God’s Word Comes Near
Theme Verse: “The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart.” – Romans 10:8
Think about the last time you heard a great story. Did it make you laugh? Bring a tear to your eye? Evoke joy or anger, love or sadness? Each story, and every part of our lives, is shaped by words—spoken, heard, and read. The greatest story, though, is that of God’s salvation for all of creation. In the beginning God spoke words to create light and life. God’s Word came alive in Jesus Christ, the Savior. We read God’s word in scripture. The many ways we understand “Word” are at the heart of the theme for the week, as we emphasize the importance of God’s word that comes near.
