Know How to Study God’s Word
Ever opened the Bible wanting to hear from God… but walked away confused, bored, or unsure how it applied to your life? In this sermon, we explore why so many people struggle to engage Scripture and how God’s Word was never meant to stop at information alone. The Bible is living, active, and meant to shape not just what we know but who we become. This message invites you to move beyond simply hearing God’s Word to truly knowing it and living it, allowing Scripture to transform your heart, your character, and your everyday life. If you’ve ever wondered how to read the Bible in a way that feels real, meaningful, and life‑changing, this sermon is for you.
