture readings and become the center of a worship service. Everyone should read it, sing it, and preach it on Sundays.

Reading the scripture is not an obligation but something you do in joy and happiness. You trust it as a mean by which God convicts, pursues, and draws. Standing in front of the church and reading the Bible means standing in his place and proclaiming his words. And since his words are very important, many members of the church have established a ministry that involved in scripture readings.

This ministry is usually composed of well trained and geared individuals to read the Bible properly. This is known as a teaching ministry. Certain things must be taken into account when teaching people who are joining the group. This will serve as your guideline in reading it in a public setting. It assumes that you are ready prior to the service.

First, try to determine the passage carefully. You should know and understand the tone, the genre, and main purpose for which it was made and written. Be sure to have an overall comprehension of what the passage means. Identify if the passage a meditative one that reflects on pain, persecution, or poetic ones.

If someone has been given the task to read the passage, it is recommended to spend more time in mastering it. Always remember that this is something that is quite unfamiliar to you and you will have a hard time understanding it. It is also helpful if you will use other translations or perhaps research about it. If you are still unsure about it, then you need to ask an experienced person.

Once you understand things, you should practice things. As you read it, try to understand its natural divisions and its flow to ensure you understand the basic ways to pronounce each word. And since you are going to read it loudly, make sure to practice out loud. Read it from the start to the end until you confidently able to capture its flow.

As you keep on practicing, you should learn each phrase and word that will be highlighted during the service. Look for a natural place to pause and the place where you should increase and decrease your volume. Your main task here is to show what is in the scriptures. Just be sure to practice any hard words.

Make sure to prepare everything before the service. The word of God highly deserves all your efforts. If you are stumbling and halting and even mispronouncing the words, then you are not serving your sisters and brothers well. As you see, the bible is the foundation truth that teaches everyone the history of everything in this world.
