In this sermon, Pastor Stevan challenges the congregation to fall in love with God's word - the Bible. He acknowledges the challenges of consistently reading and understanding Scripture, but emphasizes the importance of making it a priority.

Pastor Stevan provides a practical 5-step method for effective Bible study: 1) Choose an understandable translation 2) Set a regular time, place and plan 3) Understand the context 4) Read slowly and ask questions 5) Pray for God to speak and apply His word.

Using the short book of Philemon as an example, the sermon models this Bible study approach. Pastor Stevan explains the context of Paul's letter to Philemon regarding the runaway slave Onesimus. He invites reflection by slowly reading through key passages and posing thoughtful questions. The overarching message is that while traditions, reason and experience help shape our faith, Scripture must remain our firm foundation and "home base" for knowing and following God's truth. Falling in love with God's living Word allows it to challenge, change and guide us in powerful ways.
