Part 1 of the "Finding Hope in God" Sermon Series

We need to have a strong foundation. So, when you read Scripture, ask about what you do not understand. You may have heard this before, but there is no such thing as a dumb question. Ask. Ask God. Ask a friend. Ask the pastor. Ask whoever you want. But do ask when you do not understand. Further, try to hear the words of the Lord in awe and reverence, just as the Jews held their scared scripture in faithful awe and reverence toward God. And finally, do not gloss your eyes over Scripture and call it quits. This is what I did when I set myself the challenge to read the Bible in one year. But I have gotten a lot more out of the books reading and discussing them slowly through our Bible Study. Read and study Scripture. Talk about it. Read about what other people have to say.
