Life Oriented in God's Word

What's your relationship with your Bible actually look like right now? For some of us, it's a stack of good intentions — worn in some places, untouched in others.In this message, Pastor Woody walks through a personal journey with Scripture — from childhood to now — anchored by a surprising Old Testament command: even Israel's future kings were told to personally write out and read God's Word every single day of their lives. Not delegate it. Not outsource it. Own it. If Scripture is that essential for a king, it's essential for the rest of us too.In this message you'll discover:-Why proximity to God's Word matters more than good intentions-What Deuteronomy 17 reveals about humility, consistency, and long-term faithfulness-A simple next step to re-engage with the Bible this week — no matter where you're starting fromScripture referenced: Psalm 1, Deuteronomy 17:18–20, Psalm 119:105, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Matthew 3:8/Luke 3:8, Matthew 11:29–30, Psalm 71:18, 2 Kings 22, 2 Chronicles 34Resources mentioned: Move by Greg L.
