The public reading of Scripture is the simple but powerful practice of gathering together and listening to God’s Word read out loud. In I Timothy 4:13, the Apostle Paul encouraged his young friend Timothy to be devoted to the public reading of Scripture. It was a tradition started all the way back when God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and continued through Jesus’ day.
