Since 2012, She Reads Truth has maintained a singular mission: to be women in the Word of God every day. Ten years later, our community includes “Shes” from across the globe, but our mission hasn’t changed.
Reading Scripture together is the centerpiece of what we do at She Reads Truth. As we spend time as a community reading This Is The Church, we encourage you to start by reading the daily Scripture on your own. Then join us here to engage and encourage one another as we respond to what we’ve read. Each day for this series, we’ll include a brief summary of the reading along with a prompt for conversation.
Despite persecution, internal conflict, shortcomings, sin, rejection, and suffering, the Church endures because it is Christ who sustains it.
Discussion Question: What have you learned about the Church in this reading plan?

That because we are built on the foundation of God we will remain a strong community as long as we remember who God really is!
Throughout this study, I’ve learned to have a deeper appreciation for the Church. I’ve also learned to approach the Church with grace, because it is full of people who are broken and in need of healing, just like I am. We all need Jesus; the whole world needs Jesus. A church that does not stand strong in the truth that we all need Jesus, first and foremost, is not the church as God intended it to be, and should be avoided. Conversely, we should all pray to be part of a Church, a body of believers, that proclaims the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, no matter the cost.
I’ve learned that above all, above what doctrine you may hear. It’s our duty to first consult and listen to the Holy Spirit and search His ultimate say on how we should approach how we should live for His ultimate purpose for our lives. Thank you Jesus for your guidance, discernment, and wisdom ❤️
The church is made up of people seeking to proclaim Christ to the world. But people are not always receptive to the message and we might be ridiculed or even persecuted for this. We are to stand strong, loving those who hate us, just as Christ loved those who hated Him. Through that love and through Scripture, some will come to know Him as Saviour.
I have learned God has built His church and it will prevail no matter how much persecution it goes through. We need each other to help bring God’s message to a lost world.
Christ loved and died for His bride, the Church. Now He intercedes for us, sustains us! We are so blessed! Thank You, Jesus!
Hello She’s! I have learned a lot in this study. I think Day 30: A People in Progress really convicted me to have more grace for church leader’s sin. I have to trust that God is transforming other people, as Anne Lincoln said in the podcast. I am adding to my prayer list our church leaders and praying for their character and to resist sin. God bless you all!
Wow. I was in awe at the comment underneath the picture in the book. “Despite persecution, internal conflict, shortcomings, sin, rejection and suffering, the church endures because it is Christ who sustains it.” How incredibly true this statement is.
