In this episode, we explore the foundational truth that God has spoken through His Word. Beginning with Psalm 1, we examine the life-changing power of Scripture and its role in shaping our understanding of God. How does God reveal Himself? What does it mean that the Bible is "God-breathed"? Why is Scripture essential for our spiritual growth?

We discuss general revelation through creation and special revelation through the inspired Word of God, demonstrating how the Bible transforms lives, guards against false teaching, and equips us for every good work.

Join us as we reflect on the authority, beauty, and impact of God’s Word, and take up the challenge to pair prayer with daily Scripture reading—a habit that leads to a richer, more fulfilling life in Christ.

📖 Key Scriptures: Psalm 1, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Romans 1:21-26, Romans 12:2

🎙️ Takeaways:

• The Bible is our primary way of knowing God.
• Scripture protects us from false doctrine.
• God’s Word is profitable and transforms our minds.
• Committing to daily Bible reading deepens our faith.

🔔 Challenge: Commit to regular Scripture reading. Start with the Gospel of John or the beginning of the Bible and see how God reveals Himself through His Word.

🙏 Prayer: May God stir our hearts to hunger for His truth and equip us to share His Word with a world in need.
