Have you tried Wordlive yet?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Wordlive is a website which offers all sorts of creative ways to get a daily dose of Bible (you can find it at www.wordlive.org<\/a>, or it\u2019s always linked under the \u2018Connect\u2019 tab on the Dock homepage).\u00a0 It\u2019s always been a big part of Dock-world (our Dock Walk every week follows up on the previous week\u2019s Wordlive readings) and I can\u2019t recommend it highly enough.<\/p>\n

Their website has recently had a revamp and it\u2019s now better than ever!\u00a0 There\u2019s no longer any need for lots of mouse-clicks to navigate through the site: now you make a simple choice between two styles – classic and \u2018alt\u2019 – and then everything\u2019s on one page.\u00a0 Classic is the choice for people who like to read the passage with some notes, thoughts, and background info; while \u2018Alt\u2019 is for people who prefer more creative video clips, artwork, and multimedia to illustrate the passage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Or you can download the podcast (either from the site or through iTunes) and enjoy a little 5-minute nugget of Bible on your headphones wherever you are throughout the day.\u00a0 This is becoming my favourite way to connect with the Bible – out in the open air, walking through Creation while learning more about the Creator.\u00a0 John Ortberg has a great phrase for it – he calls creation the \u201cbig book\u201d of God\u2019s revelation, and the Bible the \u201clittle book\u201d – so he recommends \u201cexperiencing the little book in the middle of the big book\u201d.\u00a0 So do I!<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t tried Wordlive before, maybe Holy Week is a good time.\u00a0 The Dock is a bit unusual among churches I\u2019ve known in that it doesn\u2019t have a routine of Holy Week services to follow the journey to the cross, betrayal, arrest, crucifixion, Good Friday and then the great reversal of Easter Sunday.\u00a0 Following and feeling the sweep of that narrative is a good thing – so even though there are no formal services throughout the week, it\u2019s good to know that Dockers are connecting with the story through Wordlive.\u00a0\"\"<\/a> In our separate places, but together as a Dock community, we\u2019re following along with the tragic Judas, the brave but fallible Peter, the conflicted Pontius Pilate, the confused and broken disciples, and the extraordinary figure of Jesus at the centre of it all, suffering such appalling injustice with a grace that still astounds.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s maybe a new way of following the story – but the great thing is that the story itself is old, eternal but also brand new and freshly-relevant each year.\u00a0 So however, wherever – whether through headphones, podcasts, websites, private study or public worship – don\u2019t let this Holy Week pass by without spending some time with the greatest story ever told.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
