Bible Sunday

Celebrating the Bible
through Psalm 34.

Inviting churches across Scotland to celebrate
the continuing impact of the Bible.

Bible Sunday is a day on which churches celebrate the continuing impact the Bible has on individuals and communities in Scotland and throughout the world.

Bible Sunday is celebrated annually, with churches across Scotland focusing their Sunday service on the same Bible passage and so joining together to celebrate God’s Word. Some churches celebrate Bible Sunday during mid-week meetings or at other times. A group of churches will often come together and hold a joint service. It’s an event for everyone in the fellowship, adults and children alike.

Whilst many churches celebrate Bible Sunday on the same day, you are free to choose any day to hold a Bible Sunday service. Take a look and download the free sermon resources, prayers, cafe church intergenerational activity, and testimonial stories, and join churches all over Scotland to celebrate Bible Sunday.

This year Bible Sunday takes place on the last Sunday of October, which is the 27th October 2024.

Bible Sunday is an opportunity for the church in Scotland to celebrate the Bible, this wonderful gift that God has given us of his word, through which God speaks so powerfully into our lives.

Our text this year is Psalm 34, a nearly 3,000 year old song found in the Bible. In this Psalm, David reflects upon a time when he was in deep trouble. In that trouble, David sought God, looked to God for help, and called on God to save him. David’s joyful testimony is that God delivered him from trouble.

The Bible makes clear that trouble comes to each one of us. But it is equally clear that God makes a difference in the midst of our troubles, and that his presence and power transform our lives in troubled times.

So if we find ourselves in trouble today, God, as ever, has a word for us from his living word, the Bible, that will transform our lives.
