How to Study the Bible // The Final Word // 2 Timothy 2:15 // Bobby Gourley


Listen Later

This message, rooted in 2 Timothy 2:15, urges believers to “study to show yourself approved,” contrasting screen-driven distraction and mental decay with the brain-healing, life-shaping power of Scripture. Your inner “operating system” (formed by culture, trauma, habits) must be reformatted by God’s Word so your first response is biblical, not emotional. Practically: read for context (verse → chapter → book → Testament → whole Bible), build a bridge to today (the Word is living and active), and get it into your heart, not just your head (Ps 119:9–11). Use simple tools—HEAR/SOAP (Highlight–Explain–Apply–Respond) and SPECK (Sin to confess, Promise to claim, Example to follow, Command to obey, Knowledge about God)—plus solid resources (ESV or Tony Evans Study Bible, Bible Project, NET Bible, Logos, Wiersbe’s “Be” series, “30 Days to Understand the Bible”). Challenge: pick one chapter this week, study it until it’s in you, and let God’s Spirit use it to transform your thinking, relationships, finances, and daily decisions—then respond in worship, prayer, and obedience.
