Episode 2742 - Lesson 5- Sabbath April 25 - How to study the Bible📖

Sabbath AfternoonRead for This Week’s Study: John 15:1-8, Mark 1:35, 1 Chron. 16:11, Ps. 119:105, Isa. 50:4, Isaiah 55:1-13Memory Text: “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11, NKJV).Think back to when you received your first Bible. Perhaps you were a child, and it was given to you by a Christian relative. Or perhaps you purchased it yourself as an adult. However long you’ve had your Bible for (perhaps you have more than one copy), consider the value that you place on this Book. Is it one of your most precious, treasured possessions, or do you take for granted that you have the living Word of God at your very fingertips? Do you struggle to be consistent in reading it? Have you ever wondered: Where do I start? How do I read this Book to grow closer to God?Martin Luther said, “For a number of years I have now annually read through the Bible twice. If the Bible were a large, mighty tree and all its words were little branches, I would have tapped at all the branches, eager to know what was there and what it had to offer.”Whether you experience a thriving, daily Bible study time, or whether your Bible sits mostly closed on a bookshelf, the reality is that we can all develop stronger Bible study times with God. This week we’ll explore some practical ways to study the Word of God better.*Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, May 2.
