The Power of God's Playbook

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the importance of truly engaging with God's Word. The story of the Bereans from Acts 17 serves as our inspiration - these noble people eagerly received the gospel message but also diligently searched the Scriptures to verify its truth. This challenges us to not just passively listen to teaching, but to actively study and examine God's Word for ourselves. The stark contrast between our time spent in church versus the world (1 hour vs 167 hours) emphasizes the critical need for personal Bible study. We're encouraged to devote ourselves to Scripture, fellowship, communion, and prayer, just as the early church did. By doing so, we open ourselves to spiritual growth and transformation, allowing the Holy Spirit to illuminate God's truth in our lives.
