How to Study the Bible So You Can Teach It | Brent Hatchett

We’re continuing our series on spiritual maturity by talking about how to study the Bible so you can live it and teach it. Last week we looked at sanctification, the process of being set apart by God for relationship with Him and partnership in His work. This week we’re digging into what that partnership looks like through Matthew 28:19-20 and the call to make disciples, baptize, and teach. The truth is you can’t teach what you don’t know, and spiritual maturity requires more than just an encounter with Jesus it requires formation through His Word. Together we’ll walk through 2 Timothy 3:16 and see how Scripture equips us through teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness. We’ll look at how to study the Bible through observation, interpretation, and application, and why it matters that we each know God’s Word for ourselves. Along the way we’ll touch on Psalms 1, Philippians 4, and close with the charge in 2 Timothy 4:1-5 to be ready in and out of season to teach and live the truth.
