How to Read the Bible: Letting God’s Word Transform YouA practical guide to Scripture that moves beyond reading — into life-changing transformation.Many people want to read the Bible more but don’t always know where to start. In this message, Journey Church walks through simple, practical steps to help you build a meaningful Bible-reading rhythm that actually transforms your life.

Using key passages like Hebrews 4:12 and Colossians 3:16, we explore how God’s Word is alive, powerful, and meant to fill your life — not just inform you.
You’ll learn how to:

• Choose a clear translation

• Pick a good starting point

• Set a consistent time and place

• Develop a simple reading plan

• Avoid eisegesis and practice exegesis

• Use the S.O.A.P. method (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer)

• Pray before and after reading

• Share what you learn and obey God’s leading

We study the Bible not just to gain information, but to allow God to shape our hearts, homes, marriages, and minds. This message will help you move from just reading Scripture… to letting Scripture read you.
