Author and professor Dr. Brent Sandy features key insights from his book Hear Ye the Word of the Lord before leading the class in an exercise on performing Scripture. This was a stand alone class for the Leesburg Grace Church Engaging Hour. You will hear people from class interacting with questions. 

Key insights:

• Engagment with Bible reading has decreased by 21% in the USA in recent years.
• God spoke his word before it was written. He never commands us to read Scripture. But we are to hear, meditate on, and apply it. (Literacy was low in the ancient world.)
• Dynamic reading of Scripture, using pauses and body language, may impact people more than silently reading it.
• Scripture reading teams may complement the preaching and worship singing. More thought should be given to their development and performance.
