Zach teaches on how to read the Bible and, more importantly, how to ask the right questions when engaging with it. He explains that the Bible was written by around 40–44 authors over a span of roughly 1,500 years, and that each author intentionally chose what to include and what to leave out.

Using the story of Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, Zach highlights how to focus on what the author is actually trying to communicate. Rather than getting caught up in secondary questions—like why the serpent was talking, where Adam was, or whether the fault lies more with Eve or Adam—he emphasizes the central message: the promise of an offspring who will ultimately triumph over Satan.

While the Bible is rich and multilayered, Zach stresses the importance of placing emphasis on the right themes throughout Scripture. Doing so helps build a right understanding of God, leading to deeper trust and intimacy with Him, as He desires for us to truly know Him and live in unity with Him.

In this message, Pastor Zach introduces the idea of intentional practices that create space and rhythm in our lives to deepen our relationship with God. As a church, we’ll be exploring spiritual habits that, when embraced, can deeply bless and shape each person’s life.

He reminds us that real transformation—like the fruit of a healthy tree—doesn’t come from striving harder, but from establishing rhythms that help us abide in the True Vine. As we remain connected to Christ, He is the one who transforms us and forms His image within us.
