Spiritual growth is not only about knowing Scripture. It is about living it. In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany share how the Bible moves from the page into our everyday choices. Scripture is essential to our fellowship with God; We learn how to see its treasures as inexhaustible and what it means to be a doer of the Word.

What We Discussed

01:25 - Why Scripture Is Essential
The Bible is described as a lamp, a guide, a weapon, and nourishment. Jeff emphasizes its power to teach, correct, and shape our lives (2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12).

05:01 - Use the Bible in Fellowship With God
Scripture is the primary way God speaks to us, through conviction, encouragement, correction, and blessing. Psalm 19:7-11 highlights the richness of God’s Word.

07:20 - Regard the Bible’s Treasures as Inexhaustible
Pastor Jeff encourages believers to see Scripture as endlessly rich, meeting our needs day by day, even moment by moment.

09:05 - Acknowledge Your Spiritual Needs
Bring your struggles, failures, and desires to God’s Word, trusting it to minister to you in every circumstance.

09:47 - Be a Doer of the Word
Hearing is not enough. We must act on what Scripture teaches, responding to warnings, promises, instructions, and commands.

11:25 - C.S. Lewis on “Good Pretending”
C.S. Lewis described “good pretending” as practicing who we already are in Christ.

15:52 - Building a Fund of Doctrinal Knowledge
As Believers, we must systematically grow in our understanding of biblical truth.

17:06 - Returning Daily to Scripture
The Bible nourishes our souls, protects us from deception, and provides wisdom. 

“May we increasingly give His Word a larger place in our lives and look to it daily for spiritual guidance and understanding.” - Pastor Jeff Cranston
