The main idea of Tyler's message is that the Bible is a unified story that leads to Jesus, and we should engage with it consistently, holistically, and over a long period of time to truly understand its teachings.
Psalm 119:105, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Colossians 3:16, Psalm 1:1-3, Ephesians 5:18, 1 Timothy 5:23, Romans 14:21, Ecclesiastes 9:7, Luke 21:34, John 2:10
How does reading the Bible consistently and over a long period of time impact our spiritual growth?
Why is it important to approach the Bible with an open heart and willingness to learn from the harder parts?
In what ways can we learn to discern God's voice through reading and studying the Bible?
Pastor Tyler Minton from River City Church shares about how we can make sense of the Bible. He acknowledges that many of us struggle with Scripture as it can bring both life-giving truths and challenging concepts. However, the Bible is the bestselling and most translated book in the world, with 66 books written over 1,500 years in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic.
Let us engage with Scripture by reading, singing, reciting, meditating on, memorizing, and praying the words of the Bible. Just as Jesus did, we should make it a part of our daily lives.
We should also approach the Bible with an open heart and willingness to learn from the more difficult or complicated parts. And if we struggle to understand, we can seek guidance from a Biblically knowledgeable friend or pastor.
