2 Timothy 2:14-19, 22-26
-The whole Bible is the story of Jesus
If you’re new to it, start in the new testament.
(The Gospels)
Find people to go through God’s word together with
Pray as you read it
If you’ve been studying the bible a long time, then “keep reading it.
pray through and ask God to renew your love for his word.”
pray through the hard seasons when it feels dry.
God’s love for us isn’t determined by how we “feel” that day.
Who loves football?
Studying Gods’ word requires diligence.
2 Timothy 2:14-15 NKJV
Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to [a]strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers.
15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
This word diligence comes from the Greek word meletao which means to practice , cultivate or conspire .
If you want to be great at something, spend alot of time doing that “one thing”
My Dad, was 5’8 and played college basketball.
He could tomahawk dunk it and that was not the most impressive thing about his basketball skills.
One of the most impressive things about his skill was his ability to shoot free-throws.
He once made 160 free-throws in a row at practice one day.
How?
Well, when he was a kid he would spend hours upon hours shooting basketball.
If you want to become a pro at something implement the 10,000 hour rule.
As Gladwell mentions, it takes 10,000 hours of intensive practice to achieve mastery of complex skills and materials.
If you want to be firm in God’s word, then spend time in it.
Studying scripture requires
Time
Resources
Community
Diligence
2. Stay Grounded through the shaky culture
Our culture can’t decide what is truth.
Our culture can’t decide what is right and what is wrong.
Culture changes, but God’s word never changes .
Consistent.
The Gospel is consistent throughout history.
It doesn’t matter which era.
It is the same yesterday, today and forever.
3. Use God’s word to influence others.
before you can influence others with the word of God, you must first be influenced by the Word of God.
Before i teach a class at shelton i have to study the material.
If i don’t I am ill prepared to teach them.
