Unlocking The Bible: Daily

Have you read through the whole Bible? That’s what Pastor Colin Smith challenged his church to do a few years ago. Many had tried this before and failed, but this time two things would be different.

• First, they would do it together, providing encouragement and accountability.
• Second, Colin would preach each Sunday from the Bible book they were reading.

More than 1400 people made that commitment — almost 75% of the church.

Now we have the joy of inviting you to Unlock The Bible for yourself as you listen to Colin Smith’s teaching here on LightSource.

At www.UnlockingTheBible.org, you can join an online community reading through the Bible in a year. You’ll also find plenty of spiritual growth resources designed to challenge you to grow in Christ. We want to see God work and pray that many people will discover the Bible story in a new way, and share it with others.

Colin Smith was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He came to personal faith in Christ at the age of six, and sensed God's call to pastoral ministry early in life. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Theology and Master of Philosophy from London Bible College. Before coming to the States in 1996, Colin served as the Senior Pastor of the Enfield Evangelical Free Church in London for 16 years. While in London, he was active in the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches in England; and served the Fellowship as president.

Colin currently serves as Senior Pastor of The Orchard, a Gospel-centered church in the Chicago area, with campuses in Arlington Heights, Barrington, and Itasca, Illinois. He is committed to preaching the Bible in a way that nourishes the soul by directing attention to Jesus Christ. He has published several books with Moody Publishers and is the teacher of the popular evangelistic video series, 10 Keys for Unlocking the Bible Story.
