Unlocking God's Word Series Week 4: How To Build a Bible Reading Habit

The Bible is the best-selling, least read and least understood book in the world today! We are going to expand on what we learned last week learning how to determine what the Bible is teaching and what it actually says. How do we interpret the Bible? Deductive vs. Inductive? Deductive can used to justify what is already presupposed by the use of passages. Deductive Bible study might say that you’re going to take the five stones of David to slay the five giants in your life. While inductive looks to interpret in context to a specific story such as that of David and the Goliath, which was not that he was a gunslinger or using the right rocks, but that he was not going to miss because the victory was not David’s, but God’s! God is able and just and powerful enough to deal with your issues today. David wasn’t doubling God’s ability. When we look at scriptures in the right way, we can get the right interpretation. I want you to have a Bible reading habit that you can understand and apply to your life. Normally we do Bible study as an act of completion to check the box or to maintain a reading plan that is not necessarily about comprehension and we can miss the right application. In the area of Bible study, everybody struggles. Or almost everyone and I want to present a better way.
