The disciples were stirred by what they saw when they saw Jesus pray. The disciples knew Jesus had something that they didn't. The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to spend time with the Father just like He did. What does Jesus want us to know about this gift of prayer?

The promise to Abram (Abraham) is a promise that is still impacting the world today. "Blessed to bless" was not only a promise about the Messiah, it's a call to live as a people who trust that God is our provider.

From the moment we turned our backs on God, the world took on a very different look from the Garden. Leaving the presence of God, the place we were made to live, opened the door for the unthinkable. The decision to be our own gods didn't free us. The decision to live our lives without God left us in chains.

We have heard that God made things good, but what we see in us and around us doesn't seem so good. We see hurt, abuses, sorrow, and death. How does the Scripture address pain and is there any hope?

Where does human value come from? What if it's not found in what we accomplish? What if it's found in understanding what our Creator has said about us?

There is great hope in considering how God made all things "good." God created all things, including humanity, with purpose and function. 

As we begin a new year and a new journey through the Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, lets start with spending some time considering some reasons WHY we should study the Scripture.
