The ministry of Open the Bible is focused on clear accessible Bible teaching, with an eye to how the grand story of the Bible fits together and points throughout to Jesus Christ.
Open the Bible was founded in 1999 by Colin Smith. Originally from Scotland, Colin served for over two decades as Senior Pastor of The Orchard, a network of church congregations in the North West suburbs of Chicago in America. The ministry of Open the Bible began when a radio producer in the church suggested broadcasting Colin’s sermons. Colin’s focus on clear accessible Bible teaching, with an eye to how the grand story of the Bible fits together and points throughout to Jesus Christ, proved popular. Since then, the ministry has grown steady in size and reach. Today, Colin’s teaching is broadcast on over 650 radio stations and reaches millions of listeners worldwide, and he continues to write books and other materials to help you open the Bible.
