For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Basics - Old and New Testament.
Bible is like a Library - It has a bunch of Books - Letters - and Poems.
1st thing to know about the Bible is it’s validity - Can you trust it?
Question; Ethan - If I told you - When we play Golf next, you’re going to hit Par on every hole - and you did it (Second time, third time) would you believe I maybe somewhat can tell the future?
**Show Picture** - Every time a prophesy was fulfilled, or a connection is made in the bible.
Some of the prophesies Jesus fulfilled;
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet— I can count all my bones— they stare and gloat over me; they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.
2nd thing about the Bible; It’s all about Jesus!
All roads lead to Jesus.
David and Goliath - Jesus is the Better David - He defeated Death for Good.
Joshua around Jericho - Jesus is going to defeat all the evil in teh world. Jesus is the better Joshua.
Where ever you are in the Bible you can ask, what does this tell me about Jesus?
It’s a book of Knoweldge, but it’s also a book to get to know Jesus more.
3rd thing; How does it apply to you?
Ask God to give you eyes to see.
Use to have a bible - It meant nothing, until I asked God to see > Now It’s like my breath, I can’t live without it.
Time - When I was laying in bed, felt pressure, and I opened the bible and turned here;
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.
Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Now because I know it’s true - and because I know this is talking about Jesus - It lead me to pray and ask Jesus to do it- and He did.
This book - Is your greatest resource, and your greatest weapon - It’s the only thing that God tells us will protect us and guide us.
Last thing - how do I do it?
SOAP
Scripture - Read it
Obsoervation - What is it saying?
Application - How do I apply it to my situation right now…
Prayer - Lord, show me how this plays out for me right now.
