Scripture

Caleb Willis, the worship and arts pastor, discussed the importance of engaging with Scripture through interpretation and meditation. He highlighted two contrasting ideologies: elevating Scripture to the place of God and dismissing it entirely. Willis referenced Dietrich Bonhoeffer's two steps for studying Scripture: interpretation and meditation. He shared statistics from a study by the Center for Bible Engagement, showing significant positive changes in life aspects for those engaging with Scripture four times a week. Practical tips included using apps like the Bible Project and Blue Letter Bible, and replacing distractions with Bible reading. Willis emphasized the transformative power of Scripture, quoting Isaiah 55:11.
