Many of us first heard Bible stories as children—David and Goliath, Noah’s Ark, the Good Samaritan. But St. Paul reminds us that the Scriptures we knew from infancy are meant to keep forming us throughout life.

In this homily, Fr. Edward Looney reflects on how to approach God’s Word with adult faith and deeper understanding. Using St. Paul’s words—“All Scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, refutation, correction, and training in righteousness”—Fr. Looney invites us to rediscover the power of Scripture through three simple questions:

1️⃣ What does the text say?

2️⃣ How does it speak to me personally?

3️⃣ How is it calling me to live differently?

Whether you’ve drifted from Bible reading or want to go deeper, this homily will help you encounter Scripture not just as a story from your childhood, but as a living Word meant to transform your adult life.
